1 Introduction
As a middle-level project manager assessed by the company and a former excellent project manager, sometimes I feel confused and have done similar projects one after another, lacking a sense of accomplishment and self-improvement. At the end of 2016, I let myself calm down. Looking back on the past two years, I can't help but feel that I have done a lot of projects, but not many are impressive; there are also scattered gains, but they are not systematic enough. In a word, growth has slowed down.
Take the opportunity to participate in the company's project manager conference, let yourself return to zero and start again.
2 Self-analysis
There are many internal positions in large companies, and the business department mainly has three lines of research and development, projects, and sales. Everyone entering the workplace is a long-distance race of more than 30 years. Which track to choose, we all hope to make choices and decisions that are beneficial to ourselves, gain exercise and experience, and get recognition and material rewards from customers and leaders.
At a certain time point, stop to review and sort out, deduce personal career development goals and paths from life vision and goals, and conduct SWOT analysis on departments, companies and yourself to find the right position.
3 Self-positioning
After having a clearer understanding of yourself, you can position yourself and plan your path based on the project manager's requirements, type, and promotion path.
At the conference, Mr. Ou mentioned the type of project manager, which gave me great inspiration and touch.
Project Manager Type:
l Sales type: Personal charm, strong affinity, good at dealing with people
l Technical type: transfer from developer to project management, good at technology
l Balanced type: technology and management are more balanced
You need to plan according to your own situation, and cooperate with technology, business, and leaders to complete the project.
