ARE YOU READY TO BE A PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUPER-HERO?

When you learn the 'fast tracking' process, you will learn both the strategic concepts and the executable steps. This ensures that you understand the formative process principles (why it works the way it does), as well as the actual steps required to make process work happen. If you want a first hand look before you commit to the full Toolkit, you can get started by enrolling in our free Fast Track Project Starter Course.

The Fast Track Project Toolkit contains 50+ learning components, including lessons, videos, diagrams, infographics, quizzes and templates. Here's what you can expect to accomplish:

Learn the Basics

We begin by setting the stage for fast track project learning -- with a review of project management basics and how strategic project fast tracking fits in.

Learn to Strategize

We continue with a presentation of the key fast tracking concepts and process structure, taking you from project initiation, through planning and oversight, to post project review.

Learn to Prioritize

Then we teach you how to get your projects defined and aligned to "prioritize and optimize", presenting (30) key definition and alignment guidelines.

Learn to Plan

And then we move on to governance planning, where we teach you how to size management practices to balance best practices, current project needs and available resources.

Learn to Produce

It's the time to deliver. Learn how to plan and produce the Fast Track Charter, the primary deliverable you create to guide your projects through the fast tracking process.

And There's Tools Too

After you've learned all the concepts and steps, you can download the templates, including the Fast Track Charter Template, Lessons Learned Report and more.
