Book Description

How You Can Maximize Project Management With the Same Methodology Used by Microsoft Many companies try to save money and underestimate the importance of project management. You know better than anyone else that project management is more than just quickly briefing your team during work. Even startups with small budgets invest in a project manager (PM) because it ́s no longer a secret that a skilled project manager can save companies 28 times more money since their output is more reliable. No wonder that according to Wrike, 80% of high-performing projects are led by a certified project manager. Yet, not every project manager is equally good. Elite companies such as Apple, Uber, and Facebook are willing to pay a sky-high salary for experienced project managers because they know going first-class is always cheaper. No one trusts a low price offered by a project wannabe. Successful project management goes far beyond choosing the right methodology to create a "big bang" when you launch your project. You need to connect with your team and create a unique work environment where mindset and core values play an important role. But in a fast-paced world where most things are done electronically, we often forget how professional and human interaction actually works. There is a reason why Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg chose managers who own the key to methodology, core values, AND mindset. And what if I told you that there is a project management tool out there that allows you to hold this key sooner than you think? This is only a small fragment of what you ́ll discover in Agile Project Management Why Fortune 500 Companies such as Microsoft, IBM and Cisco use an Agile approach to process improvement A framework for better teamwork that is so simple and yet so effective that even the American Rugby team stole it to improve their success A bulletproof blueprint to ensure you don't miss anything while setting up and running your project How to manipulate time with the latest management techniques to get the most out of every minute of your day The unbeatable set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in harmony to help teams structure and manage their work Why 70% of software developers use "scrum" to never get lost in the complexity of their work and how you can use this tool too How to instantly apply your agile knowledge even if you have never worked with project methodologies before How to make Agile suitable for any type of business size The latest trends of 2020 on Agile project management to update your existing methodology Why you are leaving money on the table if you are still following traditional project management And much more. A lot of project managers are resistant to Agile project management because it doesn't offer the same structure that traditional project management does. It took them years to get to the current level they're at and they feel too comfortable to change. Yet, choosing out of comfort is self-sabotaging behavior. After discovering the efficiency that Agile methodology will bring to your projects, you ́ll agree that transition is inevitable. There is no way you ́ll ever be able to react as quickly to change with a traditional approach as you can with Agile. This will not only improve client satisfaction, but it will also save you time and money.
