LinkedIn is a community that allows unparalleled access to each other for learning, inspiration, and help. I am continually inspired by those of us who regularly engage here. I learn on a daily basis, which makes me want to give back even more. And I know many of you feel the same way.
Help a Project Manager Out! (#HAPMO) is a pro bono initiative designed to help everyone who has an interest or passion for delivering projects. It doesn't matter what your title or industry is. It doesn't matter if you are currently leading projects or hope to do so someday.
There's a community of professionals here who want to help.
Here's How It Works
Twice a month I post an article that looks very similar to this. Typically it is mid-month and start of a new month.

This has been a year of significant learning for me. Between guests on the People and Projects Podcast and interactions with mentors and clients, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the first half of the year and can’t wait for the second half!

As you look back at the first half of the year:

5 年#HAPMO Project Staffing. As a new PM in a new project one of the first things to consider is how many people resources are you going to need to complete the project on time and within budget. The linear approach to eliminate confusion is to determine the total project effort and the project duration (staffing = Effort / Duration). With this, the number of people needed equal to the total project effort divided by project duration. An example is a project that might take 10 months (duration) and 15,000 hours (effort). In this case the number of people required = (15,000 hrs / (168 billable hrs/mo))/ 10 months = 8.9 people.

5 年I like the work that Andy Kaufman is doing with #HAPMO creating a community of Shared Interest for all potentials. This is making a difference (coaching, mentoring, etc...) one PM at a time. Another group that makes tremendous difference for is https://www.dhirubhai.net/groups/2864279/ . As an Independent consultant, members of this group have contributed immensely to my growth.
