An accidental project manager is an individual thrust into a project leadership role without formal project management qualifications. This scenario often unfolds when professionals, such as clinicians find themselves unexpectedly tasked with managing projects.
Despite lacking formal project management training, these accidental project managers may be compelled to navigate the complexities of project leadership.
Typically devoid of substantial project management experience, these individuals operate without the benefit of recognised certifications or training sessions dedicated to project leadership. Their ascent to project management roles is marked by a steep learning curve, as they grapple with the demands of orchestrating successful project outcomes without the traditional foundation of formal education in this field.
