I am a believer in the power of project management.
As a professional project manager for twenty years, I have witnessed project success drive business results. I have also proven that project management can change lives and help achieve personal transformation. Now I am sharing some practical tips and techniques that you can use to help achieve your own personal goals, live your best life and become a PM Believer.
Overwhelmed By Your Goal? Try This Simple Agile Tool.
The first two months of 2022 are nearly done. Have you achieved your “new year, new you” resolutions yet? Probably not. The sad reality is nearly all of those new years resolutions failed by February 15 and are now over.
More importantly, did you even start pursuing your goal yet? Are you stopped in your tracks and don’t know how to get started? You are not alone. A large number of people never even get started with their goals. While there are many reasons for this, the most common can be summarized in a single phrase.
They are overwhelmed!
That’s right, many people set goals but get stuck trying to figure out where to start. They struggle because they see this big goal in front of them, and it seems so daunting because they are looking at the big picture. But, why?
Overwhelm is usually a sign that you are trying to tackle too much at once. Pick your favorite saying: they are biting off more than they can chew, they are trying to boil the ocean, their eyes are bigger than their tummy. Unfortunately, this attempt to do too much at once usually results in accomplishing nothing!
How do you get past feeling overwhelmed and make progress with your goals? It is time to borrow a technique for the Agile world and figure out your minimum viable product (MVP). It is literally the least you can do.
Read more about what MVP means and how to apply it to your goals in this classic PM Believer from last February.
Not sure how to figure out what to include and exclude from the MVP version of your goal? Let’s talk!
