069 - Project Management in an Alien Environment
Episode description
You’re a PM and you have landed on a strange new world where you don’t know the industry, the organization the people or the subject matter. How do you get oriented enough to intelligently deliver a project? How do you succeed in this alien environment?
In this episode, Kate and Kim talk about how to approach getting up to speed when you are faced with leading a project in a new department, new company, new domain or totally new industry where you don’t know the subject matter.
In summary:
- Get a head start where you can
- Stand on what you know
- Build trust then ask for help
- Fake it ‘til you make it
