| When you want to search on the web you go to Google, when you want to be a developer you choose Microsoft, Java, Ruby on Rails, etc. When you want to be a Project Manager and that to a good one, you enroll for "Get Real" - The Art of Project Management - The practical way with ChillX. "Get Real" is a course for individuals who want to be practical, hands on Project Managers. This course is built upon our experience when building ChillX.com along with the experience we achieved while working in Multi National Organizations. It gathers experience and guidelines from successful projects that have made it big in the business world. The course is as relevant for an individual who is a project manager for a small company to a project manager who is handling a million dollar project. The course cuts through the theoretical crap, theories for the sake of theory and gets down to the real-world techniques of team building, milestone allocation, task orientation, budgeting, etc. So if you feel that you want to make waves, change lives and be known for your good work then this course is for you. This course helps you understand what really matters before it’s too late. In the words of Guy Kawasaki " If you do one thing right in your career, you can live off your reputation for a long time" For years project management was about charts, graphs, statistics, reporting, meetings. Guess What? It didn’t work. Pictures, numbers, reporting and having a title doesn’t get projects done. Team ChillX tackles these issues through the course "Get Real" where project management is presented and taught from an entirely different angle: A focus on communication and collaboration. It focuses on bringing people together and stream lining business processes.
