We turn project managers into confident leaders in 90 days
Digital Project Management Foundations is a three-month remote digital project management course that turns good PMs into exceptional ones
Watch your PMs take back the project wheel
Deliver on your client promises
Watch your margins grow predictably
Your job is not a micro-manager
You’ve invested a ton of time and money to hire solid project managers. Why is it so tough to deliver projects that make your clients happy and keep your team feeling energized?
Processes are inconsistent. Reporting is all over the place. Your team is wasting hours in meetings that go nowhere. You don’t know where project margins and progress are at and constantly feel like you need to step in and save the day, pulling you away from your actual job.
You shouldn’t have to babysit. You have a team of intelligent people. They were just never taught how to build better project management systems using their hearts and their heads.
We’ll teach your PMs how to be stars
The Digital Project Management Foundations course teaches your project managers how to…
Design better processes
Create predictable environments for creativity, flexibility and experimentation.
Improve relationships
Build stronger alignment and set meaningful boundaries and expectations with stakeholders.
Increase project profitability
Use intelligent risk analysis, predictive planning, scoping, scheduling, and capacity management to smooth out cash flow and increase margins
The course we wish we had
Louder Than Ten started as a digital agency in 2009. Our team has delivered thousands of projects as project managers, team leaders, and production staff at other agencies and product companies. We never had quality project management training that applied to the digital work and the agency environments we were working in.
We learned the hard way. And we put all our years of practice and trial-by-fire secrets together and created a course to support all the PMs who are busting their asses out there without a community or a playbook.
Digital Project Management Foundations is the course we wish we had when those complex creative, marketing, and software projects rolled in all those years ago.
93% of graduates recoup training fees within 3 months
200+ students at agencies, departments, and product studios trained
100% designed for digital teams
Louder Than Ten’s Digital Project Management Foundations course had a huge impact on my professional growth as a PM, and as a result, on our company as a whole. Our projects are running more smoothly and profitably, and our clients are noticing. I’m grateful to be a part of such a collaborative community. Kudos to LT10 for all they’re doing to grow and support leaders in our industry.
