Project Coordination Skills for Administrative Professionals

Prepare administrators to support projects effectively as coordinators who keep tasks, documents, schedules and people organised. Participants learn to maintain action logs, track milestones, arrange project meetings and manage the flow of information without needing to be qualified project managers. Across African organisations, capable administrative coordinators are often what keeps a project moving between the formal review points.

What you will be able to do

  • Maintain action logs and task lists that keep a project on track.
  • Track milestones and flag slipping deadlines early.
  • Arrange project meetings and record the resulting actions.
  • Manage project documents, versions and shared folders.
  • Coordinate information flow between team members and stakeholders.
  • Support the project lead with progress updates and reporting.
