Project Management Essentials: Ace Your Next Project!
The "Missing" Toolkit for Truly Effective, Everyday Project Management | Project Management Basics for Everyone
Description
Are you ready to make a BIG impact at work? Your next project could be a real opportunity for you and your team to shine!
Unfortunately, too many professionals have never been given the essential toolkit needed to execute business projects successfully.
Without this powerful set of skills, many otherwise talented people are left wondering:
Why does working on this project feel painful and chaotic?
How am I going to tell my boss that we're going to blow the deadline?
What will it take to stop feeling like I'm drowning at work?
Trust me, I know what this feels like. Before I became a formal project manager of multi-million dollar projects—and later, an executive—I was what people sometimes call an "Accidental Project Manager."
An accidental project manager (also sometimes called an "occasional project manager" or "unofficial project manager") is someone who is not a formal project manager by title or training, but who is still asked to lead business projects in addition to their day-to-day work.
In those early years of leading projects, I struggled to find training and advice that was tailored to me and my situation as a non-technical project manager. It took time, experience, and a lot of trial and error to learn to consistently deliver results.
That's why I felt it was so important to put together this course...to save you time and help you get results faster.
In our time together, you'll learn the 5 essential steps to leading a project from concept to completion:
STEP 1: STRATEGIZE.
STEP 2: PLAN.
STEP 3: EXECUTE.
STEP 4: TROUBLESHOOT.
STEP 5: WRAP-UP.
For each of these steps, you'll get:
Concise, practical explanations of exactly what you need to do within each step
20+ downloadable templates, examples, and teaching guides to help you apply what you're learning
External articles, podcasts, and templates to give you even more options for your particular industry
Featured Q&A (actively updated) to address common pain points
Email coaching to bring the steps to life in practical terms
You'll also have a chance to practice along with each of these steps by either working on a live project you have or completing a case study project throughout the course.
If you're ready to ace your next project, let's get started!
