Rule summary

  • Be Civil, Be Professional, and Engage in Good Faith: If you wouldn't say it to someone on your project team, it doesn't belong on this sub. This includes being nice, not discussing politics, and encouraging healthy conversations or debate. Bigots & hate speech have a 0 tolerance policy. A good rule of thumb is to follow Reddiquette.
  • Project Management Topics Only: Keep submissions and discussion limited to professional project management topics only. Mod discretion may be used to remove posts that are not deemed to be related to the topic or theme of the sub.
  • Career Advice Questions & Common Posts: Search the sub before you post a common question such as "what PM software should you use?" Career related questions may be removed by mods. They can be re-asked over at r/PMcareers. This includes, but is not limited to: - getting my first PM role - transitioning industries - salary questions - resume/interview advice - what cert should I get If your post is a commonly asked question, such as transitioning to PM, basic career questions, etc., it is likely to be removed.
  • No Self-Promotion / Advertising / Soliciting / Monetization / SPAM: The subreddit moderators can remove content they deem self-promotion, advertising, or solicitation. This policy applies to references or links to websites, blogs, videos, tools, services, surveys, calls, or social media. Violations result in a permanent ban. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact the moderators via Modmail. No Spam of any kind.
  • No Homework/Interview Answers: Your homework or interview is an assessment of your skills, not ours. There are tactful ways around this rule -- but if your post says 'my interview/homework scenario is XYZ, what would you do' it will be removed.
  • No AI-Generated Content: We expect our members to aim for a genuine experience when interacting with the community, so no AI-generated content (both posts and comments) will be allowed. Exceptions may be permitted at the Mod Team’s discretion.

Works well

  • A text-only discussion about a real project management challenge you managed, with no links and no mention of your product.
  • A question about a specific project management methodology, written in your own words and focused on learning from the community.
  • A reflection on a lesson learned from a project, shared as plain text to spark professional conversation.

Avoid

  • Do not post links to your website, blog, video, tool, service, survey, or social media.
  • Do not ask career questions like how to get your first PM role, how to transition industries, salary questions, or resume and interview advice.
  • Do not post homework or interview scenario questions.
  • Do not post AI-generated content in posts or comments.
  • Do not discuss politics or use hate speech.

What r/projectmanagement Is For

This community is a safe and open environment for the promotion of project management methodologies and free discussion about all things project management. It is for people who want to talk about professional project management topics. Career related posts are not for this community and belong over at r/PMcareers.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule that decides whether a marketing-adjacent post survives is "No Self-Promotion / Advertising / Soliciting / Monetization / SPAM". It says the moderators can remove content they deem self-promotion, advertising, or solicitation, and it applies to references or links to websites, blogs, videos, tools, services, surveys, calls, or social media. Violations result in a permanent ban. The rule named "Project Management Topics Only" also matters, because it gives moderators discretion to remove posts that are not related to professional project management. The rule named "No AI-Generated Content" matters too, because it bans AI-generated posts and comments, with exceptions only at the mod team's discretion.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine discussion about professional project management methodologies, written in your own words without any links or references to your own work. You could share an observation about a project management challenge you faced, or ask a thoughtful question about a methodology, as long as you do not link out to anything you own or benefit from. The goal is to start a conversation that helps the community, not to drive traffic somewhere else.

What To Avoid

What gets posts removed or people banned here is spelled out clearly. The rule named "No Self-Promotion / Advertising / Soliciting / Monetization / SPAM" bans references or links to websites, blogs, videos, tools, services, surveys, calls, or social media, and violations result in a permanent ban. The rule named "Career Advice Questions & Common Posts" means career related questions may be removed, including questions about getting your first PM role, transitioning industries, salary, resume and interview advice, and what cert to get. The rule named "No Homework/Interview Answers" removes posts that ask the community to solve your interview or homework scenario. The rule named "No AI-Generated Content" bans AI-generated posts and comments. The rule named "Be Civil, Be Professional, and Engage in Good Faith" removes uncivil posts, politics, and hate speech, with a zero tolerance policy for bigots and hate speech.
