Assalamualaikum and Hi all,

This article just o give some reflection on how we understanding on project management. Sometimes we tend to avoid any problematic but in real world actually this kind of project will create a better project manager and not the worst project manager.

In reality, how we managing this kind of projects if do happen to us. If we take it negatively, we will not able to improve ourself but instead become a worst project manager.

Now we need to start to be positive in handling any difficult project. Sometimes in reality we not dealing with only the project problem but dealing with the difficult people. As project management professional, we shall adopt the processes and knowledge areas in our project and educate other people on the correct in handling project management.

Some key points in handling this kind of situation;

1. Be calm, and start to organize everything and get everyone clearly on their scope of works.

2. Explore some opportunity to meeting/discuss with team member on the way forward and how mitigate the issue.

3. Take further action pro-actively instead of waiting the solution from others. You can do any initiatives to solving the problems.

Maybe some of us, the first thing come in our mind is to run away from the project or searching any other great projects. Instead of dwelling with this problematic problem.

Hopefully all above can give you some ideas in order to make your decision.
