Another Project Management Book?

"If you’re always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelou

I wanted to share with you all another snippet from my project management exam prep book I'm writing, Crystal Clear Project Management. This is super scary...and exciting. A mentor of mine coined the phrase, scared-cited. I find it appropriate during this book writing journey. Take a read of an excerpt from my book:

My background is not in IT project management, not the fancy software development projects, nor in construction project management.

I often felt underrepresented and overlooked with some of these textbooks and guidebooks that talked endlessly about IT and construction project management when my world revolved around leading [healthcare] business process improvement projects. The current library of project management resources were hard to follow and quite frankly, downright boring to read.? This realization that my voice was missing inspired me to embark on a journey to write a book that would bridge the gap and provide a different perspective—a perspective that is long overdue.

That’s why I wrote this book.

I know, I know.? There are countless project management books, training materials, and exam preparation guides out there in these project management streets.? However, it became apparent to me that there was something missing—an authentic voice that resonated with my unique experiences and perspectives. And I imagine you feel the same way.??

Misfit project managers unite!!

This book speaks to the unique project managers like you and me, learning in a way that speaks in a common-sense, practical, break-it-down approach. By sharing my insights, experiences, and knowledge, I hope to contribute to a more comprehensive and inclusive body of project management literature.

What about you? Have you come across numerous project management books that spoke over your head and made you frustrated? And worse, the literature out there did not resonate with you or reflect the unique qualities of your non-IT, non-software development, non-construction projects? Or maybe you do work in those industries and the textbooks STILL did not give you warm, fuzzy feelings?

I get you! That's why I am writing this book.
