Michael Greer

For nearly three decades, I’ve been helping new project managers become more effective. Through my books, articles, workshops, websites, and public speaking appearances, I’ve tried to demystify the field of project management (PM) and make it accessible to new and part-time project managers. My step-by-step PM texts have been adopted by many universities and are used in many businesses and public sector organizations.

For many years, I managed teams of contractors as they worked side-by-side with new product developers to create training and performance improvement systems for major corporations such as Xerox, Epson America, and Apple Computer. The projects I planned and coordinated were as simple as a single resource working for three weeks and as complicated as 60 people working for more than a year and a half. Deliverables ranged from straightforward documentation to transcontinental satellite broadcasts incorporating pre-produced video sequences, live executive speakers, and real-time competition among problem-solving teams located all over North America.

In recent years I’ve focused on providing workshops and consulting support for organizations who need to improve their PM processes, as well as on the publication of print and media materials to support PM.

At the moment (2/17/2011) I'm most excited about my new book, The Project Management Minimalist: Just Enough PM to Rock Your Projects!
