Introduction to Microsoft Teams and Planner

Introduction to Project Management
Suddenly everything is a project.
And yet very few people are taught the basic project management skills required to stand a chance of success.
This course is Happy’s response to the problem. This event (held as either a one day or a two day) is designed for new project managers or people with projects to manage but no clear planning process. By the end of the workshop, delegates will have a simple-to-use toolkit — and may be even the start of a project plan!
Our next one-day workshop is on 1st February.

You will learn through 12 x 2 hour online sessions, held fortnightly. You will also have self-guided assignments to complete through our Happy Leadership Portal on Fuse, with online resources available to access throughout the programme and beyond.
