In the heart of Huntsville, Alabama, a dynamic entrepreneur is making waves in the project management world. Meet Lindsay Jenson, the visionary founder behind Mrs. Project, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the way individuals learn Microsoft Project and Milestones Professional.
Lindsay’s Story: A Journey in Project Management Excellence
Lindsay’s journey in project management started as a scheduling intern at Lockheed Martin during her college years. Under the guidance of the aerospace giant, she honed her skills and developed a passion for project planning. Even after relocating upon marriage, Lindsay continued to flourish in the planning world for over two decades, with an impressive 22 years of experience working with Microsoft Project.
Her wealth of experience includes involvement in diverse and challenging projects, where she consistently found a common need – effective training for schedulers on how to analyze data and utilize project management tools to their fullest potential. Recognizing this gap, Lindsay embarked on a mission to share her expertise and bridge the knowledge divide within the industry.
Mrs. Project: Bridging the Training Gap
Founded in 2023, Mrs. Project is Lindsay’s brainchild, inspired by her deep connection to Microsoft Project, which she humorously refers to as her virtual spouse. The company’s first course was launched in October 2023, with an aim to simplify the complex world of project management tools and instill a mindset that goes beyond mere tool proficiency.
“I’m here to help individuals learn a skill they were asked to learn by their corporations. It’s a skillset that is in high demand, yet not taught very well. It’s not only learning the tool but training the mindset of how to look at data and make decisions,” Lindsay explains.
The Mrs. Project Approach
Mrs. Project focuses on educating employees on how to effectively use project management tools, a skillset currently in high demand. Lindsay emphasizes that while many recognize the importance of these skills, there’s a shortage of individuals who truly understand how to use these tools to their fullest capability.
Lindsay’s teaching philosophy extends beyond the technicalities of project management tools. She believes in shaping the mindset of her students, teaching them not just to use the tools but to think like a Project Manager – asking the right questions, recognizing trends, and understanding the intricacies of project dynamics.
