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