Continuing on with our 4 Ps!

Zeroing in on people, the focus for this month is being a good team leader and manager.

Being the leader everyone likes 

We’re going to angle towards effective resource management, since handling resources in a way that makes a team and projects successful is easily the difference between a great leader and a not-so-great one.

Think of the difference between:

  • Employees that are given tasks they are good at vs employees that are lumped with random tasks.
  • Projects that are handed in on time and under budget vs scrambling to get things done in time and experiencing budget overrun.
  • Employees that have just the right amount of work vs employees who are either under or over-worked.

For all the details on resource planning, zone in to this highly current and relevant blog:  Resource Planning for Project Management: The 2023 Guide

Instead of using manual spreadsheets to keep on top of their finances, having limited project data and not knowing which team members to deploy to which project, Beardwood&Co now use Workamajig to:

  • Easily keep track of data
  • Get deep project insight
  • Know which team members to assign to different projects for maximum efficiency 

As Jason says, ‘Workamajig is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. It's made by people who work in the same industry, speak our language, and clearly have an understanding of what our needs are as an agency.
