February 2023 | The Paper Podcast by Kevin McGowan

In this short session, we will cover the basics of planning for your podcast project, using project management best practices. We will talk about how to navigate the excitement of your “great new podcast idea!” and use PM skills to practically plan and implement your vision.

Kevin McGowan has worked as a Project Manager for nearly 3 decades. That’s a lot of projects.

One of his specialties is in the Learning and Education space. He has developed everything from technical documentation for telecom switches to basic computing primers for the Canadian judiciary, from college-level Writing and Marketing programs to life-saving opioid awareness programs. He dedicates much of his time supporting organisations so they can better understand how to plan Learning Projects using standard Project Management methodologies.

His other primary specialty is working with small organisations who need Project Management expertise, in the high-tech and non-profit sectors. Not every organisation can afford to have a full-time Project Manager on staff, so Kevin works with organisations who could use a hand getting organised and running their projects more efficiently.

A Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Scrum Master (CSM), he currently works as a Senior Project Manager with Pinax, helping develop corporate level objectives and coaching development teams on using appropriate Agile and Scrum methodologies. He also sits on the board of Voicefound, an Ottawa-based non-profit organisation. And he also does training and speaking engagements for global audiences.
