Three Questions that Separate a Good PM from a Great One
I just finished a round of interviews for a project manager position. I asked the classic questions about planning budgets and releases, dealing with underperforming team members, etc. and got back the classic responses. But I asked three questions I found separated the PMs who coasted through their careers from the ones who were in the trenches with their teams:
- How do you identify the warning signs of project failure?
- How do you identify risks?
- How often do you talk to your team?
