After doing somewhat of a 'covering role' - At last i have started my Project Planning career! 

And I am after some advice for my first few weeks. 

Just a couple of items on a list I can tick off, to benefit me - and of course. Should I end up working for any of you in the future :-)

Background. I am a Lvl 3 planner. Reviewing contractors programmes. Reporting upwards 

In addition, using our contruction programmes and putting them into P6 (Up to the point of once all the activities are in, I need to speak to contruction to ensure the logic is correct)

If you could go back. What would you wish you had done

 

Wk 1 - Do, read, learn x

Wk 2 - Do, read, learn y

Wk 3 - Do, read, learn z

 

Thank you

Philip
