Hey, everybody. Welcome back to People Process Progress. I'm Kevin Pinell, and today's episode is a short
but special one. I'm excited to share some big news with you all. But first, please dial it
your cell phones, hold all sidebar conversations to a minimum, and let's get started with the People
Process Progress Podcast. Three, two, one. Here's the news. My new book, The People Process and Progress of
project management is now live on Amazon and Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover. This book has been
years in the making, and it pulls together a couple decades of lessons that I've learned
from healthcare information technology, public safety, emergency management, into a practical
field guide for new and experienced project leaders. So what does this matter? If you've ever
dropped into a tough project and thought, where do I even start? This book is for you.
Inside, you'll find real world's tools, stories from the front lines of projects and public
safety events that I've been part of, and frameworks that you can use right away to keep
your people moving forward, strengthen your processes, and show real progress to your leaders
and stakeholders.
Writing this book gave me the chance to connect everything I've learned from being a corpsman,
public health health care ITPMO leader, and it's not theory, it's tested and proven
in some of the most complex environments you can imagine, and based on a lot of the
information I've gotten from my mentors that I greatly appreciate. My hope is that it helps you
cut through the noise and lead with clarity. Some examples of what I talk about include the seven
pillars of successful projects, which is leader's intent, definition of done, smart objectives,
functional org structure, realistic resource coordination, right-sized communication,
and efficient and definitive project handoffs. In addition to these pillars, which I expand
on and how you can take action on them, I also help bust some project management myths,
including that not everyone has the potential to lead projects.
That project managers need to be subject matter experts.
Not true.
That you can't mix methodologies.
100% you can.
And that more money and resources accelerate progress,
which is just not the case.
And that's just a very small fraction of what you'll get out of this book.
So if you're a project manager,
Team Lear or someone who just wants to bring order the chaos,
check out the people process and progress of project management on Amazon.
I'll drop the link in the show notes.
And if you want to grab a copy, I'd be grateful for you to leave a review.
It helps get the word out, supports the mission of helping more people lead better projects and better lives.
Thank you for tuning in to this podcast for checking out the book.
