What does it take to deliver a project successfully—on time, on budget, exceeding expectations?

Essential Gear for Project Managers

Your guide to help get you up and out of the maze and on the right path.

Whereas A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) describes 48 project management processes, Essential Gear includes only eight indispensable processes stripped down to the bare essentials necessary to deliver your project successfully. No more. No less.

Minimal Processes. Maximum Benefit.

For many project managers, finding the path to project success can be like navigating a complex maze—full of wrong turns and dead ends. This is particularly the case for new PMs, PMs who are managing projects without guidance from an established Project Management Office (PMO), or new PMOs. Essential Gear from RefineM is your guide to help get you up and out of the maze and on the right path.
