Every major project that’s ever been completed, from putting man on the moon, to developing COVID vaccines, has had one thing in common. And it shares it with smaller projects too: property developments, or the rollout of new software.

Sean Aylmer speaks to William Ryan, Managing Director of Project Management Planet, about why project management is a good career choice, and the importance of training and qualifications.
