The Job of a PM: What No One Teaches You—Full Table of Contents of What I Learned in 20 Years on the Front Lines

I will be honest.

I read the PMBOK. I passed the PMP exam. But when I got to the front lines, it was completely different.

Textbooks say, 'Do risk management.' But they don't say, 'What do you do in the first 24 hours when all your stakeholders become your enemies?' They say, 'Create a communication plan.' But they don't say, 'What do you say when the CEO calls you directly while the project is on fire?'

What I learned in 20 years is exactly those 'things not written in textbooks.'

In this article, I am publishing the full table of contents of the paid article (1,980 yen) and a preview of each chapter for free. Please check if it contains the content you need before purchasing.

Structure of the paid article—8 themes

Who should read this

People who feel a project is about to catch fire and don't know where to start. People who are facing strong resistance from stakeholders and don't know how to act. People who don't know how to use AI in their PM work. People whose teams are on the verge of collapse while working remotely. People who are worried because their subordinates aren't growing.

I wrote it all in one book.

About the price and bonuses

1,980 yen. Includes 7 template files. Money-back guarantee included.

I think some people will think it's 'expensive.' But please think about it. If you can save one burning project, the value far exceeds 1,980 yen.
