Project Essentials

" I’m feeling really quite pleased with myself because not only have I used the stakeholder analysis matrix and the risk management matrix, I’ve done most of the PID document.  It was so helpful for me with my project – it helped clarify what I needed to do, when and how and gave me the clarity of what was in and out of scope."   Recent Project Essentials participant
