What you'll learn

1. Project management basics. Six weeks at 15 minutes a day is enough to learn the core of small-project coordination if you focus on the tasks you will actually do.
2. What a Project Really Is. A project is not a long to-do list. A list has no end point. A project does. Every project has three fixed parts: a goal, a scope, and a deadline. The goal is the result you want.
3. Breaking Work Into Tasks. Your project goal is 'publish the new onboarding guide by June 30.' Your five-person team reads it and asks, 'So who does what?' Nobody starts, and the first week disappears.
4. Dependencies and the Critical Path. The longest task is not always the critical path. That idea is wrong. The critical path is the longest chain of tasks where each task waits for the one before it.
5. Tracking and Reporting Progress. Why can a project look busy every week and still miss its project deadline? Hold that question.
