Frequently Asked Questions

What is an accidental project manager?

An accidental project manager is someone who ends up running projects without ever being formally trained for it. They might be team leads, specialists, or managers who are asked to coordinate work, deliver initiatives, or solve problems alongside their day job. Iterato is designed specifically for these people – practical, jargon-free skills you can apply immediately.

Who is Iterato designed for?

Iterato is ideal for people who've been asked to "just run a project" alongside their primary job, first-time project leads, and anyone who wants to feel more confident and organised without becoming a certified specialist. It's built for real life – busy calendars, shifting priorities, and projects that need momentum.

Are Iterato courses industry-specific?

No. The principles we teach are universal and work across any sector — tech, construction, healthcare, education, charities, hospitality, professional services and more. The tools are designed to be flexible, practical, and easy to apply in real situations.

How long does it take to complete a course?

Courses are modular and self-paced. Each course can be completed in around 1–2 hours, each topic takes approximately 15 minutes. You can dip in and out as needed — perfect for busy professionals.

Do the courses include templates and tools?

Yes. Every course includes downloadable templates — schedules, budgets, change logs, scope tools, acceptance criteria, stakeholder maps, communication plans, risk registers and more. They're practical and easy to adapt to your organisation.

How are the courses structured?

Each course is broken into focused modules covering one core aspect of project management. Modules are presented as video seminars, and each includes:

• clear explanations and definitions of key concepts

• practical tools, templates and checklists

• worked examples

• short knowledge checks to reinforce learning

• techniques you can apply the same day

The structure stays consistent, so learning becomes familiar and easy to follow.

Do I get assessed or tested?

Each course includes opportunities to reflect on the learning and a summary of key points, along with short, informal knowledge checks at the end of each topic. There are no exams, no pass marks, and no pressure — the quizzes are there to help you check your understanding before moving on.

Is Iterato suitable for experienced professionals?

Yes. Even experienced project managers can benefit from a clearer structure, practical tools, and updated ways of working, particularly when they have learned on the job. Our courses and modules are designed to be relevant whether you're new to projects or have been leading them for years.

Do I need any software to complete the courses?

No specialist software is required. You'll need internet access, but anyone can watch the videos and download the handouts. The downloadable tools and templates are designed to work with everyday apps like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Google Docs.

Can I revisit modules after completing them?

Yes. Once enrolled, you can return to any video, template or tool whenever you need it with six months — ideal for just-in-time learning during real projects.

What makes Iterato different from traditional project-management training?

Most project-management courses only work if your whole organisation adopts the same methodology. Iterato doesn't. It gives individuals practical, everyday tools they can use immediately – even if no one else around them has had any training. It's lightweight, flexible, and built for real jobs, not rigid frameworks. And if several people in a team use it, you still gain consistency and shared language without the complexity or cost of a complete methodology.

Is Iterato based on PRINCE2, Agile or another formal method?

Not in the traditional sense. Many frameworks require an "all-or-nothing" commitment, which is why training often becomes theoretical when only a few people do it. Iterato skips the heavy methodology and focuses on practical tools that slot into whatever processes you already use. It's about making work more straightforward and easier, not about passing exams.

What is the main value Iterato provides?

Iterato gives you the benefits of structured project thinking without the overhead of a full methodology. It's modular, practical, and easy to adopt, helping you get projects moving, make decisions with confidence, and reduce stress from day one.
