Hi, everyone!
Do you get this soo entry level feeling sometimes that you are completely LOST in your project?
I am new to web project management, and though I am a strong, organized and common sense project manager, it is so very hard to see if there is anything missing.
So, I have decided to take a seminar/class, and I needed to know how and where. I live in New York, so, please, help me....
Sorry, just a long and confusing day everyone.

Your feeling is not uncommon, especially when delivering a project in a new area (business or technological). The best advice I have is to go back to fundamentals: take the PMBOK and look again at what you should have at this moment, and compare with what you actually have. Is your Sponsor supporting you, is the Charter providing you with the adequate authority? Was the planning done “by the book” – all sections: scope, cost, quality, risk, communication etc (as applicable), not just the WBS? Is your team staffed right and is working efficiently? Are you effectively tracking progress and forecast completion? And the list can go on, but I’m not planning to repeat the PMBOK here.
One last word on perspective: try to look at it as if it was somebody else’s project and you’re performing a “lessons learned” or “post-mortem” on it. When you detach yourself emotionally from your project you should be able to see the entire forest, not just trees all around you. And you should get a sense of where you are and how to get out.
