Project-Ready-Go!

Project-Ready-Go is a short 3-day program that steps you through the project management planning phases to get your project ‘shovel ready’.

Getting a project ‘shovel ready’, whether that is ready to pitch, launch, seek funding or actually start, takes time and careful planning.

We will step you through the following:

Understanding and refining the why, what and how of your project through developing a Project Plan
Mapping the timeline of your project in a GANTT chart
Estimating income and expenses in your project Budget template
Assessing potential project risks and noting them in a Risk Register
Mapping the people to be involved in or informed about the project in a Community Engagement Plan
Consider what key messages will need to be delivered over the course of the project and noting them in a Communications Plan
Knowing what community grants are available and how to complete a Funding Application.

This is a great opportunity to meet people across the region who are engaging in project management for the first time or brushing up on their skills. We will draw on all those in the room to finesse your planning over the three sessions and get your project ready to go!
