Most project managers don't have a formal education. Unfortunately, they need to collect bits and pieces of knowledge all over the internet. Sometimes, it feels like you need to fly an airplane while still building it. Moreover, there's a huge gap between the theory and practice of project management! You can spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on certifications, but still, you won't know what to do with all this knowledge. You won't feel confident about running a project in a real company with a real team. That's why reading Project Management Institute's PMBOK® Guide is not the best option. It's a great book, but it's an encyclopedia. You don't take one to solve practical problems. In contrast, this book teaches you a practical project management approach that works in the real world. It provides you with: A structured project management framework. It will help you manage a project from start to finish with easy-to-use templates, tools, and PM software. Step-by-step process of project planning. You can scale it up and down depending on the complexity of a project. A proven system to manage stakeholders and their expectations. Learn how to engage them in a project so that they help you rather than impede your work. My robust risk management workflow that your team and stakeholders can easily understand and follow. A sequential process of creating a realistic schedule. It's also easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions that you can implement in any project management tool. Essential tools to manage project scope and collect requirements even if you don't have business analysis experience. Case studies and examples of tools and processes that you can relate to. Supporting resources that include templates and additional materials that you can use as a starting point on your project. If you want to be a great project manager, you need to use this approach as the backbone for each new project. It is simple so that your team understands it. Moreover, it is scalable for different levels of the project's complexity. What's more important, it is NOT theory in a vacuum. As a seasoned PM with twelve years of experience, Dmytro Nizhebetskyi understands all your challenges. He's still in the trenches. That's why this book will help project managers of all levels: If you are an entry-level PM, you need to master the approach described in this book. It's all you need for the first three to five years of your career. It's much better than reading theory from the PMBOK® Guide. If you are a mid-level PM, you'll systemize your knowledge into an integrated project management approach. It will help you pass your PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP) exam and improve your skills. You'll fill all the gaps in your understanding of project management. If you are a senior-level PM, this book will serve you as a refresher. I'm also sure you'll find some golden nuggets from my twelve years of experience as a software project manager. In addition, it will give you a foundation for teaching junior-level PMs in your organization. After reading this book, you'll have a solid understanding of project management. But what's more important, every new tool, technique, or process that you'll learn going forward will have its place in the framework. Imagine that you can gain confidence that you do project management as good as other great project managers. You know all the essential processes and tools. Moreover, you have a repeatable PM framework that works in any company. Get the book now.
