The purpose of the Project Manager's Cookbook is to make the knowledge behind successful project management exciting, easy to understand, and applicable in every area of our lives. It is a means of initiating conversations and generating discussions that help us to find our paths in thelast job we will all have. We are all project managers, we just didn't know what it was, nor how to find and properly understand the theoretical methodology behind it all.How do we shrink the gap of project failures that still remains in spite of the 650000 PMI trained and certified project, program, and portfoliomanagers? Everyone involved in project management within the organization needs a baseline understanding of the organizations project management methodology. Organizational Project Management strategies have allowed a golden opportunity to pass without seizing it. The missed opportunity does come with a giant lost opportunity price tag. Project management knowledge and access to career path must be open to everyone within a project based organization (PBO).The employees above and outside the Portfolio, Program, or Project management levels also need the requisite baseline knowledge to unleash the total power of project management through changing an organization's skill level, establishing entry levels for employees who have demonstrated the desire and the acumen to enter the project management field and who have distinguished themselves in the roles they have held within the organization.

This then becomes the project management internal talent pool. Buy-in occurs when an organization grows its own project managers and changes the entire organization through access, inclusion, and gaining incremental and sustainable increases in capability.How do we change the world? Do something to change yourself first. If you have fears that this methodology won't stick and take off whereyou are, demonstrate repeated success, build high performing teams, provide the type of customer experience that you expect when you exchange your hard earned money for services or products.These are exciting times, roll your sleeves up, do the hard work that no one see's to achieve the level of success they just can't stop talking about.The world needs more project managers. We can still be that shining light by the side of the mountain."Saving the World One PMP at a Time" -The PMP Whisperer.
