Section 1: Plan for Project Success Getting organized and planning for success are essential business skills. Everyone managing teams and projects should be able to plan and organize effectively, have strong project management skills, undertake a SWOT analysis, and write a business plan.

In this first section you will see four short videos: • Project Management SWOT • Managing Projects Successfully • Planning and Organizing • Write a Business Plan
