Six essential project management skills
I’ve just added ‘Project Manager’ to my CV. Well, figuratively speaking anyway.
Though I’ve not had the official job title as such, I have bought and rented houses, decided to enrol in study and planned a holiday.

I like this article because it uses plain English to outline six simple tips for managing a project so even a pleb like me, with no project management skills or understanding of the lingo, can understand it.
