Project Management in under 8 minutes

[@adrianhargreaves4269]

Training videos don't come much better than this. Concise, crystal clear, high quality content and delivery.

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks Adrian! Delighted to be of service.

[@xratedvirtue]

Oh my, that video was just under 8 minutes but it felt like 2 minutes, yet I feel I have had a full week's lesson. Top notch quality

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks TW, that's a really great comment to receive

[@juanperdomo1]

Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Weydaniel Organized Dominator (search on google)? It is a great one off guide for getting 7000 plus project management and business templates minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical results with it.

[@theChrisCroft]

@@juanperdomo1 what a tedious and pathetic advert that is. I can't imagine anything worse than 7000 templates when all you need is excel. Get stuffed.

[@saturn52]

wow. 7:43 mins well spent. If only all content could be like this. Thank's Chris!

[@ramseypietronasser]

A good tip, Chris, for avoiding plosives on the mic is to talk at 90° from the diaphragm. I've seen lots of top pros do it, including David Lynch! Great video, thanks for sharing

[@worldhappinessproject6113]

thanks - I never knew that!!

[@Chovert69]

Hi, Chris! I'm from Mexico City and I've recently discovered that I've been managing Design and Corporate Identity projects, without managing them on the whole extension. So I've lately pointed to introduce myself to the PM world in a more professional way, and nobody has explained me the path in a very suitable and comfortable way like you did on this brief and assertive tutorial. Now I realized that I actually love managing projects since I heard from you the greatness of a planning method. I wanted to share with you that you are a great communicator and an excellent teacher. Keep sharing your experience to the world. Thank you.

[@theChrisCroft]

Thanks Roberto - your kind words have made my day!

[@offshoreworld-broadenyourk4656]

@@theChrisCroft Roberto is right Chris , however is not enough to estimate this great learning and effort , many thanks mate, keep up the outstanding performance

[@bryanhiebert1]

Great video. I feel like I learned more of the "why" in these 8 minutes than in my 6 month project management course where we regurgitated terms

[@theChrisCroft]

that's great to hear - it's exactly what I'm trying to do

[@yalinguralp7712]

I have a MSc Project Management degree and I still find this necessary to keep aside. It is brief yet quite precise. Excellent explanation of the process and it definitely made it to youtube archives for later consultation when required. Good job man.

[@theChrisCroft]

+Yalin Guralp - thanks Yalin, glad you liked it!

[@jackiechan6460]

Hey great comment. I haven't watched the vid so YET (about to) but good comments from qualified people are nice.

[@theChrisCroft]

so- have you watched it now? Did it live up to the hype?? fingers crossed.... CC

[@kdaft3673]

Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Weydaniel Organized Dominator (do a google search)? It is a good one of a kind product for getting 7000 plus project management and business templates without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my work colleague finally got cool results with it.

[@theChrisCroft]

haha that is such a hilariously bad attempt at hiding an advert in a comment that I'm leaving it in, because it makes me laugh. The WOD name is so rubbish, and anyway, who wants templates, which are boring and unhelpful. All a person needs is a basic risk template and a blank ex el sheet for a Gantt chart. So your 7000 templates are fit only for the toilet.

[@AR-yj4ft]

the best presentation of PM I have found on youtube

[@KletoReese]

This is the BEST video I have watched on Project Management. Quality information delivered in such short time.

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks Kleto!

[@rb9151]

As an instructor, I would say this is an excellent summary for anyone wants to get in the field or to anyone who wants to know more about their PMs do! (Raouf Benhadj)

[@nessim.liamani]

Exactly what is needed to start understanding PM. I, once asked a PM friend to introduce me his job, and gave me in return the PMBOK (600+ pages!). Thanks Chris for this elegant way to bring us easily in the Project Management world.

[@theChrisCroft]

+Nessim - haha they always do that! What kind of a person would think that PMBoK is any help?? Glad to have helped

[@tomtom-ec6tb]

Excellent. I wanted a quick overview to apply to my own business and investment projects and this gave me a great start without going on a long week course - I've researched a few of the steps in more detail as well as some PM software and well on my way! Thanks

[@debbieporter2938]

Was great to allow my students to hear concisely everything I have spelt out over the last few months in terms of their coursework on project management and a few little nuggets to add (contingency!!). Hearing from a 'professional' (they accessed your profile online to see just how successful your are!!!) has put it into context.

[@theChrisCroft]

Excellent! (PS not sure how you define success, but that's another subject!)

[@tamubasketball]

Chris, you are the man! Thank you for making this video quick. I got all the info I needed, without having to buy a book, or watching 27 videos on the topic.

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks brains! I hope you enjoy my other stuff as well!

[@theChrisCroft]

exactly my objective - thanks!

[@bethiciaprasek9415]

It is nice to revisit your information in a more condensed manner to remind me of things I need to know as we approach the planning/project initiating time of year. Thank you.

[@ahmedalsabahi6624]

now a days i am attending a project management course. the tips i learned from this video are very useful. it helped me to understand how to organize a project and should be included in a project plan. thanks Chris, that was great

[@yurimiller3703]

Excellent! I have been working as PM for 8 years, but still find useful info here.

[@kashansajid6317]

[@ailishigwedha2788]

Most concise and brilliantly explained video. Great job Chris.

thanks Aili

[@alexb9501]

This is pure gold.

[@michaelkent2254]

Excellent overview in 8 minutes, you nail it.

[@vamsisanaka19]

one of the best tutorial on PMP , I ever viewed till date. your made it simple which i though as more complex to understand. Looking for more videos from you Chris...!

[@MrBrift]

thanks Vamsi! I agree - why does everyone else make it so complicated??

[@05AquariusNova]

I'm currently revising for an exam on PM and this video served as a fantastic summary! Thank you!

[@ididitwriter]

Chris, you're a rock star. I got my Project Certification in the states, but your review of the items are very concise and helpful. Cheers.

[@frankturley5202]

Nice short overview Chris - this is the best

[@theChrisCroft]

Frank Turley thanks Frank!

[@matthewshell]

This is the best video I've seen on this subject of Project Management.

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks Matthew!

[@flashtheoriginal]

Thanks Chris. Im an MAPM who regarded P2 as the lesser of 2 evils. I was wrong. Using the PID to kick off real planning with a network diagram to critically path a credible Gantt is the best route toward a Business Case/justification "suite" which is schedule efficient and product-lite. Very impressed with how this was all communicated. Best wishes

[@theChrisCroft]

Really nice to hear that! You clearly know what you're talking about so it's nice to get a message of support. I'm taking on the whole of Prince2 and Agile so it's a bit of a war!! But APM will always win in the end,, against these trendy fads that come and go.....

[@yogitadhavale8391]

[@nicolebriggs1114]

This is my first time watching but I plan on watching when I have more time to take notes and implement.

[@vikram2utube]

That was very helpful !! I specially like the idea of making network chart before gantt chart, brings more clarity of thought.

[@theChrisCroft]

+Vikram - yes indeed, I think yj're right, it's the post-it's and THEN the Gantt that is the key, and many people haven't realised this!

[@brandonjohnson5692]

Thank you for this. Concise and smart, makes me wonder how good of a project manager all those other windbags really are... (so much talk) - this lesson delivers.

[@theChrisCroft]

thanks Roland!

[@DougQuixote]

Chris Croft This was extremely informative and so well laid out. I am three weeks into project management as part of a Bachelor's of IT, and honestly this is so straightforward and universally applicable that one could easily stand out from a general IT crowd simply having these steps down and proving their proficiency at applying to all IT projects. I am one of the MANY professional IT personnel who have seen an entire project operate 'visually' (ie: absolutely no scheduling, simply 'this is what needs to be done and we need to have it by this date, wing it!' - and yes, I am guilty), and something like this just seems so logical and natural to me that it now seems difficult to think of planning ANYTHING without an awesome little sticky-note mud map. I will certainly be looking into your blog and training as a side course, and thank you :)

[@theChrisCroft]

David Cullinan thanks David - great to hear you like it! Why do most teachers make it so complicated???
