A Dark DAO Room: Illuminating the Role of Web3 Project Managers
DALL-E "Black and white digital art of a person flipping random light switches in a dark room and random lights around the room turning on."A Web3 PM TestWhat if I told you that working in a DAO and being a Web3 Project Manager is like standing in the middle of a dark room? Like, I’m talking the kind of pitch black where you cannot even see your hand in front of your face. Would you choose to continue? What if I told you that the room has pillars and obstacles you might walk into, doors that ...

DAO Confrontation and Conflict Reflection - Week 5
My First DAO Conflict ManagementDALL-E "A cyberpunk poster of two keyboards in conflict over writing the constitution."Conflict management is an essential skill in any workplace, and it’s one I normally feel very comfortable with, but only because I’ve spent years learning that skill (and making lots of mistakes along the way).

A Governance Masterclass - Week 4
The best and sometimes hardest part about working in a DAO is you are living inside and actively participating in an ever-evolving Masterclass. You never know what module will present itself at what time, and you need to buckle up for the ride and start learning that skill.

The whole week led to this post in our PM Guild Governance channel.Case Study - Active Members ...

Starting the Project Management Guild Education and Talent Flywheel - Week 3
DAO Contributor InterviewThis week’s entry came from an interview I was part of with a group of graduate students from Western Kentucky who are putting together a survey for BanklessDAO on DAO compensation.

It’s always interesting when you talk about DAOs because so much of working in a DAO for me is drive...
