Prior to his work at TeamGantt, he worked as a digital project management consultant and coach, focused on solving issues that are important to organizations that want to produce quality digital projects in harmony. He loves to build processes and communication tactics that work not only for projects but for the people involved in them. In that role, he worked with organizations like Navy Federal Credit Union, Simple, and a number of digital agencies. Prior to that, he served as Vice President of Project Management at Happy Cog, a digital agency based in Philadelphia, and as a senior PM at Razorfish.

Brett began blogging about his adventures in project management at brettharned.com when he realized there was a void in the industry for people in the digital PM role. Since then, he has had the privilege to speak at various events internationally and has written for widely read industry websites and publications. His first book Project Management for Humans was published by Rosenfeld Media in July 2017, and his podcast Sprints and Milestones was launched in April 2018.
