Effective project management is critical to the success of most eLearning projects. It’s what makes sure all of the individual pieces of the program are delivered on time, on budget, and at the quality defined in the project scope. In short, project management is what keeps eLearning projects on track. Unfortunately, project management is also something that the designers and/or developers need to focus on when there isn’t a dedicated project manager for a particular project.
