A Day in the Life:
Having responsibilities on multiple projects, you will never be doing the same thing for two days in a row!

Focusing your day by asking yourself these pivotal questions:
What part of the project was finished?
What are the next steps to be completed to meet the project goals?
What are the challenges of the project that the team needs to solve?
Your day is enabled by project management tools, such as Project Gantt charts, Status reports, Microsoft Azure Dev ops, Microsoft teams, Project portfolio management tools, process maps & Stage Gate checklists. Continuously learning about project management methodology and approaches, including Waterfall, Kanban, and Scrum.
