Develop your project management skills | Fit for the Future

Whether you’re organising an art exhibition, a community project, or an event, you need project management skills. We’ve developed this guide specifically for young people to get you start on your project management journey – it might sound dull or complicated, but we promise it’ll help you get the highest impact from your project idea.

What will you learn in this guide?

ORGANISATION – Getting every aspect of your project planned and accounted for not only makes the project more likely to be a success, but reduces stress on you.

EFFICIENCY – We know you’re busy, with lots of demands on your time. A structured approach means you can use your time and resources more efficiently, avoiding unnecessary delays, overspending, and stress.

ACHIEVING GOALS – If you’ve got clear objectives and a well-defined plan, you’ve got more chance of successfully achieving the goals of your project.

PROBLEM SOLVING – Every project comes with challenges; good project management equips you with the tools to anticipate potential problems, develop solutions, and handle challenges.

TEAM COLLABORATION – Whether you’re working with peers or managing a team, project management fosters better communication and collaboration.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH – As well as helping your current project, developing project management skills will enhance your CV and career prospects, making you more attractive to future employers and collaborators.

This guide explains all the key concepts you need to know and gives step-by-step instructions on how to develop your project plan. What are you waiting for? Download the guide here and get started.
