Why isn’t this a two-day course or a bootcamp?

Real learning takes practice—and it takes time. You wouldn’t send astronauts into space without hours of applied learning and intense simulations to prepare them. Like astronauts, you don’t send project leads on a mission without the same attention to their journey. Give them the best chance at success and let them practice in a safe environment so they can master their craft without any of the bad habits picked up in the trenches.

Bootcamps provide immersive learning experiences, but they don’t allow for time to internalize concepts. They also prioritize access to learners who can afford to take weeks off of work and time away from family to complete training. This doesn’t help build inclusive teams nor close the skills gap in tech. We promote on-the-job learning with employers who are willing to invest in training for their employees—wherever they’re at. Invest in a sustainable future for employment and see how true learning manifests itself in bigger revenue and happier teams.

A tale of PM process refinement

From music producer to full-fledged digital PM—handling a full project load—in less than a year.

The biggest impact has been our project manager’s ability to handle conversations with clients about timeline and scope. It’s freed me up to focus on sales and strategy knowing he owns daily client interactions.
Shawn Adrian, Cofounder Input Logic

If you want to gain more experience in digital PM, work with Louder Than Ten. Your time with them and the information you gain is practical and real. The training refined my approach to talking to my team and clients, lean documentation, and the planning that I have now. Most of all, I know my skills bring value to our shop.

Common questions

Who is this training for?

A project lead is anyone who manages projects and people, whether they fill the role of a team lead, project or product manager, producer, coordinator, account manager, owner, or full team. This curriculum focuses on the web and tech industry specifically, so if you’re looking to hone your skills in the industry that will embed itself in everything you touch, you’re in the right place.

Right now we’re focusing on two groups:

Agencies and orgs who want to build one or more teammate’s skills—or who want to hire and grow a new project lead
Agencies or orgs hiring individuals who are already familiar with the lifecycle of design and development (otherwise we’d have to double the length of the program to teach you in the ins and outs of the web world—this might be an add-on as we further develop the program).

How does training work?

Teams or individual apprentices will learn in a similar manner. During the first half of the year, you’ll meet with your trainer and up to five other apprentices for a three-hour video session each week where you work through high-level concepts and theories.

You’ll also set aside a minimum of two hours a week for lab hours, so you can work on homework and application exercises with your fellow learners and explore new thoughts, ideas, and resources in our private Slack group as you internalize the theory of digital project management. Your open time during the rest of the week can be spent supporting your team at work.

During the second half of your training, our trainers will be there each week to chat with you as you take on the full complexity of stakeholder facing projects by answering your questions and challenging you to deepen your real-world learning.
