No formal project management background required. WHO THIS IS FOR This course is built for team leads, department heads, creatives, consultants, and operational doers who manage projects. If you’ve ever thought: “I’m not a project manager, but I’m expected to run projects anyway.” “I’m tired of chasing updates and playing catch-up.” “There must be a simpler way to keep everyone on track…” "I have a project management certification, but I still feel like I'm reinventing the wheel every time."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING - "I have just used the Plant framework for quarterly planning and I have my strongest quarterly plan established for my team with clearest scope and outcomes, providing them the clarity they have been craving." - Allen K. - "I rate this course as 'Outstanding'. It is a concise four step process that, if followed, will simplify and organize your work. While the target audience is someone without formal training that is managing 'projects', the sequence of steps described can be used by almost anyone struggling to 'get something done'. The organization and sequence of activity, while simple, is logical and easy for non-professionals and even professionals to use to guide their work to completion. The library of prepared worksheets and checklists align with the program and are easily adapted to the user's need. I wish I had this information years ago and highly recommend it to anyone struggling to bring their assignment to successful completion." - John B. - "This course made project management seem easy! It really simplified a lot for me." - Ainsley D. COURSE OVERVIEW Projects grow like plants. From idea to completion, they need structure, care, and the right conditions to thrive. That’s why this course follows the Plant to Harvest Framework: a simple, four-stage approach that helps you get clear on your goals, map out your plan, keep things moving, and finish strong. Whether you’re launching something new or just trying to get through a messy workweek, these modules guide you through every phase. - Module 1 – Plant: Clarify the purpose and define success - Module 2 – Sprout: Break it into steps and build your plan - Module 3 – Tend: Keep things moving with sustainable routines - Module 4 – Harvest: Reflect, close loops, and improve your process - Bonus Module – Project Management in the Age of AI: AI shortcuts for simplified project work By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: - Manage any project with clarity and calm, without adding unnecessary complexity. - Run effective meetings and follow-up without micromanaging - Lead projects even without formal authority - Deliver better results without burning out you or your team HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT FROM GETTING A PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL (PMP) CERTIFICATION? - This course is a one-time payment and the certification lasts forever. The PMP requires regular recertification fees and education credits. - This course gives you a step-by-step system that you can start implementing immediately. The PMP requires extensive studying and while it gives some good information, it doesn’t walk you through how to implement that information. - This course gives you a certification as soon as you complete all the modules because you can start using the information right away and don’t need to memorize anything. You’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips. The PMP requires you to memorize a lot of information and take an exam to prove your memorization skills, but doesn’t give the resources you need to successfully manage projects. - This course dives into the softer people skills as well as the technical skills for managing projects. The PMP focuses mostly on the technical skills with very little attention given to the soft skills than often make or a break a project.
