Keeping track of problems on projects is really important if you want to come across as a professional project manager. Nothing makes you look less credible than saying, “Oh really? I don’t know what’s happening about that,” when someone asks you about an issue. I use an issues log (it’s an Excel spreadsheet) to make sure I record, remember and manage all the issues on my projects.

Praising a book because it is pretty is probably shallow, but it does matter for the reader experience.

One of my clients had a platform called the “Internet channel” that was intended to increase user conversion and usability.

But there was an unintended side effect: many product groups relied on the platform to do the integration and make their functionality accessible to customers.

While the percentage of people actively disengaged from work (i.e., doing the bare minimum or worse) has spiked to 18%.

Project closure often gets overshadowed by the execution phase , and to be fair, there can be some confusion and overlap between the two. But this is exactly why the project closure phase exists: to make sure that there’s a clear finish line, that projects are fully signed, sealed, and delivered as agreed on.
