I have started a series of videos on the implementation of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act 2015 and its amendments. This video makes the point that the span of control of the Office of Procurement Regulation is too wide and this can affect its ability to manage high value high impact projects. Click on the video to go to YouTube. My channel is called Growing businesses with projects. You can visit it for all the videos that deal with this topic. If this seems to be something you want hit the SUBSCRIBE button and I will see you in the comments.

This video shows how to make a Gantt chart, starting with setting up the work breakdown structure inclusive of its numbering system, finding predecessor relationships in Microsoft excel, finding end dates of tasks using the workday function (this function also allows you to exclude weekends. Using the weekday function and conditional formatting, you then colour code weekends and you then manually block out the holidays. This then allows you to manually block out the duration of tasks now that both holidays and weekends are colour coded.

Check out my recently started youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCVQj-_Tm-7H2Q7kqSm4HbQ

My channel is called Growing businesses with projects. It targets the ordinary man who wants to understand and apply the principles of project management, business development, strategic planning, life skills and spiritual development. It is about making these areas easy to understand and apply to their situations. The channel also targets businesses and persons that have been stuck at one level and shows how they can use projects - to bring about change and move from one level to another.

It will produce simply presented tutorials and informative videos, discuss tools and techniques and best practices on these areas including procurement. I believe that in everything you do you have to include God our creater- Jesus Christ, hence the spiritual development aspect targeting the whole man.

This training programme is intended to help project managers and project personnel properly achieve project success through the proper management of project scope. Jim Stewart on www.projectmanagement.com gave as the number one reason for project failure, scope creep. The PMBOK® Guide describes scope creep as “adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time, costs, and resources, or without customer approval” (PMI, 2008, p 440).https://www.fftsbiz.com/project-scope-management/

Investopedia has indicated that as of March 2021 only 80% of startups survived after one year. I propose that small business start-ups fail, not only because of poor business management, but also because of poor project management. Why should I say this? WORK comprises Operations and Projects. Operations sustain the business but projects bring about change. Starting a new business is a project and has to be done using project management methodologies. https://www.fftsbiz.com/failure-of-small-business-start-ups-poor-project-management/
