The 15 Minute Project Manager: A quick start practical guide for busy managers new to projects
What’s a 15 Minute Project Manager? This book is organised so a new project manager can find the answers they need to project management questions in 15 minutes or fewer. It explains how projects work from start to finish and illustrates how the world’s two most famous project methodologies — Waterfall (predictive) and Agile (iterative) — work in practice by walking through the steps of a project.
Marilyn Miller is a certified Project Management Institute Project Management Professional PMP®, Axelos PRINCE2® and APMG International AgilePM®. Using clear language and easy-to-read, low-jargon examples, Marilyn has chosen specific key concepts to explain the fundamentals of project management.
The demand for project skills is on the rise. The Project Management Institute have forecast ‘project-based economic activity will grow 68% from US$12 trillion in 2013 to $20.2 trillion in 2027’ and the Berkley Group champion the project economy as being key to the future of work. The Harvard Business Review agree, declaring ‘The Project Economy Has Arrived’ (Nieto-Rodriguez, A.) in their November/December 2021 issue.
This is because traditional organisational structures are no longer working as fast as they need to for many companies. Traditional business-as-usual operations were set up for business with high-volume, standardised products. Today, businesses selling increasingly specialised products and services must rapidly evolve to meet changing and ever-uncertain markets. The good news is that projects methodologies exist to support this, and the increase in projects have been labelled by some as The Project Economy. Projects deal with temporary situations and give companies quick ways to exploit opportunities, and because they create pathways to markets, it means all managers are Project Managers now. But with heavy work demands and full calendars, when do managers have time to learn how to be Project Managers too? A good place to start is with the 15 Minute Project Manager.
