Welcome to Project Management: Its All Bollocks!

Where two individuals, who may know each other vaguely and may not particularly like each other, will delve into the sadly inadequate body of knowledge that currently constitutes project management. Their goal is to challenge almost everything, eliminating the unnecessary information that you don't need to learn or should already know. In doing so, they aim to leave you with only the essential parts that will help you achieve the results you desire.

This book serves as a critical examination of project management, the profession, the myths it perpetuates, its great ideas, and its ambitions, as well as the questionable aspects that didn't quite convince the authors.

The project management profession continues to evolve and mature, but there is a risk of excluding individuals who don't fit the traditional mold. There exists a mystique that suggests that only certified project managers can be effective project managers. This notion is entirely false. The skills necessary for project management are accessible to anyone, and how an individual chooses to access and apply them should be their decision. There should be no right or wrong choice.

This book is specifically designed for those individuals who will be driving the majority of change within organizations in the future, particularly those who require assistance in becoming successful project managers in the complex business world of today.

The authors offer a selection of seven innovative ideas that, when applied to a project environment, can ultimately lead to becoming a proficient project manager in this modern world of business complexity. These ideas cover various aspects of project management, including planning, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and communication.

By implementing these ideas, project managers can enhance their effectiveness, improve project outcomes, and contribute to the success of their organizations. Whether you are a seasoned project manager or someone new to the field, this book provides valuable insights and practical strategies that can help you navigate the challenges of project management and achieve your goals.
