Thank you for your video. Very good.
I have 2,5 years of experience in IT support for a huge company, I'm 26 years old soon, without degree, and I want a better job since this one is bearly above minimum wage and it became pretty repetitive and feels like dead end job if I stay for longer. However do you think it gives me give me any advantage in becoming junior project manager or I kinda wasted 1,5 year in rock bottom IT job? I feel kinda guilty that I didn't think of transferring sooner like, right after I gathered my first year of experience in any IT job...
what is the name of the software? thank you very much!

I successfully cleared IPMA level D certification. Do you think its a good fit on my profile especially when I'm just getting into the industry??
Your job search starts with applying to a job opening with a resume. Any certification is just one or two lines of text in your resume. For entry-level jobs, there are no mandatory certifications. So, in your case it a nice to have addition. So, the remaining 99% of the text in your resume is what actually matters.
I stumbled on this video. Great info!!! Please follow what is the delivery method the company is using. More often than not it is in Powerpoint than email body. So that the stakeholders can easily compile your slide into another deck.
Thanks. In most cases, I try to convince stakeholders to use either a plain text report in an email or a dashboard in your PM tool (Jira/Asana etc.) If you do need slides that stakeholders need to reuse, I would create only the required slides separately. The hardest part here is that most stakeholders don't know a better why to communicate. So, you have to educate and convince them. It may take time.

I was software engineer, suddenly I became SR PM :\ and was not so easy but a lot of things you said here were said to me by my mentor. Thanks for clarify it!
You are welcome!
Me sitting over here in an org that knows nothing about project management, slotted into a project manager role running (at this point) 35 projects...... someone help.... 😅😅😅. Its mostly the IT portion of those projects but still.
DevOps?
Very sensitive discussion. Thanks brother man.
Thanks for listening. So, are you in multi-project trap right now?
@@ITProjectManagers No boss, I'm a newbie in PM,still applying. God bless you.
Nice, than good luck with your job search!
You have touched upon a very important point.
Glad you see it the same way. I think most project managers don't realize this. Do you run multiple projects right now? What's your plan to break free?:)
@@ITProjectManagers I resigned. I felt I got lost in a never ending loop. I was mentally traumatised, was lost the appetite to explore and learn new things. The main problem was my colleagues see this as my disability to manage things. Once the unnecessary blame game started being played I couldn't control anymore. Everything you said in the first half of this video is exactly what I have been through. I couldn't believe when you explained it so well. I wish everyone realises this before it's too late.
Sorry to hear that. And thanks for sharing. I hope you recover soon. There are still many great projects out there in great companies. Not all of them are bad.
@@ITProjectManagers Could you please make a video on managing single complex and long running projects?
Subscribed to the newsletter. Thank you.
I hate leading multiple projects
Yeah, me too. I worked really hard to ensure I lead one to two projects max.

Why you ask money. Its free you told
What do you mean?
this is what i need thanks
Glad you enjoyed it:)
✅ Get promoted to Senior IT Project Manager, without juggling an unmanageable workload itpmschool.com/go/plan
I'll try to ask the developer to give me a preliminary estimate which I will cautiously explain to the client mentioning that nothing out of this is final, I guess that should work! Or if not, then I'll watch the rest of the video to find it out.
I don't recommend doing that. You need to control expectations right from the start. Stakeholders will remember the first thing you say. After that, it's hard to change their perception...
@@ITProjectManagers Sure Dmytro, then do you rather I get on a call with the senior tech people to discuss the timelines and estimates more prominently?
@@itsmechicpalak Well, in my world, I would give the requirements to business analyst first or discuss it with the team. This way we can uncover all the requirements. Then, I would assign the estimation to the corresponding team lead.
No offense but most of project managment (as a whole) seems like bullshit
From the outside, it may seem like that. But you'll only appreciate it when you need to organize the work of people who are not motivated to collaborate. Suddenly, project management is a blessing:)
I am managing 6 Projects and 1 Program right now.
Wow. That's on the high-end of the workload. Thanks for participating!
Hi Dmytro, I'm currently managing 4 projects and each one of them is so critical for me.
Four small projects are still manageable without any special effort. Nevertheless, it is the point where you need to start elevating your role.
Excellent video!!! I am still thinking about the "weakness question". Very good explanation. I need to think about this. Excellent material.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant start Dmytro, I'm getting more and more impressed by every new video, keep it up, sir. I wish to become like you. Cheers!!
Thank you very much!
I'm a committed full-time project manager recently been fired. I'm looking to upskill myself. I've followed many of your videos and enjoyed every bit since you put so much effort into them to make them look like a real-life experience. Make as many videos as you can on project management. I wanna learn everything I can!
Doing my best to produce videos every week:)
Hey, Dmytro, great content. Are you using the premium version because many functionalities are either disabled for me or just not showing?
No, I'm using free version of Jira. I think you are working with a team-managed project. It has less capabilities. Try creating a company managed project. It will have all customizations available.
