A quick introduction about myself. Five years ago, I’ve made a big decision to move to Thailand from Vietnam, my home country. I had the chance to meet and work with Simon, CEO, and Co-founder of Simya, and Khwan, Co-founder of Simya, with the very first app that we made at Simya: Simply Learn Languages App. This is the first time I work in the IT field and it was a bumpy road at first. But till now, after many years of learning and working as a Project Manager for multiple projects at Simya, I’ve learned a lot about Project Management and I would like to share with you what I’ve learned and been practicing regularly here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you’re a Project manager, you probably have experienced running multiple projects at the same time at some points in your career, and it’s the same for me. I started with one project at a time, then came the opportunities, and we started to run multiple projects simultaneously. I’m often asked, “How do you manage multiple projects at the same time?”. To be honest, there’re so many answers to that question and there are so many things that can go wrong easily and fast while doing it. But there are some practices that I found that worked well for me throughout the time and here they are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Planning is important<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You can not start a project without planning, this is a very important step that needs to be done and carefully reviewed and approved by your CEO.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Create a detailed roadmap for each project (If you run a dedicated team for each project), it can be weekly or monthly.<\/li>\r\n
Be crystal clear about what to do, and have a rough plan for how you will achieve it.<\/li>\r\n
Each one of your team members should know this plan by heart to make sure everyone is on the same task list page.<\/li>\r\n
And don’t forget to create a schedule to track these milestones.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We have OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) meeting every quarter at Simya. We first define our company goals to achieve for the next 3 months, then each team will define their own goals with the roadmap to finish these goals based on the company goals. By doing this, everyone agrees on what needs to be done and commits to finishing. The goals should be realistic and doable, using statistics to analyze and define.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
