Watermark Learning Offers Small Project Management Course - Offers Electronic Project Templates to Help Avoid Rework

Watermark Learning launches its new training course; The Critical Steps to Managing Small Projects to help businesses effectively manage small projects and avoid costly mistakes.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 2 2004--Watermark Learning, a leading project management and requirements analysis training company, today announced the launch of its new training course; The Critical Steps to Managing Small Projects.

As a result of reduced staff sizes, smaller budgets and iterative IT lifecycle development, businesses are increasingly breaking large projects down into smaller initiatives. In order to effectively manage small projects, project management methodologies and frameworks designed for large projects are typically cumbersome and overkill.

On the other hand, due to the nature of projects being smaller, it is often tempting for businesses to skip the planning phase and dive right into work. Unfortunately, without a disciplined approach to managing the small project, essential steps are sometimes skipped, done out of order or done later than desired.

We help project managers of small projects avoid costly mistakes made by executing too soon," said Richard Larson, Watermark Learning principal. Our new course, Managing Small Projects, educates our clients to recognize stakeholders early in the process in order to avoid both resentment and rework."

The Critical Steps to Managing Small Projects is a practical two-day course with numerous hands-on workshops that encourage use of Watermark Learning electronic project templates.
