A project doesn’t come alone. More often than not, a PM has one large project or several medium-sized ones. In every company, the size of a project is a subjective concept, but it doesn’t matter, because every project has a different team, client, rhythm and dynamics. There are times when five projects can be safely controlled by coming once to a meeting with the team, and there are times when one small project sucks all the energy until the end of the working day. The ideal PM knows that the ideal project is the one he doesn’t need right now. If he sees that his resource is critically short, he will reason with you at the beginning. Often, though, you have to save the world and take on a new project. At least temporarily. Then you need to talk about risks, a backup plan and the period until the load stabilizes. When an ideal PM leads several projects, he doesn’t jump between projects like a wolf after eggs. He strives for harmony and organization between projects. So that there is no overlap in communication, resources, and key milestones. Often you can’t get everything set up in unison and have to juggle priorities, meetings, time and resources. But for the ideal PM, this is not a problem. Once you’ve juggled, you can continue to work smoothly, because he knows what he can adjust in the project to manage his workload. Sometimes you have to take a risk and delegate without preparation, but it helps to gain experience for ideal PMs who are starting out.
