Hi! I’m Emma Sharrock, and I am passionate about all things that involve change and people, and have worked as a project and change manager since 1999. I founded a coaching business in 2011, and since then have been using my passions for projects and change and human behaviour to help people and organisations make outstanding change happen.
I wrote The Agile Project Manager because I feel that in this increasingly complex world, we are losing the human aspect of project and change management. We are prioritising tools and templates over relationships and human interaction. It’s getting harder to take the time to meet with someone face-to-face to understand their concerns when there are a million spreadsheets waiting to be filled in and a new process that now needs to be followed.
My goal with my writing is to provide simple tools and techniques to assist project professionals to achieve project success. And these tools and techniques are all about you, because that is where the biggest difference can be made.
