"What if you could boost your management knowledge and skills so that you become a professional IT project manager capable of leading any team with confidence, efficiently managing project risks, and keeping stakeholders engaged?"
But there's a problem!
Most project managers don't have formal education. So, they learn by reading books and searching articles and videos from other PMs.
It feels like you collect bits and pieces of a puzzle. You must be wondering whether other managers have figured it out already... or is it just you?
On the one hand, I believe you shouldn't have to play trial and error while leading people. But likewise, I understand how frustrating and stressful it is to search for solutions on the internet when people look for your guidance.
I get it because I'm a project manager as well. Moreover, I have taught hundreds of PMs just like you.
What you need is a complete project management approach that comes from practical experience (not from theory). It's an approach tested in the real world by real people.
You'll stop leading projects through trial and error with this approach. Instead, you'll comprehend all aspects of project management and how they work together as a whole.
Now, let me elaborate on how this approach can help you.
How to Master Project Management and Become a Successful IT Project Manager?
How many times have you Googled something like "risk management" or "scope management example"? Or what about things like:
- How to create WBS, schedule, and budget?
- Best project management tools.
- How to lead a team so that delegated tasks get done well and on time?
- How to track multiple projects and sub-tasks at once
- Project budgeting.
- How to work with scope creep.
Moreover, how does it work in the IT industry? Yet the search either pulls up a million ads for various certifications or else shows you scattered bits and pieces of the project management. Both of which really leaves you wondering how to put it all together.
I think you'll agree with me when I say…
In the end, it feels like you know the theory, but your confidence falls apart when it gets to practice.
In fact, it adds more doubts because you aren't sure if you need a PMP certification, Scrum Master certificate, ITIL, Six Sigma Green (or is it Black?) Belt, SAFe Scrum Master, a master's degree in management, or all of the above!
What will help you feel like your management is not holding on duct tape?
7 Things I Wish Someone Told Me About Being a Project Manager in the IT Industry
- Scrum is everything you need to know. Wrong! Companies and stakeholders are not ready to be agile yet. They still need a Gantt Chart.
- Everyone speaks about being a leader, but no one can explain how to do it on a daily basis.
- Each project has difficult personalities, and you can't simply fire them. How to deal with difficult people on an IT project is a separate skill set.
- Your boss wants you to manage stakeholders. (But you only have the authority of a Scrum Master).
- Scope Management is the most critical knowledge domain, but your leadership cares only about deadlines.
- You must know how to manage project risks that are beyond your development team.
- Project Management in the IT industry is a unique mix of frameworks and tools (None of the certifications prepares you for the real-world responsibilities of a PM).
Now, I can almost hear you thinking…
Wait! Isn't PMI's PMP certification a golden standard of project management? It teaches everything you need to know to be a Project Manager.
No. Let me explain it.
Do I Even Need a PMP Certificate in the IT Industry?
Did you know that you need to maintain your PMP certification in 3-year cycles?
Here's what Project Management Institute doesn't publish:
There's severe attrition of project managers after the first cycle. It means that they don't maintain their certification and let it expire.
Why?
Because they got the certification for one purpose only - to get a promotion.
It doesn't explain to you how to lead a team, how to communicate with difficult stakeholders, or even how to implement risk management in real life.
You can apply less than 10% of all that knowledge in IT project management. And still, you need to find a creative way to fit it into the delivery process.
I agree. You should get a PMP certification once you have 3-5 years of real project management experience AND a proven track record of successful projects–it may give you a salary boost.
For now, you need to focus on boosting your understanding of:
- How project management works as a whole.
- Practical steps to be a leader.
- How to manage ALL project stakeholders.
- How to manage project risks.
Yes, you lead a project already. But if you want to achieve rapid growth, you shouldn't waste time figuring everything out on your own. Instead, you need a proven and tested framework that works in the IT industry.
It will help you focus on leading projects rather than googling for yet another template.
IT Project Management is Unique
I understand how hard it is to put bits and pieces into a project management approach that works. And, frankly speaking, I spent the first five years of my career sorting it all out.
That's why let me ask you this:
Do you really need to waste that much time as well? Is it the best career development path for you?
I'm asking because I applied the same Practical Project Management approach each time, even on large enterprise projects. Moreover, it not only worked for me but also for dozens of other project managers I taught.
Why?
Three clear reasons:
- My approach has a great emphasis on how to instantly become a leader for your team, how to influence stakeholders, and people management in general.
- Practical Project Management approach provides a complete set of simple processes and tools to manage an IT project in the real world. It includes project scope, budget, and risks.
- It's a practical approach, which means you can follow the step-by-step process to deliver a project on time and within budget.
Just think…
Instead of wasting months on learning overwhelming amounts of inapplicable theory and searching Google for answers, you know exactly where to focus your efforts.
What if you knew a proven project management approach that you can apply at once and be confident that you do it in the right way.
That’s why I have taken everything I learned from ten years of practical experience in managing IT projects.
Then, I put together the Practical Project Management Online Course with hands-on, real-world examples and practical methods explained and demonstrated in a way that will help you confidently finish your projects, become a leader, and rapidly grow your career.

Bonuses That Will Help You Become the Best Project Manager
Bonus 1: My Personal Stakeholder Management System
Identify Stakeholders... What does that mean in the real world? How do you actually do it?
You need to collect information about people and their possible behavior. So, you mustn't sound like a gossiper or make people feel insecure.
In this bonus, I’ll share the “Circles” approach to finding and categorizing stakeholders. I’ll give you a workflow and exact questions you can use to discover all the people who are interested in your project.
Next, you’ll get a simple tool that helps you to keep stakeholders engaged, committed to their promises, and fully informed about your project.
Last but not least, I’ll share my experience in managing difficult, micromanaging, or disengaged stakeholders.
This bonus will ensure you build efficient communication with all critical stakeholders while not spending the whole day on meetings in Zoom.
Bonus 2: Resource Management Mastery
Resource management in the IT industry equals leadership!
But what does it mean to lead a team? What do you actually do to become a leader? Trials and errors is not the best approach to building rapport with people.
I read dozens of books on leadership. For ten years I’ve been testing lots of approaches and techniques. So, you don’t need to read all those books. You don’t need to be a natural-born leader. You can learn it from this course.
With this bonus, you’ll get a simple approach to winning the respect of your team quickly. You’ll build rapport and professional relationships with key people on your project. And you’ll learn how to set goals and ensure commitment from the team so that they perform at the highest level.
I’ll teach you how to create a feeling of ownership and responsibility for the project with your people.
The same approaches work with clients, your boss, and all other stakeholders. Even as a junior project manager, you can follow these steps and become a great leader. A leader that people love to work with.
Bonus 3: Job Security and Career Development Systems
Unfortunately, it's easy to get stuck on the same level for many years in the IT industry. As a result, your boss may see you as a great manager to lead small non-essential projects.
You start questioning yourself whether you have what it takes to lead large enterprise projects. However, you need to get more and more complex assignments. Your career development directly depends on it.
That's why I've included professional development guidelines for you. They include:
- A professional development plan that outlines the main stages from junior to senior IT project manager.
- Career development tips that will help you get promotions and salary raises when you need them.
- My exclusive system for writing a Perfect CV of a Project Manager.
You'll never be afraid to lose your current job because dozens of recruiters will be hunting for you every month.
If you implement recommendations from this bonus, your next salary raise will easily cover the investment into this course.
Get Instant Access to All Materials
What's My Investment?
You can spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on certifications. In return, an instructor from the construction (or any other) industry retells you the PMBOK Guide.
Yes, it feels like you know what to do in theory, but you can't implement it in the IT industry.
But still, you have a full-time job as a project manager, and you don't have much time and energy to waste on knowledge and skills you never use.
In any case, as I see it, you have two options here:
- Option #1: You try to get through it on your own and entirely possibly slow down your career for years. It'll keep you in the same place this time next year, with lots of wasted efforts and no further promotion.
- Option #2: You 100% commit to becoming a capable project manager during the next few weeks with practical knowledge and skills, ready to lead any project.
So, how much does it cost to tap into the expertise and lessons learned by a project management mentor?
Actually, I might have charged you two thousand dollars. The course is that good. You are not only getting all the training videos and all the bonuses — but you get a proven framework. There are a lot of insights that you can get only through accumulating your own experience.
But I'm really passionate about my profession. I believe that if I train you, there will be one more great leader in the world.
So, because of that, I want to make this program affordable to you as much as possible:
