Description

Power Start in Project Management is the place where I centralise the introductory portion of my (project management) material in an organised and structured way. I constantly add lectures and engage with my audience.

Everybody has access to the same books, but not everybody has access to the same teachers. You cannot become a project manager by reading a book or obtaining a certificate.

There is a massive challenge in the industry today.

People that work on projects are busy and do not have the time to teach. People who teach project management usually are full-time teachers and have stopped working on projects years ago.

On top of that, most of the books and courses on project management are heavily biased towards specific methodologies such as PMP or PRINCE 2 or focused on preparation for a certification exam.

In real life, you do not get scores for compliance with a specific methodology. In real life, you get scores for successful project delivery.

Project management is an extremely well-paid job with relatively low barriers to entry. The demand and salaries will skyrocket in the coming years due to the increasing amount of change in the business, and you can be at the forefront of those changes.

As of today, the Academy covers:

  • Definitions of project management according to the leading project institutions (PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA, ISO, Scrum)
  • Putting project management into an organisational context (Operations vs. Projects)
  • Exploring the profile of the perfect project manager and strategies how to achieve this

Take advantage of the low introductory price and secure a lifetime seat in my course. This course will be the best investment (3 cups of latte at Starbucks) in your career as a project manager.

See you in class!
