Great share! In my PM experience, I’ve most often dealt with scope creep, resource constraints, and stakeholder management. Each taught me the importance of clear communication and early alignment to keep projects on track.

I’ve seen most of these, but poor communication and scope creep stand out. If those two go wrong, everything else, time, risks, and conflicts quickly follow.

For me, keeping communication clear and documenting changes are the top priorities that make a huge difference.
