Im aligned to a PMO and act as a Program Manager with the project manager title - I own the strategy for a few programs and I'm in way too many meetings but it's the nature of the role. One of the reasons why I'm looking around but don't get a sense things will be much different. What's your average?

like

10-15 min for team meetings which include daily stand ups with developers or designers doing the work

like

15/20 a week

20 to 25 hours per week

My last client I was in meetings at least 3/4 of the time. New client now 1/3 of the time.

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ? What are the expectations of leadership - to throw everything away and jump on to calls based on seniority ?

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?

Can anyone guide me to useful resources to create a Risk Matrix for an IT Project? Preferably aligned with industry standards.

Recently, I inherited a mess of a project. During the scope stages, it became more and more apparent that effective communication hadn't been established across all key stakeholders.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Creating a communication matrix often makes a difference to planning. How do you manage your communication within your projects?

Hey everyone, do you all know of any helpful resources or tools to manage projects? I’m working on four different projects right now and want to make sure I am meeting the needs of my stakeholders in a timely manner.

What projects are you currently working on? What are the challenges you're facing?

Looking for opportunities to work in my field eventually. I’m almost certified in project management through Google. Since I was previously trained in project management, I’m doing sometimes a week or 2 weeks worth of google coursework in one evening. I have used project management tools to improve processes and business outcomes ($$) in my jobs. And I have worked to teach others these principles to improve efficiency.
