🔥 There’s one skill that separates great IT Project Managers from everyone else-project tailoring. Most project managers get stuck trying to learn every new tool and process out there. They dive deep into theories but still struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. It’s frustrating. The truth is, great project managers don’t try to do it all-they focus on tailoring simple processes and tools that work best for their team and projects. That’s what creates transparency, predictability, and results. But here’s the thing-tailoring isn’t just guessing what might work. It’s about knowing three critical components: 1) Understanding project management on a deeper level. 2) Knowing exactly what to tailor. 3) Applying it effectively in real companies with real people. That’s why I created the Professional Development Plan for IT Project Managers-to help you master project tailoring and finally become the project manager who delivers every time, no matter the challenge. ✅ Click the link below to get your development plan now and take the next step toward mastering project management. itpmschool.com/get-plan?
GURPS is fun. Thanks for the relatable example. Takes me back 30 years ago. Also great examples of mistakes of being passionate about something and instead holding it back to facilitate the project and not take over. At least I would have to hold back my excitement on this subject by wagging my tail instead of barking and nipping.
I agree that user stories should be small enough, but specific to the login example you have showed here, I think it makes the integration more difficult. So if I was to write them, I would create a story to develop a login screen and then business logic separately in small pieces. Good video 👍
Hi Tejaswi, Thanks for sharing your insights. You might be correct. I don't think there's one best way to do it. Again, your experience and knowledge will impact the process a lot.
I find this examples of a planning meeting very helpful, thank you. The theory is helpful but I appreciate the examples of the messier less structured real life-ish example. This helps structure my thinking around the ‘exceptions’ to the theory. Thank you 😊.

You are welcome. I would have fun leading such a project.
And to improve the understanding of the problem, I would have to make the team play GURPS:)
