No project management training? No problem!

In today’s workplace, employees are routinely expected to coordinate and manage projects. Yet, chances are, you aren’t formally trained in managing projects - you’re an unofficial project manager.

FranklinCovey experts Kory Kogon, Suzette Blakemore, and James Wood understand the importance of leadership in project completion and explain that people are crucial in the formula for success.

Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager offers practical, real-world insights for effective project management and guides you through the essentials of the people and project management process:

• Initiate
• Plan
• Execute
• Monitor/Control
• Close

Unofficial project managers in any arena will benefit from the accessible, engaging real-life anecdotes, memorable - "project management proverbs”, and quick reviews at the end of each chapter.

If you’re struggling to keep your projects organized, this audiobook is for you. If you manage projects without the benefit of a team, this audiobook is also for you. Change the way you think about project management - "project manager" may not be your official title or necessarily your dream job, but with the right strategies, you can excel.

I feel more confident in my ability to carry this project out now. great start

Exactly what I needed!!

Wonderfully laid out in a logical sequence. It gave me the mental framework I need to help our small company of 16 people manage projects more effectively. Stories along the way made it interesting as well. And the bonus material PDF gave me some useful stuff to hit the ground running! So good I ordered paper book as well so I can use it as a reference guide. I would highly recommend to anyone who has projects (big or small) they want to manage more effectively! Awesome job guys and thanks!!

Nice focus voice clear

worth the read

I've been driven to learn project management out of necessity. This book gave a great introduction into unofficial PM, and laid out the basic steps. I found the example stories relevant. I would like more detail on planning and setting long and short term project goals, but this was a great first step for me.

Helpful overview

This was a helpful, not too long book about the basics of project management. I feel like it rounded out what I already knew just from experience, so very much worth it to feel like I have at least some idea of what to do as an official or unofficial project manager. There are several example stories that carry on through all the chapters to illustrate the point.
Note: there are several planning sheets that are a little rough/not too useful while listening, but you do get a pdf in your files folder with all the diagrams/forms.

Informative

As a professional Construction Manager, this book was read with care. It turned out that this book was very informative. Great read. It had me learning simple approaches that seems complex.

Excellent examples and use of tools

I took a masters class of project management and it had a lot of the tools they mentioned in the class. Take notes, listen to it twice.

An excellent help in preparing to manage projects

My position involves project management skills at all points of the work. This book was tremendously helpful in cutting through the jargon to help me understand the tools that are most relevant and useful to me. I have recommended this to all my colleagues.

Practical Project Management book

With day to day attention grabbing situations this books gets very close to reality and gives extremely practical guidance on how to be a better Project Manager.

Excellent starting point

Loved the practical tools and the way they qere connected by stories that actually had an added value for learning
