Description

If you have anything to do with project management, you must read this carefully…

As you work on projects, you will inevitably reach a crucial point in your career as a project manager. Once you exceed a certain volume and complexity of your projects, you will have to adopt two things:

1. A Methodology – Such as PMP, PRONCE2, PSM 1 etc.

2. A Project Management Tool – Such as Smartsheet, Microsoft Project

Many project managers deliberately delay the point of adoption and manage projects intuitively and manually.

The situation is further complicated because very few good project management tools are available today. Even “industry standard” tools like Microsoft Project are outdated and have limited functionality. Many project managers say in their CV that they have used Microsoft Project, while in reality, they do not have any practical skills.

I have decided to create this Smartsheet course from the ground up to give you a powerful tool that will help you manage your projects in a modern and elegant way.

The first 30% of the Lectures are FREE. You can preview the content and start learning right now. If you like what you learn, you can unlock the remaining portion of the course.
