Leadership Skills Worksheet: Project Time Management

Leadership lesson 4: Managing time on a project · Set 626 · 40 questions

Leader's tip (Steps, dates, spare days): List the steps and give each step a number of days and a mini-deadline. Days needed = add up the steps. Spare days = days you have − days needed.
