Ten years ago, we hit “publish” on the very first episode of Manage This with one goal in mind: to build a space where project managers could learn from each other, swap real-world stories, and feel inspired in their work. What began as a small idea has grown into a global community and a decade-long journey filled with insights, discoveries, and conversations we never could have imagined.
Looking Back
As we reflect on the past ten years, we’re reminded just how much ground we’ve covered together. We’ve talked about everything from agile transformations and leadership hurdles to risk management and the deeply human side of project work. Along the way, we’ve welcomed incredible guests, including thought leaders, practitioners, innovators, and everyday project heroes, who have generously shared their wisdom and sparked ideas for countless listeners.
Thanks to listeners faithfully tuning in from around the world, Manage This has grown into a trusted companion for project managers everywhere.
What We’ve Learned
A decade of podcasting comes with its own lessons:
- Consistency matters. Showing up regularly has helped us build trust and keep meaningful conversations going.
- Project management never stops evolving. From waterfall to agile to hybrid models, and with the impact of digital transformation and AI, the profession continues to adapt and grow.
- Community is everything. Listener feedback and shared stories have shaped the direction of this podcast more than anything else.
Impact & Community
We’re incredibly proud of the impact Manage This has had over the years. Our episodes have helped professionals prepare for certifications, navigate career milestones, and pick up tools and strategies they use in their daily work. Our goal continues to be creating a place where project managers, often navigating tough, unique challenges, can feel understood and supported.
Join the Celebration
So, to celebrate ten years, we’re marking the occasion with a special anniversary episode. In Episode 240, Andy Crowe and Ren Love team up with Bill and Wendy for something completely new. The Project Manager’s Playbook: Anniversary Edition.
We break down real-world project scenarios and talk through first moves, smart strategy shifts, and those unexpected curveballs we all know too well. Expect practical advice, fresh insights, and a bit of fun as we honor a decade of project management conversations.
Thank You
Most of all, thank you for listening, sharing, writing in, and growing with us. This podcast wouldn’t exist without the incredible community behind it. So, for the next decade: Stay curious, stay inspired, and keep tuning in to Manage This!
