Project Manager!? A new hat? No, just a redefining of some of the tasks you already do. Users and managers ask you to do things all day long. As soon as they get a far away look in their eyes and start with...If only we could...put that Project Manager (PM) hat back on and listen.
How do I gather requirements? Just what all do they think they want? What will they use it for? Who needs it?
Who is the boss of this project? Who cares the most? Who has the most authority?
How do I keep track of all of this and not need to buy more post-its.
Why, when, how are we doing this? Listen, listen, listen then question, question, question.
Is this a new role? More work? No, much of this you do, or should, when someone asks you to do things that seem like a project or take longer than 15 minutes to accomplish. The Project Manager in you will keep good notes, document, collaborate and learn to occasionaly say - No!
You, learn to be the Project Manager. It's just giving a title to a key function you should embrace!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Where to start!?! I've been in the Salesforce ecosystem since 2008. I'm working my way towards the golden ticket, Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA). I currently hold three certifications, Salesforce Admin, Salesforce Advance Admin, and Platform App Builder.
My passion resides in mentoring and teaching Salesforce whether it community members or the users with my current company. I currently co-lead the Austin Salesforce Women in Tech with Stephanie Herrera and I'm a coach with the Merivis Foundation, a program that supports military veterans. I've led a 15-week admin certification course.
During my journey, I've learned how to close the gap between the end user to the Salesforce Technology team to the C-Suite. When building a solution, it should always be scalable even if it is more difficult to build. Following best practices should always be the way, however, sometimes a solution will need to be outside the box.
