Project management for dummies

I'm part of a nonprofit healthcare org's communications & marketing department. We all (3-6 of us) work well together, but lack actual processes or systems for doing our work. I'd like to learn how to create some. Explain like I'm a high school dropout, because I am.

I'm interested in learning about the principles behind effective work management for teams, I guess. And how to use those principles to develop processes that work for what we actually do.

Googling terms like "process improvement" or "project management" brings results about Lean and Sigma. I'm sure that there are manufacturing concepts that would be of value, but is there a more relevant discipline?

I'd love to take some online courses or something, but I'm not looking for anything too intense right now. A "For Dummies"-level explanation would probably work.

To be clear: not interested in app recommendations (Asana or Basecamp or Clickup or whatever) right now. Thanks in advance!
