Hello !

I am a Project Manager with more than 20 years experience running technology projects in media and telecoms. I have managed, coached and helped many Project Managers starting out on their journey and have seen many of the challenges that they face. I was also once a junior Project Manager and I remember many of the challenges I had and how I overcame them. It would have been useful to have some short cuts available to me then to help me work through things more effectively.

As part of The Project Management Guide I have built a toolbox of methods, techniques, documents and templates through years of trial and error. The courses in the Project Management Guide enable Project Managers, at all levels, to learn the fundamentals and short cut some of the every day challenges with projects. I hope you enjoy the courses and wish you success with your projects.

Best regards

Chris Wilson
