Start by reviewing the original scope and ask. Then share the actual hours spent and go through the deliverables for each round. Make sure to call out what was out of scope.

Make sure what you communicate has an appropriate level of professional polish because your postmortem is still a form of communication with the client.

What’s the post Mortem for? A shoot? Helps to know some background. I have had a few for varying reasons. It’s not fun but I have to say it can help ground things and make way for better opportunities

Oh boy yes I have had those. I’m not sure the circumstances but I would approach it as learnings and opportunities. Hear what clients or team have to say, and understand them. Approach the topics or their gripes constructively as areas to grow from and have a plan in place for the next go around. If it’s clients, I would first have a regroup with your internal team to discuss, and make sure you’re clearing the air and all have the same understanding before speaking with clients

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?
