Topic: Just Enough PM to Rock Your Projects – Become a Project Management Minimalist

“Project management (PM) is not rocket science! And, despite what

many PM experts would like you to believe, it’s fairly easy for anyone to learn to use a few basic PM tools and processes to assure that projects are well-organized and completed on time, on budget, and with excellent results.”

@Michael Greer

In this webinar, from Project Management Minimalist Michael Greer, you will learn how to use the PM Minimalist Quick Start Guide (including a lean, one-page checklist) to plan and manage any project. Michael will examine 10 PM Minimalist Values you can use as a framework to tighten up your project management practices. Mr. Greer will also provide an overview of 10 Steps to Project Management Success, as described in his book, The Project Management Minimalist: Just Enough PM to Rock Your Projects!
.

In addition, he’ll further examine these 10 Steps to help you understand how to keep your project team focused and complete the project as quickly and easily as possible.

These Steps include:
