We all wish we could sharpen key management skills like writing more effective emails or proposals, focusing to-do lists on what really matters, giving more persuasive presentations, or dealing with a boss who makes you want to scream. But who has the time?

The HBR Guides can help. In the HBR Guide to Project Management learn how to set clear project goals, map out critical tasks, and keep the team humming so you can deliver the goods on time and on budget.
