Introduction

Project Management is easy; we all know that it is just common sense. So why do so many of us get it wrong? Even if we get it right once, the next project is so often a failure. The answer is that, where Project Management is concerned we don't learn from our mistakes. We don't think about the process, document it, structure it, repeat it and use experience to improve it.

We provide two standard Project Management programmes. The one described below is Project Management Methodology, we also provide an Introduction to Project Management programme.
