project manager should consider for 2017:

Stop using emails. Switch to a project

management software

So, instead of spending time on emails, switch to project

management software in the coming year and make your work

life simpler and better than ever.

Delegate tasks efficiently

Efficient delegation is important as it is required to get tasks

completed on time. Make your team effective &

productive in the coming year by assigning right tasks to the

right team member.

Track time and resources

As a manager, it becomes your responsibility to check how the team is making progress and how it affects the business.

You can use online time tracking tool in the coming

year for tracking and monitoring the performance of your

team.

Better collaboration

It is important that the project managers collaborate with their

team members. This new year, build a habit of

communicating with your team members regularly, so that you can

manage your projects & team members more effectively.

Learn new skills

You are never too old to learn something new. And, learning a

new skill not always means upgrading your education.

Begin this new year by learning a new skill. And, don’t stop at just one skill. Keep learning, keep

growing!

Build your identity

It feels great when someone recognizes you out in the crowd

for your achievements.This new year, let people know why you are unique and show

them what you’ve got!

Keep your mouth closed and let

your eyes listen

Office gossip kills time, gets your mind to wander and makes

you think the things that you should not.

This new year, apply a rule to talk less and listen more!

Share to care

As a manager it is your duty to create a work environment where no one feels hesitant to

share their thoughts. This new year, create a big step

by developing better work relationships.

Reward yourself for achieving targets, even

small ones

Don’t forget to reward yourself for achieving small targets. Rewards encourage us to work

harder.This new year, take a moment to reward yourself for every

success, even the small ones.
