How to tackle big and unusual jobs without being a project manager
About the Book
Imagine your boss comes to you and says: “i've got an opportunity for you to step up and make a name for yourself! the <major event> is coming up on <date> and I want you to manage this event for us. I know you don’t have prior experience as a Project Manager but you are a good operator and I have every trust in you. Just tell me what you need.”
What do you do?
One option is to go down to the bookshop, or to Amazon.com, and pick up a few books on project management; or perhaps go online and see what courses or materials you can pick up there
Another option is to go it alone and just jump in and do the task, figuring it out as you go. But how will you know what do?
A third option would be to find a project manager who could advise you and mentor you – but when you’ve spoken such people in the past they speak in such specialised and complicated ways.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a book that speaks to you in simple terms and that guides you to do the right things in a way that you understand?
This book is made just for you: to give you a start on your first big project, but without loading you up on a whole new language and / or a whole bunch of new complexity.
I've distilled the idea of project management down to a few simple principles that you can remember easily or count on the fingers of one hand - literally, because there are 5 principles, one for each finger and your thumb.
This book won't tell you what to do, but it will help you pick the best of your skills and other peoples in order to work out what's important to do and what you can ignore.
