Senior technologists are often tasked with “dealing with ambiguity”. It can be daunting to get started with project management when you are used to getting tickets. This framework will walk through the entire project process, from ideation to presentation. This includes practical exercises like Impact Effort Matrix for planning and Success Statements for reporting as well as techniques for delighting stakeholders while keeping your teammates from burning out. Owning your project management means knowing you are doing the right work while having a broad impact.
