This project plan template encourages you to record project milestones, quoted hours, task start and due dates, task owners and lists the tried and true steps followed by an award-winning eLearning studio to deliver a successful eLearning project.
Project management is crucial for any successful eLearning project. Actually, project management is crucial for any project for that matter. Imagine building a house without a plan or filming a movie without a script? The same goes for eLearning projects.
You need to understand the full extent of what the project involves, what is required of you and the exact steps required to get there.
Also, why wouldn’t you want to use a process generated from years of experience from an award-winning studio? ;)
This template is a tried and true project plan that we have generated over time for our eLearning studio, Belvista Studios. From completing multiple eLearning projects over multiple years for a diverse range of clients, our team has obtained a deep understanding of what is required for a successful eLearning project plan.
We are inspired to share our process to enable you to successfully manage your projects and in turn empower you to understand and plan for the project ahead.

FAQ

How will I know how long tasks will take? Do you have a guide for time estimates?
This part we can’t help with as we would need to know the scope of the project. Basing it on previous projects you have worked on is a good place to start.
