Project management isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s the backbone of efficient, goal-aligned course creation. As instructional designers, we’re not just building content. We’re managing timelines, collaborating with stakeholders, navigating revisions, and ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
What Great Project Management Looks Like:
- Clarity: Everyone knows their role and the destination.
- Consistency: Milestones, deadlines, and templates keep the process humming.
