Hi, I’m Jim Gabriel, creator of the Rapid Project Management (RPM) programs.
For over 20 years, I’ve led projects and programs across industries where failure isn’t an option, medical devices, nuclear power generation, aerospace, product development, and architectural specialties. Along the way, I’ve built high-performing teams, coached emerging leaders, and delivered innovations that reshaped entire organizations.
My background blends technical expertise (B.S. in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, M.S. in Engineering Management) with deep, hands-on experience guiding real teams through complex challenges. I’ve held my PMP certification for over a decade, but more importantly, I’ve learned how to translate those frameworks into results that executives actually care about.
The RPM program was built to help you skip years of trial and error, giving you the confidence, clarity, and systems to deliver real impact fast. This is about learning the same frameworks I've used to lead projects that have generated over $250M in new product revenue, so you can achieve results in a repeatable way. More importantly, I've seen what causes capable professionals to struggle when they're put in charge of a project without support, and how to fix it.
My goal is simple: to help you step into leadership faster and deliver results that move your organization forward.
Let’s make your next project the one that gets you noticed.
Learn the Secrets not just what the Pro's do, but exactly how to do it. Get clear on how to transcribe value into solvable terms.
Understand how all projects fit together with their respective performance domains.
You’ll also learn the Triple Constraint model (scope, schedule, resources) and how to balance them to lead with clarity and control.

Learn to maximize impact by focusing on what truly drives results, and eliminate what doesn’t. You’ll master the FOCUS Framework while learning Pareto Principle to find your vital few priorities, and the Theory of Constraints to identify and remove bottlenecks slowing your progress.
When you combine these, you’ll know where to focus and what to fix first, the secret to moving projects forward faster with less effort.
Includes the FOCUS Framework Tool to help you visualize and act on your top opportunities.

Studies show that over 70% of projects fail, not because of bad execution, but because they solve the wrong problem.
In this module, you’ll learn to validate that the problem truly exists, confirm it’s worth solving, and ensure the solution aligns with business goals.
You’ll build a compelling business case that wins sponsor buy-in and sets the stage for a successful charter.

Use a project selection tool and customizable value formula to prioritize projects based on real strategic impact, not gut instinct.
You’ll learn how to rank initiatives, justify priorities, and make decisions that get leadership support.
If you end up taking time and effort from your life to invest into this project, you need to make certain it pays off in the end, and we go through a step-by-step process to maximize the amount of value that gets created in your project.

You’ll learn the thing most people get wrong about project Charters, and how to avoid the mistake. Get a Project Charter Template to define goals, constraints, responsibilities, and success measures.
This critical step transforms ideas into authorized action.

Learn how to identify and map key stakeholders, then pitch your project in a way that earns sponsorship and commitment.
You’ll use the Stakeholder Analysis Tool and Sponsorship Pitch Framework to build strong alignment before kickoff.
Additionally, you'll begin building your own Tribe of Mentors that will put the voices that matter in your corner of the ring and excel your career forward.
Engage the Team so that you're positioned for success and there's a synergy to drive momentum. You'll be introduced to the neuro-science behind motivation, and how to create the discipline that actually delivers results with an engaged team.

Get ready to lead your team with clarity and momentum.
You’ll learn how to prepare your Kickoff Slide Deck, and set clear expectations that make everyone feel invested from day one.
Then deliver a powerful kickoff meeting using facilitative leadership skills, the secret weapon that turns ordinary meetings into breakthrough moments of alignment.
You’ll learn how to guide discussions, encourage participation, and create buy-in that positions you as a leader and lasts throughout execution.
And you'll get the playbook for the first phase of your project, how to setup and run operating mechanisms that are fool-proof, and a clear set of next steps to keep your journey going with success.

Deliver Something That Matters... Every Time!
Rapid Project Management is designed to take somebody knowing nothing about project management --> to being able to initiate, plan, execute, track, monitor, control, and deliver value while managing any project.
Not just that. provides in-depth tutorials of advanced techniques to those who have basic understanding of project management.
Whether you are just starting out, or looking to take your skills to the next level RAPIDLY, the RPM Program is for you!
How does a lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to the member portal for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. Inside the program there are discussion boards, reference materials, notifications to events and engagements, additional resources, and much more.
Youtube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials than any individual is capable of watching on how to manage projects.
But a side effect of only learning on Youtube is that you'll waste dozens of hours learning the same thing, searching for tutorials only to find partial answers and not having precise knowledge of when to utilize project management techniques.
If you want to develop your skills FAST, then Rapid Project Management is for you.
Plus, what is your time worth? This program will save you months of frustrated time searching for answers, taking actions out of sequence making you have to start over and most likely, implementing less effectively than you would with a proven guide.
For some - that's $ well spent!
If your time isn't worth that yet...
Stick to Youtube until it is!
Keep in mind.... Youtube does not provide you with the same tailored toolkit, community, related references, and a continuation of value.
The first step to getting somewhere is to first decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
Many people think of investments such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. The best investment you can make is in YOU. While governments can and will tax you on traditional investments, nobody can take your knowledge away.
The sooner you learn new skills the longer you will have for those skills to pay you dividends.
