PROJECTS ARE EVERYWHERE!!

It would be useful for anyone to learn the basics of project management to allow them to:

– Understand what is going on in a project

– Influence a project

– Become part of one

– Sound knowledgeable and get respected in the corporate world. “Yes I know what you’re saying”

– Maybe start a Project Manager career. (This course is not sufficient, if you know you want to become a PM now, check out my other course)

My bio:

My name is Ben, I have been a Project Manager for more than 20 years working for amongst others IBM, HP, large Financial companies and also Government agencies. I have also been coaching Project Managers for more than 10 years.

I have all the most respected Project Management certifications (PMP, Prince2, MSP, Agile Project Management) – and you know when I was doing those courses – I did not really enjoy them because when I did them I was already a PM and what I was hearing was not usable and so remote from what happens out in the field… and I thought I can do better maybe – to bring this knowledge to people interested in Project Management.
