Small Business Management — Module 5: Planning & Managing Projects
About Course
Growth is a project: a goal, a budget, a date and a way to count. This module teaches you to run one.
Planning & Managing Projects is the fifth of five modules in Small Business Management: Production, Value Addition and Export. It is built for people who make, grow or process something in Botswana, or run the services that producers need.
In seven lessons with Prof. Kitso you write a project charter, break the work down into a Gantt chart, manage risk, quality and contracts, lead a small team with written agreements and the minimum wage, set indicators and a monitoring plan, report to a funder, and get ready to sell to government through PPRA with an honest picture of local preference.
Every lesson has drawn diagrams, worked numbers in Pula and two practice boxes you can tap. The field tasks: a Gantt chart, a risk register and a first quotation.
The module ends with a quiz with full explanations and your Project & M&E Plan, marked by your teacher. Pass both to earn your Module 5 certificate.
Built, developed and assessed by qualified teachers. Aligned with HRDC priority skills. Stadira Training Institute, BQA-registered Consultancy, Reg. No. CON501, Gaborone, Botswana.
