Contact with Marie-Louise has been pleasant from the start. She took the time to properly understand our needs and goal. She defined the quick scan approach in good collaboration. Scan included situation analysis, interviews with colleagues, conclusion, and advice how to proceed.
For us very useful to build further actions upon. I can recommend working together with Marie-Louise.

"By following this course I keep an overview of the different phases in a project"
Sandra
former student
The course is designed in such a way that the project structure and phases can be clearly followed, even for employees who have no experience in project management. The modules are well-arranged and can be easily stored so that they can always be used for a new project and as a reference work. The spreadsheets are clear and easy to use per project.
"It guides you through the entire project management process with a number of handy tools and templates"
Luc
former student
The course had a clear flow and structure. It is a real course for people like me who have no experience in managing large projects. A number of templates are clearly designed for a product development process. With a few very small adjustments, these forms can be used for other projects, such as a webshop/customer portal implementation in my case. This course helps you to shape your project well and is therefore definitely recommended.
