This is how you do "A Day in the Life of a....."! I've seen many of these types of videos and at the end of them you never really truly know what the person does in the specified role. Instead you would just see people getting coffee or exercising and pretend to type on their workstations. On another note I work in project management as well and this was refreshing to see a project manager showcasing their day and what it takes to be a project manager outside of my industry. Goes to show that project managers have a place in every industry which is why I enjoy my career. Good job Indeed!!

@@rogerdinhelm4671 Regardless I still answered your question. Not sure why your being condescending. I answered the what and to give context and I answered the “show” by saying “she shows”. Together those two statements answer what she truly does. Not sure what your looking for but other “day in the life of a” usually blur their screens and never really tell you or show you the tools they use. They also never show you engagement with other employees or stakeholders. If they do they edit the audio out. I understand why they do that because they may not want to share confidentiality information. However, indeed did a good job but ensuring that they hand picked activities that she could share and show us in the video above.

Project Management is an excellent field to work in if you seek excitement, want to avoid dullness, find solving problems quickly to be satisfying, and a whole slew of other pluses. After twenty plus years in software, hardware, and business-related PM work I've retired and now teach PM online. This is an always-growing field where good PMs can earn excellent money and have plenty of opportunities.

Thanks for your day in the life of a PM. I love project management, you get to lead a team to make a difference, and can really influence the outcome quality. You also have to be able to deal with conflict, mediate, think calmly through tough situations. It is not for everyone, as it can chew you up and spit you out if you let it. Highly recommend doing some formal training to really "sharpen the saw" (Stephen Covey) to become a competent PM. Oh, and I love sitting at my desk with a thermos of coffee to really enhance my thinking during meetings.

@@MontserratGarci , There are a number of ways to get into project management, from starting with formal training, to being part of project teams as a specialist within your organisation in your area of competence (e.g. your speciality within dentistry). If you can, let your manager know you want to be part of projects, or potentially liaise with your project management office (PMO) to see how you can be part of projects (look around your dentist, as everything needs a project, from equipment requirements gathering to installation etc). You can go straight into formal training, including Price2 , Agile practices, PMP etc, but from my 30 years of various industry experience, a majority of project managers are accidental project managers. They become a subject matter expert in their field, are able to deliver (get things done), and these turn from basic tasks to work packages (number of tasks), all of a sudden you have been given a number of people to help you do this…meaning you are leading a project team…… AKA an accidental project management. This is when I thought I needed to develop my skills formally in project management, and did a diploma in project management, which covered Price2, PMBoK, and Agile practices that gave me a “bag of tools” and methodologies to utilise to tailor them to the project I am working on. From my experience, I am best to PM in my industry (business improvement , ICT , and vendor contract negotiations and implementation). I could be a project manager on a construction project , as they use PM methodology, but I stay within my circle of competence as Warren Buffet says ““Everybody’s got a different circle of competence. The important thing is not how big the circle is. The important thing is staying inside the circle.”. The big thing is, ensure you know how to manage risks in a project, as poor risk management can land you in serious trouble, including jail and/or fines (e.g. health & safety, environmental etc)

Dont be fooled - her calendar looked pretty chill, probably early phase of a project. I would say at least 40% of the work time is communicating or moderating. Another 30% Planning/Preparing stuff, another 10% documentation/reporting. Whats left is improvements or knowledge transfer or small side projects. At least thats how it is for me. Oh, and managing one project at a time seems extra chill. For me a lot of the stress (not necessarily negative) comes from having to "jump" between different projects and switching between the different "worlds" of each project.

Tweak is a banned word in Project Management btw. It's CHANGE. Once you use this language your scope control will become so much better. Also, for any prospective PM's - a lot of the job will become commercial contracts management through CEMAR or other such NEC4 tools to track EWN's, CE's, prolongations/ deferrals & risk reductions. This role is quite reminiscant of a project admin role or junior PM (assistant PM) if you're job hunting. Full PM roles will also have legal responsibilities, particularly under CDM regs if your in construction.
