Project Management Know-How


Why is good project management know-how important for you?

If you are working for a company that is doing substantial parts of its business in projects, you know that high-quality project management is one of your company's key success factors.

Your career development depends mainly on what and how much you can contribute to your company's success. With excellent project management skills, you will be a valuable member of your company. This will help you to grow your career.

Every project is different which allows you to gain new learning and experience in different business areas with every new project you work on. If you like to continuously learn throughout your professional life, a career as a project manager would be the right choice for you.

Overview of the content on this website


The material you can get from me is a structured compilation of the project management know-how from

  • literature

  • my project management practice

  • countless discussions in project management seminars, workshops, consulting, or coaching sessions


The website focuses on your learning and the practical application of project management know-how, while theory is kept to a necessary minimum.

There are four major chapters:

  • Home & About

  • Traditional PM

  • Project Business

  • Services & Products

Each chapter consists of sections, and some of these, of sub-sections.


Chapter "Home & About"


This chapter contains the "Home Page", plus the pages "About Peter", "About this Site", "My Blog", and the "Site Map" which helps you navigate this website.


Chapter "Traditional PM"


In the chapter "Traditional PM" and its sections and sub-sections, you will discover all the traditional project management concepts and tools, as we are using them for managing a linear, phase-by-phase project life cycle.

If you are just starting with exploring project management, I recommend you go through this chapter first. It is laid out as a learning path that guides you in the following sequence:

  1. Fundamentals of Project Management

  2. Project Management Process

  3. Project Definition Phase

  4. Project Planning Phase

  5. Project Planning Phase Continued

  6. Project Implementation Phase

  7. Project Closure Phase


I put together an online course which covers only the basics and is available free of charge:

Intro to PM

It is organized into five lessons, following the project life cycle.
