“The training was very valuable and highly relevant to my role. I wish I had attended this earlier. It was both informative and practical, especially in understanding how to properly structure a project from start to finish. I gained a better appreciation of risk management and contingency planning, and how these should be integrated into project planning rather than treated as separate activities. The WBS exercise was particularly useful and engaging, as it allowed us to apply our knowledge in a practical way, including identifying risks, considering contingencies, and allowing appropriate buffers for cost and timelines. Overall, the course has given me more confidence in applying structured project management approaches in my work.” – Mylene from Serco
