Presentation

Getting Things Done: Visual Project Management

Everyone does things of value for someone else.  When these things are not routine and repetitive, they fit the definition of 'Project'.  When several (or many) people are involved in one or more projects, it takes special talent to get them done; a talent most lack.

Sadly, most projects are late, over budget, of less value than hope or simply forgotten over time.  This presentation shows how ANYONE can effectively manage a multitude of projects without complicated software or years of training.  Its visual. Its elegantly simple!
