00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,279
[Kevin Pannell]

[Kevin Pannell]
with this People Process Progress podcast. Three, two,

00:00:18,765 --> 00:00:27,520
[Kevin Pannell]
one. Here's the news. My new book, The

00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,160
[Kevin Pannell]
People, Process, and Progress of Project Management, is

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,720
[Kevin Pannell]
now live on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,440
[Kevin Pannell]
hardcover. This book has been years in the

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,000
[Kevin Pannell]
making, and it pulls together a couple decades

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,705
[Kevin Pannell]
of lessons that I've learned from health care

14
00:00:39,705 --> 00:00:42,985
[Kevin Pannell]
information technology, public safety, emergency management, into a

15
00:00:42,985 --> 00:00:46,585
[Kevin Pannell]
practical field guide for new and experienced project

16
00:00:46,585 --> 00:00:48,985
[Kevin Pannell]
leaders. So why does this matter? If you've

17
00:00:48,985 --> 00:00:51,450
[Kevin Pannell]
ever dropped into a tough project and thought,

18
00:00:51,530 --> 00:00:54,010
[Kevin Pannell]
where do I even start? This book is

19
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:57,070
[Kevin Pannell]
for you. Inside, you'll find real world tools,

20
00:00:57,370 --> 00:00:59,290
[Kevin Pannell]
stories from the front lines of projects and

21
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:01,610
[Kevin Pannell]
public safety events that I've been part of,

22
00:01:01,610 --> 00:01:03,950
[Kevin Pannell]
and frameworks that you can use right away

23
00:01:04,010 --> 00:01:06,090
[Kevin Pannell]
to keep your people moving forward, strengthen your

24
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:08,795
[Kevin Pannell]
processes, and show real progress to your leaders

25
00:01:08,795 --> 00:01:11,915
[Kevin Pannell]
and stakeholders. Writing this book gave me the

26
00:01:11,915 --> 00:01:14,235
[Kevin Pannell]
chance to connect everything I've learned from being

27
00:01:14,235 --> 00:01:16,795
[Kevin Pannell]
a corpsman, public health emergency manager, now a

28
00:01:16,795 --> 00:01:19,195
[Kevin Pannell]
health care IT PMO leader. And it's not

29
00:01:19,195 --> 00:01:21,220
[Kevin Pannell]
theory. It's tested and proven in some of

30
00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:23,620
[Kevin Pannell]
the most complex environments you can imagine. And

31
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:25,060
[Kevin Pannell]
based on a lot of the information I've

32
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:27,320
[Kevin Pannell]
gotten from my mentors that I greatly appreciate.

33
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:29,380
[Kevin Pannell]
My hope is that it helps you cut

34
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:31,780
[Kevin Pannell]
through the noise and lead with clarity. Some

35
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:34,020
[Kevin Pannell]
examples of what I talk about include the

36
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:36,845
[Kevin Pannell]
seven pillars of successful projects, which is leaders'

37
00:01:36,845 --> 00:01:40,125
[Kevin Pannell]
intent, definition of done, smart objectives, functional org

38
00:01:40,125 --> 00:01:44,445
[Kevin Pannell]
structure, realistic resource coordination, right sized communication, and

39
00:01:44,445 --> 00:01:48,285
[Kevin Pannell]
efficient and definitive project handoffs. In addition to

40
00:01:48,285 --> 00:01:50,010
[Kevin Pannell]
these pillars, which I expand on and how

41
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:51,850
[Kevin Pannell]
you can take action on them, I also

42
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:55,690
[Kevin Pannell]
help bust some project management myths, including that

43
00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:58,350
[Kevin Pannell]
not everyone has the potential to lead projects,

44
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:01,130
[Kevin Pannell]
that project managers need to be subject matter

45
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:04,535
[Kevin Pannell]
experts, not true, That you can't mix methodologies.

46
00:02:05,075 --> 00:02:07,395
[Kevin Pannell]
Hundred percent you can. And that more money

47
00:02:07,395 --> 00:02:10,595
[Kevin Pannell]
and resources accelerate progress, which is just not

48
00:02:10,595 --> 00:02:12,675
[Kevin Pannell]
the case. And that's just a very small

49
00:02:12,675 --> 00:02:14,675
[Kevin Pannell]
fraction of what you'll get out of this

50
00:02:14,675 --> 00:02:16,515
[Kevin Pannell]
book. So if you're a project manager, a

51
00:02:16,515 --> 00:02:18,120
[Kevin Pannell]
team leader, or someone who just wants to
