Becoming a Project Manager with no Experience

Becoming a Project Manager with No Experience is a concise, step-by-step guide for fresh graduates, career-changers, and team members ready to lead their first projects. The heart of the book provides hands-on instruction: you'll create realistic project plans, leverage beginner-friendly tools like Gantt charts and Kanban boards, and practice execution, monitoring, and control through checklists and exercises. Finally, the guide plots your career path—teaching you how to craft a personal brand, gain volunteer or freelance experience, choose the right certifications (from CAPM® to Agile credentials), and avoid common pitfalls such as overpromising or poor communication—so you can transition confidently into the role of project manager.
