Many people believe that project management is primarily suited for IT and engineering professionals. But the reality is that project management is becoming an important skill across many disciplines, such as HR, finance, and marketing. In fact, organizations are becoming much more project-oriented as they constantly search for ways to sustain a competitive advantage.

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), employers across the globe will need about 88 million people to work in project management-oriented jobs by 2027 (Project Management Job Growth and Talent Gap Report, 2017-2027). Most of this demand will come from countries such as China, India, and Brazil. Adding to this problem will be the shortage of qualified individuals, as the world’s workforce continues to reach retirement age.

If you enjoy having influence over all aspects of a business, then project management is a skill you need. Project managers have the opportunity to assist clients by helping them break down projects into smaller and more manageable activities, including timelines and metrics to display progress. This will allow clients to focus on their core business, maintain relationships with existing clients, and innovate by testing new ideas without putting their entire business at risk.

Project Management has a wealth of information, and sometimes it can be overwhelming for those who are new to it. In this narrated book, you will get a "big picture" view of project management. You should be able to get through this book in one hour! Now, let’s start this journey into the world of project management!
