Getting Started in Project Management – with Frank Turley | Video


Frank Turley has 14 years’ experience in Project Management. But he now focuses on helping aspiring project managers learn the craft and gain practical experience. That’s why I wanted to speak with him about the best way of getting started in Project Management.

This video is safe for viewing in the workplace.

This is learning, so, sit back and enjoy

Frank Turley

Frank is a powerful advocate for Project Management, through his writings, project case studies, and innovative ways of teaching the PM methodologies.

And he believes we don’t learn project management best in a 3-day classroom training, but by gradually learning and practicing new skills – constantly pushing at the edge of our comfort zone. Frank is a trainer for PRINCE2 Foundation, Agile, Scrum, and ITIL4 Foundation.

What Kit does a Project Manager Need?

I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list. I added my own.
