A Developer Advocate with a deep passion for people and community building. My journey ignited during my university years as a Lead organiser for the Google Developers Club, where I proudly represented India at a flagship Google WoW conference 🌏. Over the years, I've been deeply involved in building and scaling impactful community programs, connecting with over 100k learners both within India and across borders. My experience extends significantly into the Web3 space, where I've built community programs and marketing strategies from the ground up. This involved acquiring 50k+ users for ecosystems and Web3 products, scaling 10+ global Ambassador Programs to 5000+ members, and organizing 30+ high-quality tech events with names like Google, Socrates, HiveChain, CoreDao, Chainlink, and BeraChain, engaging 5000+ developers in 10 months. My passion for fostering growth has also led to the curation of renowned Developer Camps and conferences, with two of them even trending on Twitter (now X) Currently, I lead the marketing and community efforts for Socrates, where we focus on sparking creativity, driving mass adoption in the crypto ecosystem, and making Web3 accessible to all.

I will be sharing my ideas and knowledge that I have gleaned from YouTube, Coursera, and most importantly, from networking with people who are in the same profession, in this first part of series on how to become a project manager with Shivam. 🙌Being a BTech student makes it challenging to get hired by MAANG corporations or major startups because they all prefer BBA or MBA grads for such PM's positions.

But this is not where the narrative ends. We will complete our tasks and let fate handle the rest. I'll be discussing every detail of project management, starting from the very beginning, in the next posts.

Here's a quick rundown of the topics I'll be covering in this blog series.

We'll start with an important question. What exactly is project management? ; goals, objectives, and deliverables; risk management; team dynamics; project management methodologies; data-driven decision making; and more. we'll learn how to manage budgets and meet the needs of the people involved in the project, further we will be learning different project methodologies like Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall.

In Addition to that , I'll be also explaining how to use tools like Kanban and software like Asana. Throughout the series, we will be honing our soft skills, some of which most of us already have. Moreover, we'll talk about various case studies where we'll apply Project Management in the Real World. In these studies, we'll use all the knowledge, abilities, and understanding we've acquired during this series to tackle a challenging project.

Ready to get started?🤔

Don't worry, even if you aren't quite sure how to tap into them yet, we'll explore which skills are transferable to a project management role. Stay Tuned. 🤞I'll be publishing another blog soon that covers all the foundations of project management.
