Is this program right for me?
The WP Project Manager’s Academy is designed for anyone responsible for ensuring that WordPress projects are completed on time, within budget, with features that meet the client’s business objectives.
Whether you’re a large agency or individual WordPress solution provider or somewhere in between, if you’re struggling with retaining your project profit margin due to scope creep, missed requirements, missed deadlines, difficult clients, or general productivity, you will find value in this program.
If you are a newly-formed agency or just beginning with freelancing, many of the concepts taught in the program will help you get started on the right foot.
PLEASE NOTE: While the program is mostly non-technical in nature, at least an intermediate technical expertise in WordPress is assumed. So, this program may not be right for those just learning to use WordPress.
While other programs designed to improve your WordPress-based business touch on aspects of project management, no other program focuses on, nor teaches, core project management principles and best practices. The Complete Project Management Roadmap for WordPress is a project management framework intended to be customized based on your specific projects, customers, and the goals of your agency.
There is no easy answer here. It really just depends on how many lessons are in a particular Module or Roadmap and how much time you have available to go through the lessons. Most video lessons are under 15 minutes each. Most Roadmaps have 4-5 lessons each. Some have more. Then, you also have to calculate how much time you may spend trying out the processes I recommend.
