Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™
How much do failed projects cost your organization?
When a project is poorly navigated and falls short of budget and timeline goals, it can cost you more than just money; it can cause irreparable damage to reputation, confidence, and client trust. The answer isn’t just dedicated project managers but equipping your entire team at every level with the skills and tools needed to manage and complete any project with confidence.
For guaranteed project-management success, we’ve combined the robust processes of the Project Management Institute with FranklinCovey’s 30+ years of experience and timeless principles to enable every employee at every level to complete every type of project with consistent success.

Course Details
People + Process = Success
Successful project management isn’t just about strategy and managing logistics. It’s about getting people to work together and volunteer their best efforts, especially when they don’t work directly for you. Real project success combines proven project-management skills with proven people-management skills to achieve consistent results.
Participants of this course discover a simple framework for strategy and an understanding of how to implement the Four Foundational Behaviours that inspire team members to execute with excellence.
Project-Management Framework
The Project-Management Framework guides you through five distinct elements in the life of any project. Coupled with the foundational behaviours taught in the course, this framework can help you deliver highly successful projects again and again.
Initiate, Plan, Execute, Monitor and Control, and Close
Initiate projects by identifying a project’s stakeholders, clarifying expectations, and establishing clear and measurable project outcomes. The result is a project that has been realistically scoped with precision.
Plan projects by identifying and managing project risks to create a realistic and well-defined project schedule. The result is a comprehensive roadmap for project success.
Execute projects by developing a cadence of accountability and providing honest, motivating feedback through regular team-accountability sessions. The result is team members that stay engaged and meet expectations through visibility of commitments and actions around the project plan.
Monitor and control the entire process through regular status reports to stakeholders and managing unexpected scope change. The result is projects that are completed on time and within budget.
Close a project to reinforce and celebrate both the process and the result of working together on a successful project. The result is team members that are energized about participating in future projects.
The Outcome
Less stress, more teamwork, and consistent results.
When team members are personally invested in seeing projects completed, energized about working together as a team, and equally qualified to take charge of any project, you’ll experience a consistent pattern of project success.
