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.
