Houston, TX — Claudio Gutierrez, PMP, President and Founder of Valens Project Consulting, has announced the recent publication of his book, The Essentials of Project Management: A Practical Introduction to Project Management, a concise professional guide designed to provide clarity on how projects are planned, executed, and delivered across industries.
Unlike certification-focused or highly academic texts, The Essentials of Project Management is written as both an introduction for newcomers and a structured refresher for experienced professionals. The book traces the historical foundations of project management, explains the five core project phases in practical terms, and explores emerging trends shaping the future of the discipline.
Gutierrez wrote the book to address a common gap he has observed while working with manufacturers, distributors, and engineering-driven organizations: many teams run complex projects daily without a shared framework or common language for managing work. The book emphasizes clear thinking, disciplined planning, and practical execution rather than tools, software, or exam preparation.
The Essentials of Project Management is intended for a broad professional audience, including supervisors, engineers, operations leaders, and executives—anyone responsible for coordinating work across people, departments, or external partners.
The paperback edition is now available on Amazon.
