Your first day as a project manager rarely looks like the textbook. You get a project, a team you did not choose, and a deadline someone already promised the client before you arrived. Nobody hands you a checklist.
Alina Piddubna and Victoria Klymenko both started from scratch. In this conversation they talk about what it was like for them at the start, what turned out to matter, where they lost time and nerves for nothing, who to talk to in the first week on a new project, and what a modern project manager needs in 2026, when AI tools are already part of everyday work.
At the end each of them gives her own advice to someone starting out, followed by questions from participants.
