Maximize Powerful Tips in Managing Projects

We sat down with ‘The Studio Bridge’ Graphic Project Manager, Max Masocol, and asked him to give you some advice on how to “Max-imize” five (5) powerful tips toward successful Project Management. Here’s what he had to say…

But wait! Before learning those tips, let’s get to know him more.

Before joining the team, Max was also a Project Manager by profession. He’s been in the same field for 3 years. According to him, he has learned and practiced the values of honesty and transparency over time.

“It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you own them and learn from them”, he said.

On a personal note, Max is an arachnophobe (better keep him away from tarantulas or spiders!). In his free time, he loves going for long rides, reading fantasy novels and playing video games.

When we asked Max what makes him happy, he openly shared,

I’m a simple person. As long as I’m content, I’m happy – content with what I can provide for my family; and with what I contribute to my work.

Now, here are Max’s 5 Powerful Tips For Project Management Success:

Tip #1 – Communicate often

Ensure that all communication lines between your teammates and yourself are always open so that anyone can come up to you with any questions or doubts, feedback and suggestions.

Tip #2 – Divide and conquer

Divide the scope of the project into smaller parts that can be worked on by the team at the same time or concurrently. While boosting their morale, it motivates the team to work as one and contribute towards a common goal.

Tip #3 – Don’t micromanage

Meet regularly with your team. However, allow them to have their own breathing space while working without feeling micromanaged. Up-skill: Always be open and eager to learn new things from and with your teammates. How good it feels to be learning and working at the same time right?

Tip #4 – Avoid working on multiple tasks in parallel

Attention is wasted, and so is labor. It is worthwhile to evenly distribute the load and work on different projects in stages.

Tip #5 – Don’t overwork

Working to the point of overwork is not an exceptional thing, but a constant norm. Never forget that this attitude towards your health in the long term is fraught with a lot of negative consequences and risks.

When we asked Max about defining success, “Loving and enjoying what you are doing, be it taking care of your family or your current job. And owning a black card,” he concluded.

There you have it. We hope that you’ve learned some useful tips again from ‘The Studio Bridge’.
