Project Management Beginners Course
PM QuickStart
Discover the first steps in Project Management, and develop your understanding of planning, execution and leading the project.
The Challenge
Where do you start and how do you do a good job as a Project Manager?
Congratulations! If you’re here, it means you’re already working on projects, or you’re about to take your first steps on this road.
Surprisingly or not, 80-85% of those who have been promoted to project manager have been given this role because they did very well in their previous role (specialist or expert).
It could be the same for you. For most of us, that’s precisely what happened, and we’re telling you this so you know you’re not the only person asking questions like: “Is it enough?”, “Will I be successful?” “How will I manage?”, “What do others expect of me?”, “How should I work on projects?”.
It’s OK, you’ll find all the answers you need here.
