About Project Management Guide
Project Management Guide is written by Trevor Roberts, a programme and project management consultant with 25 years of experience delivering projects across UK public sector organisations.
What you’ll find here
This site is home to practical, evidence-based thinking about project and programme management. We cover the fundamentals – what actually works in real delivery – alongside current topics like AI in project management, governance, and the specific challenges of public sector work.
The archive spans 13+ years of thinking on PM. Some articles are timeless. Others show their age. We’ve marked them accordingly so you know what you’re reading.
Stay in the loop
Every week, we send out a newsletter featuring the latest article and occasional extras – new resources, templates, or timely pieces that can’t wait for the regular slot. No fluff, no filler. Sign up using the form in the sidebar and you’ll get a welcome email telling you exactly what to expect.
The Governance Pack
We’ve taken 25 years of practitioner experience and distilled it into a set of twelve governance templates, covering everything from business cases and risk registers to highlight reports and lessons learned. There’s a companion Practitioner Guide too. If you’ve ever inherited a project with no documentation and thought “where do I even start?” – this is where you start.
Why it exists
Project management is often treated as either bureaucracy or magic. It’s neither. It’s a discipline grounded in clear thinking, good communication, and ruthless prioritisation. This site exists to share what that looks like in practice.
