- There are not so many real-life IT project examples. No one teaches you how to start a project in the real world. In fact, it has nothing to do with the theory of project management that you can find in books and courses. In this series, I plan to give you examples of project management in all its aspects.

Welcome!
Great content. Please keep this up.
Thanks! Doing my best. I've just published the second video in the series: ua-cam.com/video/mvc8c4HXWrU/v-deo.html
Greetings! I am currently doing my education in Project Management (though not specfic to IT) I really enjoyed the video. Even though I am not a seasoned PM I believe that during your meeting with Delena timelines and expectations need to be discussed and asked.
Hello! Yes, you are totally correct. Expectations and timelines are critical. You need to control them from day one.
Wow! Great content. I am really learning a lot. Please share the link to the next video.
Will upload soon on Tuesday. Stay tuned
😂😂😂
I LOVE THIS
Am having fun and learning at the same time.
Thanks! Glad you find it useful and fun.
Thanks for the video. How do you improve yourself regarding technical subjects? Which sources do you use?
Good question. And that’s the topic of the next video in the series. So stay tuned same time next week;)
Thank you ❤ I would ask about the timeline and the number of resource put in during visibility of the project
Good suggestion, Mohamed. Thanks for your participation.
Wow, you are Ukrainian?
Greetings from Kyiv
I have been subscribed to the channel for a last year.
Many useful topics are covered here.
Keep going!
Yes I am! :) I'm glad that videos are helpful. It inspires me to do more. Thanks for feedback.
I don't quite understand why the customer is requesting the project structure (kanban). Using a structure with fast iterations for early feedback makes sense, but why should the customer pick the approach, and not the team working on the project?
I could imagine this coming up on a collaborative project. But shouldn't you clarify on this to give your team more freedom?
That is to show you examples from the real world. Sometimes customers insist on certain approach that they are familiar with. Of course, you can challenge that decision. However, if it doesn't make much damage, I would try to address their needs at the beginning of our collaboration. Later, I may educate them in a better approach.
However, it's a great question.
1st questions is what is the duration of the project? - and what is the scope of the project? in other words, lets reveiw the statement of work (SOW).
These are good questions. However, there's no answer at this stage yet.
Instead, you may ask if customers have a deadline they want to try to meet.
On a very high level you can ask about the scope and even read the SOW. But in practice it's better to keep the scope open for discussion and adjust it later when you have a better understanding of the project.
Thanks for participating in the discussion!
Hello, it would be important to ask about the scope and the way and the way to measure success.
Great suggestion! Identifying success criteria is something many PMs forget. On bigger projects it’s essential. Thanks for participation:)
There is no point in asking your manager or the sales guy about the scope; they don't know. The scope details and all its specified deliverables will come from the client. Success will be measured by how happy and satisfied the client is and whether you get any more work.
A good question for the Project Manager to ask is “What is the budget for the project?”
Yes, agree. And often you won't get an answer in the IT industry.
I would ask what is that client is planning to achieve from this IOS application? What benefits our organization will have? Is their any time lines in mind? Have they done this project before?
These are all great and correct questions. What would you do if your customer have never done a software project before?
@@ITProjectManagers There're two chances, My customer is a software firm, and outsourcing this task or they are a non-software company. Both these case, I will ask if they have any ideas in mind? Any prototype? Any reference available in the market? Who are their competitors? What their unique selling point that they want to focus on in this product? What they want to achieve? Target audiences? Long term goal? Budget? All these factors play a role in designing a product.
In case customer fails to answer any of above, you will have to ask further more questions or help them with what you know and already have to find your desired answer.
After the meeting with Delana, schedule a meeting with the product sponsor to get a better understanding of the product and requirements.
That’s a difficult case. In fact, Delana is sponsor and product manager at the same time. What challenges should we except in such a case?
@@ITProjectManagers hmmm!!! on a positive note, she will be knowledgeable and be able to guide you on the product. On the flip side, her overly high expectations may set the stage for scope creep if you are not careful.
@@stephime4389 Yes, good assumptions. It will be a good input for stakeholder analysis. Stay tuned next week as we are going to meet Delana for the first time;)
@@ITProjectManagers exciting!! Looking forward to meeting Delana 🤗
GURPS👏
😍
Why didn't you push back on having to create the business case?
Good question. This is to show how projects in the real world look like. Especially small ones.
I could have pushed back and asked for business case. Maybe I could have helped with it. But is it a good investment of my and client's time? Is my contact person (Delana) actually possesses this knowledge. Will it have an impact on such a small project?
When you analyze all these questions you may come up with conclusion that running a project by the book is not applicable here. So, you take minimal required information to push the project further.
Does this answer your question? What is you take on this matter?
@@ITProjectManagers Thanks for the feedback. What would be your quantitative analysis to determine this decision? Meaning what figures would you think of to determine the size of the project? Solely on budget size? Or is it more intuitive based on experience?
@@user-qw2oo2be7b, It's more of the experience. There's no simple technique to quantify such decisions. But here's the thought process:
1. Are we responsible just for execution of the project or for the success of the product. In latter case, I would insist on the business case.
2. Are there several solution that we can implement to achieve a similar project goal. In case of multiple solution, BC will help align the expectation for the final product.
3. Is the project "expensive" or high-profile. In this case, I will use any trick that will help me improve chances for success and engage stakeholders. So, yes for the business case.
Interesting... Seems Organizational Project Maturity is also a factor here
@@user-qw2oo2be7b, yes, correct. project management maturity will be a strong factor here. If you ever need to write a business case and no one ever did it in the organization, it should be a collaborative effort with various expert in the company.
