𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀❗ We had a bit of fun with things that didn’t go as expected. In any project, surprises happen. Despite careful planning, unexpected challenges arise, disrupting plans. 📆 When coordination fails to align in a project, it often results in the inefficient use of resources. Without proper coordination, tasks may be duplicated, efforts may be misdirected, and timelines may be disrupted. This lack of alignment leads to delays and increases the consumption of unnecessary resources. Project management tip of the day: To avoid inefficiencies its important to establish clear communication channels, define roles and responsibilities and regularly assess and realign project objectives to ensure good use of resources.

As a Quality Assurance Engineer with Fluor, I enjoy the dynamic and collaborative environment. The opportunity to work with a diverse and talented team allows me to continually learn and grow. I relish the hands-on experience with advanced construction techniques and technologies, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of quality. The supportive workplace culture and the emphasis on continuous improvement make each day both challenging and rewarding. Whether it's conducting rigorous quality tests or coordinating with different departments, the sense of accomplishment in delivering top-notch results is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, working with Bridging North America (BNA) has been an exciting and enriching experience. The scale and complexity of the projects undertaken by BNA provide an excellent platform to apply and hone my skills. The collaborative atmosphere and the shared commitment to excellence foster a motivating and energetic workplace. Being part of such impactful infrastructure projects, and witnessing the tangible outcomes of our collective efforts, is both inspiring and gratifying. #QualityAssurance #Fluor #BridgingNorthAmerica #ConstructionExcellence #Teamwork #ContinuousImprovement #EngineeringLife #InfrastructureProjects #ProfessionalGrowth #QualityEngineering #WorkplaceCulture #ConstructionInnovation #EngineeringSuccess

Famous Last Words ❗ We had a bit of fun with Project managers being too optimistic planning when being understaffed While optimism fuels our spirits, being understaffed poses its challenges. We need to be careful and acknowledge the strain it may place on the ressources and deadlines. While optimism could be our greatest ally it must also walk hand in hand with reality. Project management tip of the day ⭐: When planning make sure to define roles clearly, set realistic deadlines, communicate effectively and promote healthy work-life balance.

I received one of the most useful pieces of career advice from my supervisor during my time as a Project Manager in an oil company in western Siberia. He said to me: "You can't memorize and know everything. That's why you have to communicate, listen, and hear." At that time, I was leading a project studying hydraulic fracturing technologies and supervising several wells in a couple of oilfields. It wasn't a very large volume, but I had to monitor the work and coordinate the process constantly. There were always a few "surprises" or tasks that came up. Also, I didn't have much experience. So I communicated. I asked questions, learned, and showed interest. I listened to people in neighboring subdivisions, contractors, mentors, and management. I accumulated knowledge, organized it, and built a coherent picture of the world in a particular subject area. You can have five MSc or PhD degrees and 50 years of experience, but you'll never be able to take everything from the top of your head. It’s obvious. For example, there might be a problem with a certain field, well, or project. Of course, you can read tons of reports, study, find information in the literature or on the Internet, and waste a lot of time. And in the end, you'll find something, but it might take too long — unacceptably long. Or you can ask various people in subsidiaries and listen carefully to what they say. Understand what the problem might be within a few hours, and apply your experience to new circumstances. You can never get as much relevant information from any document or report as quickly as by talking directly to an expert. After that, I moved to the corporate headquarters, where I worked on estimating the reserves. I was now managing over 800 fields in different countries. Several thousand reservoirs had to be analyzed and reevaluated every year. A gigantic and constantly growing amount of information. No one can hold such a large amount of information in their head. Of course, we had databases, big data, various forms, and reports. However dry databases cannot provide the high-level insights or operational status updates that can radically change the approaches to evaluate a particular reservoir. Therefore, soft skills for interacting with specialists in the field became a crucial competence and an indispensable requirement for me as a Project Manager for this job. In other words: "to communicate, listen and hear".

Famous Last Words ❗ Today we had a bit of fun with when a team might need to be extra productive. When working on projects, everybody is usually busy, even with fully manned teams. Now imagine if your team is cut in half. Not a pretty thought, is it? In projects inflicted with understaffing several negative consequences can arise. These include increased stress from handling too much work and decreased productivity due to simply not being able to get the work done. Project management tip of the day ⭐: Unless you want your teams to grow additional arms in order to keep up with the tasks at hand (like the guy in this comic), remember to staff your teams properly! 🦑 If you heard some famous last words from working with complex projects; comment below and we will use them in future FLW posts.

𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆❗ We had a bit of fun with what the Project Managers might say, before things go wrong. In hectic project environments, the pressure to meet deadlines can lead to quick and spontaneous decisions. Under time constraint, there can be a tendency to skim completed work and underestimate some of the potential risks, which later on could cause issues for the project. Decisions made with a mindful approach lead the way for a smoother project execution, minimizing delays and quality concerns on the long run. Project management tip of the day ⭐: Remember to maintain a clear focus and strategic mindset, even when you are under pressure.
