It acts as a high-level communication tool to share essential information with both leadership and project teams, helping to initiate the project smoothly—especially when team members are spread across different locations.
Use the issue log to maintain a consolidated view of issues that have been encountered on the project, and their resolution. Keeping track of issues is important to make sure that they are addressed, and that significant items don’t get ignored or fall from attention.

Project cancellations are among the most challenging moments a project manager can face—both professionally and emotionally. This article explores how to lead with clarity, integrity and emotional intelligence when a project must end before its completion.
Continuity can be fragile in healthcare. A portfolio perspective does not replace clinical expertise; it reinforces the underlying architecture that makes it possible. It brings coherence to decisions, stability to operations, and a more consistent experience.
Compliance is too often treated as something to deal with later, as a final hurdle rather than a foundation. And that assumption is one of the most reliably costly mistakes a project manager can make.
After layoffs, strong project management isn’t about doing more with less. It’s about resetting expectations, creating alignment, and ensuring that every commitment has a foundation in reality. The result is a roadmap that tells the truth—and a team and organization equipped to deliver on it.
What would you do if a routine Saturday night ended in an accident on a dimly lit street, with concerned bystanders, an injured motorbike rider, and no ride-hailing service in sight? This practitioner relied on his PM skills to navigate the crisis.
