How to run your project
on time, on cost and on quality

What can it teach me?

Why do projects succeed, and why do they fail? How should they be defined before you start on them, and how should they be planned?

We all know that it’s the way projects are set up and run that make the difference. Yet knowing is one thing. As the owner or manager of a small business, having the wherewithal to do something about it is quite different

Which is where The Watershed can help

The half-day The Watershed Project Management Masterclass can guide you through the whole process, from half-formed idea right through to learning the lessons produced by a successfully completed project

• You will find how to make certain that your project will most effectively address the issue that it was set up to resolve

• You will learn about the critical role of a Project Manager — how to choose them and how they should work with a Project Champion with the power to give them the resources and back-up they need

• You will discover how to break the project down into manageable tasks. How to identify and deal with everyone who has a “stakeholding” in what you are doing

And all the time you will have the full resources of The Watershed at your disposal — plus the chance to meet and talk with other owner managers who, like you, are learning how to tackle projects for themselves.
