\"planningImage5\"We have long been admirers of the Community Edition of Project in a Box.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This great, free resource is one we always recommend to our charity clients – being a great way think about, plan and deliver projects using the bones of the recognised Prince 2 methodology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PIAB have just released a new version of the free Community Edition which offers more project planning templates for those less demanding, less layered projects.<\/p>\n

You can use the three step template<\/a> (or the five step for more detailed project planning) in the new system to clearly map your thinking about project formulation, inception and delivery.<\/p>\n

If your Third Sector organisation has previously felt rather pale when reviewing project planning methodologies or software like MsProject<\/a>, then this new Community Edition is just for you.<\/p>\n

The new version is also bundled with Planner, another great free resource from PIAB. Check out the PIAB web site for more details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you can get, as a beginner, past some of the language – then this free download is a great resource for helping you think clearly about projects, how they are delivered and how they are reported about when finished. If you are expert, this is still a great resource too.<\/p>\n

PIAB – we recommend it.<\/p>\n
