Project management as many people know, is its own beast.

Many companies will dedicate a department to project management which mostly consists of folks that are trained in project management.

In fact, some companies will have several different departments for project managers, based on the types of projects they need to run. These can be IT, engineering, research and development etc.

In the traditional sense of project management there are different tactics to use to plan and then execute projects. There’s also dedicated software out there that can help support the project manager.

Not all small businesses will have projects.

However, in some cases, I find that thinking of different types of tasks in terms of projects can be helpful.

In this section you’ll find information whether using projects is right for your type of work. And you can investigate setting up projects from a small business (even solopreneur) perspective.

What this isn’t is a comprehensive guide to project management. As a super small business owner, getting your PMP (Project Management Professional) certificate is most likely not required, unless your small business is project management, then you probably should. And you probably don’t need to read this section at all, unless you want to simplify things for yourself in your own internal work.
