If you or a colleague are leaving a role and thinking about how to manage transferring your client work to someone else, this is for you. It’s really important to do a smooth handover process, and there’s an email template in this article you can use to tell clients that you are moving on.

Across RebelsGuideToPM.com you’ll find guidance on: How to choose the right qualification for your...
