The new project management standard just went from 12 principles to 6. That's not a downgrade. That's the best news construction PMs have had in years.

If you've ever asked me how I manage a project from start to finish, I'm finally putting it all in one place.
I just launched a new page called The Field PM, it's where I'll be breaking down real project management for residential construction pros.
No textbook fluff, no certification required. Just practical systems that work on actual job sites.
Over the next 12 weeks, I'm running a full series called PMBOK 8 for Builders, taking the latest project management standard and translating it into language that makes sense for GCs, contractors, and owners' reps.
If you build for a living and want to run tighter projects, this is for you.
