Project Management: Get it right first time...
Rarely do Project Managers receive training before they take on the role, so it's good that much of it is common sense!

However, projects can fail quite spectacularly if the Project Manager takes their eye off the ball, which could result in clawback of funding, loss of jobs and difficulty in the organisation securing future funding.
