Project Management That Actually Works

Justin Bateh, PhD

CEO @ Projects Right

Stop winging it. Start leading projects with a system that actually works.

You're managing projects without a playbook.

Stakeholders change direction. People don't follow through. And somehow you're still the one accountable for delivery.

You're not failing. You just don't have a system yet.

Project Management That Actually Works gives you the Project Execution Framework™ - a 7-step system built from 80+ real projects that teaches you how to plan, lead, and deliver without winging it.

Imagine going home without worrying about your projects. Knowing exactly what to do Monday morning. Having a system your team actually follows.

That's what this course builds - not just PM skills, but the calm confidence that comes from having a real system behind you.

You'll walk away knowing how to:

  • Fix stakeholder misalignment before it derails the project

  • Lead teams confidently, even without the title or authority

  • Build a repeatable system you can use on any project, anywhere

Even if you've never been formally trained as a PM, you'll leave with the tools, templates, and confidence to run projects that actually finish.

This is the same system taught in $7,000+/day corporate engagements. Plus, earn 21 PDUs ($600+ value).

What you’ll learn

Get the system, templates, and confidence to lead any project without winging it.

  • Define scope that eliminates confusion before it becomes a problem your team has to solve.

  • Build plans and timelines your team can actually follow, not just nod at in the kickoff.

  • Run a kickoff that aligns goals, roles, and expectations so no one leaves guessing.

  • Make faster decisions with incomplete information instead of stalling the whole project.

  • Keep delivery moving when priorities shift, leadership changes direction, or scope creeps.

  • Align your team around what matters when no one above you is giving clear direction.

  • Build trust fast so people follow your lead even when you're not their boss.

  • Address conflict and resistance early before it stalls the project quietly.

  • Keep a team motivated when the project gets hard and momentum drops.

  • Map how work actually moves through your team and find where it breaks down.

  • Design a future-state workflow that removes friction and speeds up handoffs.

  • Fix the highest-impact problems first instead of redesigning everything at once.

  • Communicate so clearly that executives and contributors both know exactly where things stand.

  • Get buy-in for your plan without chasing approvals or escalating every decision.

  • Use structured tools to strengthen alignment and control the narrative.

  • Spot risks early and act before small issues become project-killing problems.

  • Build a leadership approach you can reuse on any project in any environment.

  • Deliver outcomes that earn trust, grow your influence, and advance your career.

    Shanon Cooper

    AGI Business Strategist
  • Teaching is both a science and an art form. As an older individual, he effectively communicated recommendations in such a fashion that what I learned today, I could put into action tomorrow. He had an open line of communication so if I did not understand his recommendations or resource materials, I could reach out to him.
