Project Charter
We put the following common sense points together to aid the smooth running of our projects. These points are based on our experiences over the years and are simply here to help clarify both yours and our expectations from the very outset of your project. The majority of projects will run for around 6 months, so being clear on this from the beginning should ensure that we all know what to expect and allow us work together to achieve your project goals. If you have any questions with any of the points below then do get in touch.
