Publisher's summary

The guidelines and ideas in this audiobook are a result of my extensive project management experience. I have successfully managed, implemented, and delivered countless projects, including complex global infrastructure-based projects. As a project manager, I have overseen new and modification projects utilizing on-shore and offshore resources and third parties. Thanks to over 25 years of project management experience, I have extensive knowledge covering the entire life cycle of a project, including initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing projects delivering business value.

I began my project management career as a team leader progressing to project manager. I have managed small and large scale projects with multi-million-pound transition budgets. I will confidently guide you through the fundamentals of successful project management. I have full project management qualifications from both The Project Management Institute and a Prince2.

My 25-years of project management experience covers complex projects for both private and public sector clients. I am proud to be known as a project manager with a solid pedigree to match. The best compliment I have received regarding my ability to share my knowledge is that I give common sense ideas and concepts culled from my ‘down-to-earth' experience befitting my decades of project management practice. I am proud to say that I have been at the coalface of project management, and now I want to impart my wealth of knowledge to you, the listener of this audiobook, looking to seek useful and practical help in the realm of project management.

This is a great guide for new project managers, ready to begin their career!

Enjoyed this listen

Best Boot camp, very informative and actually enjoyable. As someone with no project management experience. The author's case studies and examples are very useful.

Best!

I think the best thing about the book is the ideas that I could instigate immediately to move my projects along quickly. That said, the content is thin for someone who is actually higher up in their career in project management. It does still have some good ideas

Very informative audible

Information about risk management as an important part of project monitoring and control – this was a very significant part of a book for me. It prepared me for the expected potential risks, but also for the steps I should take when something unexpected happens. This book is MUST HAVE for every person in the PM arena.

Provides helpful advice

It is a fully down to earth guide for managing projects of all sizes and complexities – all practical advice, no fluff – the goldmine for newly qualified project managers or even those without any formal qualifications in project management.

Great stuff!

Insightful and eye opening. Learnt alot on my first round of listening to it. Now will listen to it again to take notes and apply what I have learnt before I listen several times more to ensure the repetition enables me to master the art of project management. I salute.

Full of useful ideas

1. I’m sure all project managers could benefit from the years of Iain’s experience in the project management field. His can do attitude and day to day knowledge of… the best way to tackle certain tasks is invaluable for me and I’m sure many others.
