Pitol thank you so much! I have definitely used your tips from part 1 and 2 and everyone in my office was Amazed! I cannot wait to start taking PM classes so I can become PM certified !! I love your videos!! You’re amazing Pitol! Thank you!
thank you so much again dear Ire. you present your teaching to us , as good as your name sounds. thank you thank you thank you . simple and impactful. am impacted.
Thank you iré for your videos. I have been binging since I discovered them. I am preparing for a project coordinator interview in a few days and these videos have blessed me immensely. May your light continue to shine brighter and brighter
Hi Ire. Kudos to you and your time in delivering the RAIDs and I will love you to do a detailed video on Risk management on its own. Thanks for all you do
Hey Pitol. I enjoy your videos loads please keep them coming. Any chance you're creating the video for reforecasting a budget soon? I'm simply an Oliver Twist right now haha.
Hey lovely. Haha thankss ! And I will keep them coming . If I’m honest, I have such a long list of requests that I’m working through . So I can’t say when it will come out. Plus I only post every fortnight . I’ll try to bump it up the list :)
Please do more on Risk Management. May you also do a detailed video on WBS and Work Packages with example. If possible with real project you once undertook.
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm taking on a new project related position and really wanted to dust off the fundamentals. I'm loving the professional, yet relatable approach. Literal lifesaver. :)
Thanks for this series Pitol. Amazing content. Could you please do a content on how to add contingency to plan and budget before they are being submitted to the business. Thank you
Thank you! There isn’t really a video worth to put in on that! Basically weigh up the risk, and put a reasonable amount of contingency in. General rule is, the more risk the most contingency
Ever encounteted change order request in SAP? 1mm change in design can take an entire week before the whole organisation is up to speed abougt it and have approved it. Protos and production items should be kept in separate cycles.
Awesome video. Thanks a lot. I love your energy while delivering this content. No double I have to go watch more of your content and keep a tap on the future ones as they drop. God bless!
This is so so helpful for me starting out as a project manager trainee, thank you for all you do - so clear and concise! Do you think someone slightly more introverted can still be successful in this career? I'm worried my shy-er tendencies might hold me back..
Hey! And thank you. Of course! Project management is all about leadership. And there are so many introverted leaders, so as long as you can still be a confident leader, your approach introverted or extroverted will work for you
Thanks . Not really, the brief might give some information that could help you identify some. But really until you discuss how you’re going to deliver the brief with the team, you can’t really identify risks
👏👏👏👏👏 very informative and detailed piece. Spot on with examples which makes understanding so easy. Thank you for yet another lovely and exceptional delivery. You are simply the best. Like Oliver Twist, looking out for more.
Hey ! And you are welcome. So dependencies are completely different from impacts . There is no real connection. Dependencies refer to the relationship between tasks. And an impact is just an affect of something happening :)
Hey this was super helpful! What happens when you have a dependency delay and then it's finally time to - let's say get it to the testing lab - but because we are now a month or two past when they were expecting you...and they are full...how do you address that or what might you do? Go find another testing lab?
Thank you ! So hopefully you will know a dependency is going to be missed or is at risk of being missed way in advance of the date that you need it to be fulfilled, and in that case you can manage it better. For example, you can speak to the lab to tell them if there is any flexibility to move the date, have a back up lab on standby. Really this is just risk management more than anything. In such situations contingency plans are key, and early communication with the lab to see what can be done to accommodate a delay
Ok I have completed this, The schedule and the budget video. Is there any other recommendation for basic pm. Also can projects be used for project budgeting. I noticed you used only a spreadsheet for that.
Hey! Erm, I don’t really have any recommendations unless you want to do formal certs . But that doesn’t seem like something you will need for the work you want to do . Also I didn’t get your second question lol
Tell me about it. Imagine your engineer coming to you out of the blue and telling you that to submit your plans to government for approval will cost N5million. Cost that you never even knew was there. Serious risks in projects.
It’s a risk defo, and that’s why it’s so important to understand all the deliverables as much as possible before starting the project. Due diligence is very key. And having the right expertise on the project
Of course, all this seems fine in theory, but anyone with experience of software development projects knows this stuff is BS, and ends up being an exercise in box ticking for the sake of it. Some comments on what's said here: - In general projects evolve extremely quickly and are very unpredictable. The very idea that you can identify and document all risks at the outset is rubbish. - A 'risk register' will be constantly out of date and no one will update it because they see it for the BS it is - What's needed is people on the project who know how to respond quickly to change when it happens - very often, things happen which there was no way of predicting at the outset, so what you need is people that can respond quickly and appropriately to issues as they arise. This is why Agile was invented. You need Agility, NOT more meaningless admin overhead - such as telling people they must create and maintain a 'risk register'. - In general, the fundamental misconception here is that it's possibly to keep track of issues/risks in this way. Projects are organic, fluid and dynamic. Trying to fit what happens into rigid and inflexible structures like this has never and will never work. - Screenshots shown indicate that you use Excel for managing issues. Excel is not a tool for managing or tracking issues, and is therefore not effective at this, but people attempt to use it in this way because they don't know what they're doing, usually. A tool such as Jira is for the purpose of managing and tracking issues, and that is the sort of tool that should be used - NOT Excel. - It was said that 'assumptions' are made without evidence. Why would you assume something without evidence? - Distinctions between risks, dependencies and assumptions are vague, to the point that the terms become fairly meaningless in this context. If a dependent activity does not occur on time, isn't that also a risk? Isn't the fact that an assumption may not be true a risk? Etc. - It's stated that issues always arise from risk - the inference being that it is possible to predict every issue that might arise, which is patent nonsense. Most project management theory is BS designed to make money for project management consultants, of one sort or another.
Lool not even gonna bother to read this. Your first point just set the tone because literally no one said you could identify all risks 😅 but Yerp anything else? Perhaps others May have the patience to read and find it useful. Thanks for the comment none the less 🤟🏾
Let me tell you a terrible risk. You are building and all of a sudden you hear that a major bridge is being planned to go through the property. Terrible risks. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😀😀
Loool that doesn’t sound great at all. And tbh I guess If still like that is possible then that would be a really red risk. And due diligence should be taken before you decide to start the project

I am a new PM and this is very helpful. Thank you for putting this content out there. Is there a major difference between Impacts and Dependencies?
Hey ! And you are welcome. So dependencies are completely different from impacts . There is no real connection. Dependencies refer to the relationship between tasks. And an impact is just an affect of something happening :)
@@pitolinmotion thanks 😊
This was really helpful

Hi please make video on how to start career as PM and how to gain experience , resume and interview tips.
Hey… kinda done videos on all these already. Apart from interview tip. I only do interview prep as private consulting :)
Well done sis, you are doing a wonderful job here. Please are you able to prepare one for APM Qualification exams 🙏
Thanks! And sorry can’t do as I’ve never done that cert
Thank you!!!!
You are welcome ! ☺️
Superb
Thank you 😊
Thank you Ire, learnt a lot... Can you also talk about stakeholder management
Hey hun! No probs. I’m actually developing a course. Stakeholder management will be part of that . So stay tuned !
@@pitolinmotion alrightyyy.... Thanks so much

How else will i give you 100 tumps up. you are good at what you do. if effective communication is a human, IRE is!!!
😅😅😅 thank you very much try much. Really appreciate this
If the imagination is limited. How does one parry new circumstances yet not included in raid?
"The probabilty is 100%. The house is on fire" all with a full smile 🤣 meee at work
😅😅😅😅 I’m literally a part time fire lady
could we have the excel you made as a guideline?
Hey! The template is available on my website :)
❤
Do you happen to offer 1 on 1 calls?
Hey yes I do consulting - so those would be 1-2-1 sessions, if you’re interested, just send me a dm via ig and I’ll give you more details :)
Excellent.
