What To Expect

Reading Project Management for Humans is a great idea — you’ll get tons of out it. But imagine having the author by your side to answer questions, push your assumptions, and help you put the book's concepts into action.
The Project Management for Humans Book Club is designed to do just that and includes:

  • In-Depth Chapter Reviews

    We'll explore a Project Management for Humans chapter each week, uncovering practical tips and golden nuggets. Brett Harned will lead the charge, sparking conversations and answering all your burning questions.

  • Discussions and Q&A

    Connect with fellow project managers and enthusiasts as we explore the challenges and triumphs of human-centered project management. Bring your questions and experiences for a rich, interactive learning experience.

  • Interactive Presentations and Workshop Exercises

    Gain hands-on experience with project management tools and techniques. Some sessions include short presentations and workshop exercises to help you apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios.

  • Homework Assignments

    Your main homework will be to read each chapter before the session. Some sessions will include an optional homework assignment to help you reinforce your learning. These tasks will challenge you to think critically and practice your new skills, ensuring you get the most out of each session. (If the idea of homework scares you, don’t worry! Homework is lightweight and optional because no one is claiming this to be a real “school.”)
