Project one stop shop

Signpost icon

The one stop shop (.pdf, Essex users only) is a guide for Project Managers. It outlines the work required at the different stages of a project, together with toolkits, templates and guides for each piece of work.

Undertaking projects is vital to facilitating change and continuous improvement within our University and to achieve our strategic plan.

Projects can be big or small, at team level or across the whole University, and involve staff at all levels. We have created a range of supporting materials and templates so, no matter what type of project you are working on, you can find information and guidance to help you every step of the way.
