Getting Things Done When You’re Not the Project Manager

Practical project management for people who need to clarify requests, estimate work, manage risks and changes, and keep decisions moving — without having Project Manager as their formal job title.

Many projects do not begin with a charter, a formal kickoff, or a dedicated project manager. They begin with a request: investigate a problem, improve a process, coordinate a change, prepare a plan, or deliver something by a certain date. This course gives you a small set of practical habits for turning that kind of responsibility into clearer, more controllable work.
