What's been your biggest success as a Project Manager?

Emily Luijbregts Project Manager| Siemens PLM Software Breda, Netherlands

I was talking to a colleague recently and we started talking about what would we consider to be our greatest success so far as a Project Manager and it made me wonder: What is yours?

Mine is: Taking on a failing project and turning it around. I was working with an awesome team who went above and beyond to get things rectified and back on track.

So tell me? What is your greatest success as a Project Manager?

That's an impressive achievement! Was it just applying PMBOK rules or also other changes that you made?

Mostly implementing control techniques and a lot of team work... engaging project managers all the time to know their problems and work on the solutions... a lot of involvement in the actual work work "on the field": visiting locations, talking with many of the team workers. And mostly being aware of many of the company processes, meaning being involved with the procurement department, the financing department, the legal department, etc.

hi Emily - great question. Made me smile. My greatest success is inspiring and empowering teams to achieve successes beyond what they believed they were capable of.

Building a great team and delivering quality output are the two points in my success so far.
My seniors have appreciated me for these points.
Most of the time after a release, client find bugs in other modules. But me and my team have delivered good quality output and don't have any bugs reported by client.
