About the Author

When Bonnie realized she was managing projects, her penchant for planning and follow-through kicked in and she earned a Project Management Professional (PMP)(R) certification from the Project Management Institute. When she isn't helping clients wrangle their software into submission, Bonnie writes about and teaches project management, bookkeeping, and technology. She has a knack for mincing these dry subjects into easy-to-understand morsels and then spices them to perfection with her warped sense of humor. Bonnie records courses on project management, Microsoft Project, and QuickBooks for LinkedIn Learning. She is also the author of Successful Project Management, which won an International Award of Merit from the Society of Technical Communication, QuickBooks: The Missing Manual, Your Project Management Coach, and several other award-winning books.
