Project Management for Small Business & Charity

A practical, evidence-based guide to help Irish organisations get stuff done on time, on budget, with the right people on board.

Collaborative Meeting

Why this guide exists ?

Ireland has over 250,000 small and medium enterprises and more than 10,000 active charities and community organisations. Most run projects every day, fundraising campaigns, IT upgrades, service expansions, rebranding but few have formal project management training. This guide changes that.

Did you know?

According to the Project Management Institute's Pulse of the Profession report (PMI, 2023), organisations with mature project management practices waste 28 times less money than those without. For a small charity with a €100,000 budget, that's the difference between wasted resources and fulfilled mission.

Why choose this guide?

For Small Business

Whether you're launching a new product, opening a second location, or implementing new software, this guide gives you structured methods that actually work at your scale.

For Charities & NGOs

Running projects with volunteers, tight budgets, and donor accountability requires its own approach. We address governance, reporting, and stakeholder complexity head-on.

Evidence-Based

Every recommendation is grounded in established frameworks, PMBOK, PRINCE2, Agile and adapted for the Irish context with real examples and case studies.
