What is it?
“First 5 PM Days” is a detailed five-day guide that will walk you through the most critical stages of your first week working on a new project. It is a concrete action plan designed to help you avoid decision paralysis and quickly build the foundations for success in your new role. Instead of theorizing, you get a ready-made scenario (Action Plan) that will allow you to organize the chaos, eliminate the stress of uncertainty, and focus on building team trust from day one.
What’s inside?
Inside, you will find precise step-by-step instructions for each day of the week: from learning about the project and meeting with stakeholders (Days 1-2), through workshops on requirements and risk analysis (Day 3), to choosing a methodology, configuring tools, and conducting a professional Kick-Off meeting (Days 4-5). In addition to a task checklist, the material includes tips on “Mindset Shift”: you will learn how to shift your thinking from “I must know everything” to effective information management and how to position yourself as a support rather than a supervisor of the team.
