Your First Project Survival Path
$249.90
A clear, practical starting point for professionals newly assigned to manage projects—so you know what to do, what to focus on, and what to avoid in your first 30 days.
Being asked to manage your first project can feel overwhelming—especially if you were never formally trained as a project manager.
This starter path is designed for new and accidental project managers who are expected to deliver results without clear guidance, proven tools, or a roadmap.
Instead of drowning in theory or certification-heavy content, you’ll learn how projects actually work in the real world—what matters most early on, how the pieces fit together, and how to avoid common mistakes that create stress and rework.
If you’re looking for a confident, practical way to start managing projects without second-guessing yourself, this is where you begin.

🎯 This starter path is designed for professionals who are:
• Newly assigned to manage projects and feeling unsure where to start
• Promoted or “voluntold” into a project role without formal PM training
• Learning on the job and worried about missing something important
• Managing projects alongside their regular role and feeling stretched

• A simple way to think through projects from start to finish without feeling overwhelmed
• Real-world examples you can immediately apply to your current work
• Practical templates and tools you can reuse instead of starting from scratch
• A solid foundation you can build on as your responsibilities and confidence grow
You’ll also receive a certificate of completion and professional development units if you need them—but the real value is knowing what to do and why it matters.
