This e-book is a gentle introduction to project management, including "nuts & bolts" planning tools, inspirational team Challenges, and suggested "best practices" to help project managers maintain their energy, focus on priorities, and manage their own time.

My purpose here is to cut through the jungle of broad PM theory and sometimes-arcane PM practices and help you acquire â€œjust enoughâ€ PM discipline to get good results in your projects â€“ without heaping on a bunch of burdensome PM stuff that can bury your projects in administrivia and smother the joy out of them.â€

Main sections include:

* Quick Start Checklist: The Absolute Least You Can Do!
(Your single-page PM guide. Maybe all the PM you need!)

-- Overview â€“ An introduction to whatâ€™s going on in the Step.
-- Results â€“ The end product of the Step.
-- Process â€“ The specific actions to take to complete the Step.
