Project management is a discipline, and as such can be quite difficult without the proper training. Some project managers have had formal training (for example PMI’s PMBOK or PRINCE2) and some lucky project managers instinctively know how to initiate, manage and close projects to success.

Many project managers however, are thrown into the deep end with little or no training.

BrightWork believes they can assist project managers with this step-by-step, how-to guide. Our Collaborative Project Management Guide is simple and easy to follow, and describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project.

The EBook:

BrightWork has authored an easy to follow and simple to use eBook for Project Managers who are not yet formally trained in Collaborative Project Management or who may not have the time or budget to get trained.

The eBook describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project. The eBook also has a section on Project Management Leadership style.

Note, whilst experienced project managers may find the eBook to be introductory in nature, they may learn something from it and might find it an especially useful starting point for creating internal training for their new project managers.

Online Course – Slides file From – Seattle Scrum Gathering
Presented by: Mountain Goat Software (REP # 3102)

One of the challenges of agile is coming to grips with the role of leaders and managers of self-organizing teams. Many go to the extreme of refusing to exert any influence on their teams at all. Others retain too much of a command-and-control style.

Leading a self-organizing team can be a fine line.

In this session you will learn the proper ways to influence the path taken by a team to solving the problems given to it. You will learn how to become comfortable in this role. You’ll understand why influencing a self-organizing team is neither sneaky nor inappropriate but is necessary.

Presenter: Mike Cohn (LinkedIn profile) is the founder of Mountain Goat Software, where he teaches and coaches on Scrum and agile development. He is the author of Succeeding with Agile: Software Development Using Scrum, also Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development.
