Ready to break into project management, or stuck at your current level?
The PM Ladder Playbook is a practical guide from Lita Hughes, PMP, with 16+ years leading programs in healthcare operations and supply chain. I built this career without a college degree, and I was 10 years in before I earned my PMP. This playbook shows what each level of the PM ladder expects and exactly how to move up.
