Common challenges for project managers

During the course of a project, things change. Whether it’s a task that can’t be completed or an addition that leadership wants to include. - Budget constraints
When project scope changes, sometimes the budget needs to grow as well—but what if it can't? - Miscommunication
It’s so easy for projects to derail due to miscommunication. What is the best way to keep everyone bought in and informed? - Lack of accountability
When projects include multiple stakeholders, roles and responsibilities can get complicated.
Challenges keeping everyone on the team motivated

It can be difficult to ground conversations in data when you need to quantify project success. - Encouraging growth mindsets
Holding stakeholders accountable is one of the biggest challenges, along with getting the team to take an iterative approach to projects. - Creating a positive team culture
