When you're busy, it's easy to let things like project plans, status reports and well-planned meetings fall by the wayside. But when these things slip, so does communication and trust with stakeholders. No matter how you work—agile, waterfall, hybrid, etc.—you have a plan in place. There are a series of steps that you will take to get the work done. And to keep things moving, you'll need stakeholders to be involved and in the loop. They need to know when and where to plug in so you can negotiate risks, get feedback and meet deadlines. Brett Harned, Founder of the Digital PM Summit and Director of Education at TeamGantt, outlines three solid PM tools that can help foster better communication, more trusting relationships and a brighter future for your projects. Listen in.
It's the week after the Digital PM Summit and we have so many people to thank. Thank you to Brett Harned and Lori Averitt of the Bureau for putting together all of the fantastic programming and event details, and to everyone who attended and supported the event—all of our volunteers and speakers, Zoho Projects, Smartsheet, InVision, Mailchimp and VOGSY. Without your help, none of this would have been possible.
Brett Harned is the Director of Education at TeamGantt and the creator of the Digital PM Summit, an annual conference for digital project managers to share their knowledge and speak passionately about what they do. In 2012, two dozen studio owners gathered together to share experiences, ideas, and challenges. With that meeting, the Bureau of Digital was formed. This community has grown to include digital leaders, in house teams, product shops, and many of the world’s largest digital companies. With the Bureau community, you will find support networks that encourage shared passions and goals. Agency owners, business developers, operations directors, and more finally have a place to connect and create. Bureau of Digital members are made up of all types of digital professionals. They are a diverse group with a common ground. This private community has the support of a network of like-minded experts. The bureau has always prioritized bringing people in the digital industry together. Brett Harned has nearly 20 years of experience under his belt in communications and project management. He uses his passion for teaching and community building at TeamGant, where he offers classes on project management to help better communities.
Whether you’re a seasoned PMP or a brand new project leader with no formal training, you’ve likely thought about ways to level up your skillset to make you a better PM and your career. But where do you go to learn? Sure, TeamGantt is a great starting point for classes, resources, and templates, but there’s more. In this episode, Brett talked to PM trainer Rachel Gertz about PM education, and a few related topics: Focusing on the right things as a PM, not just your plans or process How to continue to learn and grow as an experienced PM The value of certifications Where project management is headed Managing risk, and not trying to control everything The advantages of being in command of facts, which allows you to be relaxed The conversation went in a few different directions, but always came back to the value of being open and ready to learn.

As project leaders, we have to adapt and speak to a variety of people at many levels in organizations about a wide-range of topics. It's a tough gig
“Until designers can speak the language of business (and to some degree talk their talk), we’re just going to be the people that make things look good." An apology: I had some unknown issues with my gear during this recording so the quality suffered a bit. However, it was such a great conversation I just had to post it! Greg Storey is an Executive Director of Design at USAA, captain of industry, and an all around badass designer and leader of designers. It’s been a while since Greg and I caught up and so we covered a bunch of important design business topics in this extra long episode of Hustle. I hope you enjoy it. Also check out Greg's podcast Sprints and Milestones where he and Brett Harned share war stories, tips, tactics, and anecdotes on navigating the sometimes rough waters of getting digital projects done. On this episode, we discuss: The team that Greg leads at USAA, which focuses on investment products What it was like using Iomega zips and Jaz drives The biggest challenges that design organizations at large companies face Design has it’s seat at the table but we don’t realize that we have to push the campaign further Why designers should look to the IT industry for inspiration for communicating our value, how we impact business, and how to engage The impact of modeling your team and pace after the Bay Area “move fast” culture and failing cheap vs. failing fast Why designers needs to be good at business and be put on the hook and share responsibility for the performance of the things we make How agencies can be more involved in all of the hard design work that's needed after the initial design is delivered Why organizational empathy is just as important as user empathy Developing the skill of asking and understanding the “Why, What, and How” The book “Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win” Visit the Funsize website Subscribe to The Funsize Digest

Project management encompasses an important set of skills, such as communication, planning, and forecasting. But does someone need the title of project manager to actually do the work? In Brett Harned’s book Project Management for Humans, he makes the argument that project management is always needed on projects but the role itself is less important. You should focus on the skills in order to manage projects well. In this podcast, Brett shares some of the highlights from his book. Our hosts, Adam Churchill and Jared Spool dig into those highlights, in particular, whether designers already possess the skills that project managers have.

Digital project management has been a part of the web from the beginning, even if we didn't call it that when we started. As the digital services industry matured, we loosely formalized the role of a digital project manager. But the gaps and differences from one shop to another has led to some confusion. Especially with the recent trend of the account managers being brought on at digital agencies. And now, a tangled web of AM, PM and DPM has us all a little confused as to who should do what. Listen in as Brett Harned shares why we should focus on clarifying the role and not the title. And more specifically, the human beings we task with the responsibilities.
This week on the Boagworld show we are joined by Brett Harned, Sam Barnes and Holly Davis to talk Agile. This weeks show is sponsored by Fullstory and Freshbooks.

Imagine having an idea that leads to the birth of a community. That's exactly what Brett Harned did. As a Digital Project Manager, he knew the importance of the role and that nobody was talking about it.

Not only did they show up, they left inspired and started local meetups all over the world.
