Small-business owners will have an opportunity to get a better handle on their to-do lists and keep their work projects on track Thursday, April 13.

Bridget Manley and Daniel Patterson will present a Wyoming Community Navigator Program (CNP) webinar titled “Introduction to Project Management Software” from 11 a.m.-noon. To register, go here. Registration is free.

The Wyoming CNP, through the Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network at the University of Wyoming, provides small-business resources and assistance for traditionally underserved entrepreneurs throughout Wyoming.

During this interactive webinar, small-business owners will discover how to use project management software to manage teams, keep track of deliverables and coordinate product development. They also will explore some of the most common project management tools available and develop criteria for evaluating which one is best for their businesses.
