Absolutely, it is!
Regardless of your software or your team’s project management experience, SLAY gives your team what they don’t yet have: consistent, proven frameworks, tools, and strategies that work in any environment.
Software may help keep things organized and visible, but it is only as effective as the team using it. It won’t keep projects on track or know how to lead effective meetings, align stakeholders, or understand how to spot and stop budget issues. In fact, SLAY makes project management software even more effective.
Senior project managers benefit from SLAY, too, and many of the most enthusiastic SLAY students are seasoned PMs with decades of experience. However, most project managers were not given a proper foundation and many have not kept ahead of emerging best practices.
By using SLAY, they solidify their project management foundation, learn new skills, and gain a consistent system that the entire team knows and follows.

General Project Management Questions
Project management is the process of planning, organizing, and guiding an initiative so goals are achieved on-time, on-budget, and within the promised scope. It requires risk reduction, stakeholder alignment, and clear communication, plus a consistent, scalable framework.
While many think managing a project means leading a large, visible effort, a project is anything with a start date, end date and a deliverable. From a social media campaign to a pitch deck to a grant request to planning an office party, they’re all projects!
This means most managers and teams are overseeing far more projects than they ever considered.

A project manager leads and manages a project from beginning to end.
They ensure goals are met on-time and on-budget, plus ensure the scope or deliverables are executed. They manage timelines and budgets, lead productive meetings, reduce risk, and keep stakeholders engaged throughout the project.
While many project managers have the title of project manager, most do not. We call these “accidental project managers”; they manage efforts that have a start date, end date and a deliverable, even if their title doesn’t reflect their project management responsibilities.

Many people think a project must be a large, complex effort or initiative. In reality, anything with a start date, end date, and deliverable is a project.
From organizing an employee retirement party to reorganizing the department’s SharePoint files to moving offices to rolling out new software, your team probably manages hundreds of projects at a time—not just those “big” efforts everyone calls a project.
This means that having consistent structures, tools, frameworks, and language around managing projects is a must. Your team is always in project management mode, so the impact of SLAY is exponential!
Learn more about project management fundamentals here.
For projects to be successful, project managers need stellar time and budget management skills, plus serve as effective communicators to a variety of stakeholders. They have to identify and reduce risk to ensure on-time and on-budget deliveries with minimal rework.
The in-demand skills for project managers are always evolving, so it’s vital your project managers have ongoing access to project management education, not just a one-time training.
Discover more about crucial project manager skills on our blog.
To keep risk under control, project managers have to identify risks early, ideally in the planning phase. When risks do arise, they need practical tools to understand the risk and how to best manage it to avoid impacting budgets or deadlines.
Importantly, when a major risk or change occurs, project managers must know how to align stakeholders and keep people engaged. Sustaining buy-in is crucial to prevent risk and change from derailing a project.
Learn more about managing risk and change on our blog.
Successful projects that meet their deadline and budget goals require a clear plan, pragmatic timelines, realistic budgets, and ongoing monitoring of the project’s progress.
As the project progresses, project managers need to follow consistent frameworks and templates, plus tools to assign accountability and spot threats to timelines or budgets. Soft skills, like negotiation, team communication, and stakeholder management are also vital ingredients for a successful project.
