STUDY GUIDELINE & INSTRUCTIONS

Hello ! Welcome to the Best Practice Survey.

Why are project assessments important? By doing project assessments you collect information about the desired outcome of the project. The project assessment covers historical data, lessons learned and other information in order to support the feasibility of the project's product. The project assessment will play a pivotal role in shaping the scope, budget and schedule discussions later in the project.
