Is your team in the office? Or are you a die-hard remote-first team? Remote work is here to stay, but managing a remote team comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is keeping everyone aligned and productive, especially when team members are spread across different time zones. Effective communication is key to overcoming these challenges. This involves setting clear expectations, using the right tools for collaboration, and regularly checking in with team members to ensure that everyone is on the same page. What strategies have you found effective for managing remote teams?

Fact: According to PMI, only 37% of teams report completing projects on time more often than not. Time is one of the least controllable aspect of #ProjectManagement . Things change, emergencies happen, roadmaps update. You never know what might cause scope to creep or due dates to change, but time is the biggest impacting factor of it all. However, with the right project management practices, teams can improve their ability to deliver projects on time. Effective project management involves setting realistic deadlines, allocating resources appropriately, and continuously monitoring progress. By taking a proactive approach to managing timelines, teams can avoid last-minute rushes and ensure that projects are completed on schedule. You can improve your team’s ability to deliver projects on time by adopting effective project management practices. Set realistic timelines, allocate resources appropriately, and monitor progress regularly.

Scope creep is a common challenge in project management, often leading to delays, cost overruns, and project failure. Swipe for four ways to manage it effectively.

Being a PM is overwhelmingly soft skill based. That’s why it’s so hard. “Soft” skills are usually deprioritized. Who needs emotional intelligence when you have great technical know how, right? But if PMs are the glue that hold a lot of technically skilled people together, then those soft skills are what make it possible. If you want to be a better PM, work on your soft skills. Here’s where to start 👇 💎 Set good boundaries - You don’t want to be too withholding, but you don’t want to overshare either 💎 Be adaptable - Hang loosely to your ideas, be ready to flex and help other flex with you 💎 Keep calm - PMs see projects blow up all the time, and you set the tone for how your team will react 💎 Be neutral - Conflict management isn’t just about what you say during a fight, it’s also about both sides going in feeling like they can trust you 💎 Watch the clock - Having great time management frees the technical team members to focus and know you’ll set the deadlines Project management isn’t just about managing tasks and timelines—it’s also about managing people. That’s why soft skills are everything. How do you incorporate emotional intelligence into your project management practices?

Less than 30% of organizations use project management software, or so says a report from Wellingtone. What are they using instead? Instead of complex tables… plain spreadsheets. Instead of detailed kanban boards… plain spreadsheets. Instead of flexible Gantt charts… plain spreadsheets. (Just with the lines colored in.) Instead of two-way integrations that keep your tech synced back and forth… You guessed it, manually updated spreadsheets. And don't get us wrong: we love spreadsheets! That's why Visor is built based on the foundation of an excellent spreadsheet. But we all know that relying on manual processes can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and missed deadlines. There are better ways out there to manage your projects. We recommend Visor of course, and we make it free just to help more people see what a difference it can make, but we’d honestly rather see more people using a different #PMsoftware than nothing at all. Don’t let outdated processes hold your organization back—consider adopting project management software to improve efficiency and achieve better project outcomes.

If you’re a PM, you’ve probably been told you have strong “soft skills.” What do many soft skills actually boil down to? High emotional intelligence. Conflict resolution, interpersonal skills, motivating leadership… it’s all about your “EI.” Swipe to learn more about why it matters for PMs.

The most powerful sentence any project manager can ever say? 🗣️“I don’t know, but I’ll find out.” It goes against everything we’re taught to do. Never admit you’re wrong, never admit you don’t know something. Make a guess. It’s all built around a fear of something simple: You’re scared of looking foolish. That’s understandable. Nobody wants their boss or their team or their coworkers to think less of them. But admitting when you don’t know something is one of the bravest things a PM can do. It helps avoid any number of problems that come from lying, like backtracking or looking worse later. But it’s not enough. Next, say: 🗣️ “Here’s when I’ll know” 🗣️ “Here’s how I’ll know.” These two statements support that you’re not just giving a cop-out, but that you’re serious about seeking out new information. More than that, they set expectations for the other person. Now that’s powerful. What sentences changed your life as a PM?

💥 📣 Did you know that 52% of professionals use three or more SaaS apps for managing projects and tasks at work? That’s a lot of data spread out all over the place… and we’re here to do something about it. Introducing Visor’s new integration with Asana - an intuitive, flexible, deep connection that helps you visualize all of your project planning data in one place, no matter where your team prefers to work. 💎 What makes this integration so special? Unlike low-fidelity integrations that import data by mapping it into their own system - losing details along the way - Visor has a full-fidelity, lossless integration with Asana. That means ALL your fields sync perfectly, including custom fields, formulas, and ID numbers. And all the details are as you’d expect, like logical ID sorting, so ABC-9 comes before ABC-11. The result is a seamless experience for managing your portfolio of projects and tasks. Once your Asana data is in Visor, you’ll be able to use Visor’s powerful visualization tools to grant your team, clients, and stakeholders insight into the right project information, exactly how you want them to see it. Best of all, this is a two-way integration, allowing you to push, pull, and sync records across both apps at the click of a mouse. No tedious manual updates… ever. 🎉 This integration is free out-of-the-box, so what’s stopping you? Try it out today, and find out how crystal clear your project portfolio can actually be.

Here’s a “creepy” Halloween fact for you: The Standish Group found that 52% of projects experience scope creep. Eek! 🕷️ Seriously though, scope creep is a common challenge in project management, often leading to delays, cost overruns, and project failure. However, with the right project management practices, scope creep can be managed effectively. To prevent scope creep, it’s essential to define the project scope clearly at the outset and ensure that all stakeholders are aligned on the project’s objectives. Regularly reviewing the scope and managing changes through a formal change control process can also help keep the project on track. Don’t let scope creep derail your projects—implement strong project management practices to keep your projects on track and within scope.
