The SNAPP Process: Elevate Your Project Management
Introduction to SNAPP
Welcome to the SNAPP Process, the ultimate project management methodology designed to ensure your projects are not just completed, but completed successfully. At Seed Project Solutions, we understand that effective project management is the key to turning visions into reality. That’s why we’ve utilise the SNAPP Process—a comprehensive, easy-to-implement methodology that guides your project team through every stage of the project lifecycle.
The Story Behind SNAPP
The SNAPP Process is not just another project management methodology; it is a process personally used and refined by our founder after meeting Ron Biagi the author of Make It Happen. Inspired by Biagi’s SNAPP principles, our founder saw the transformative power of SNAPP not only in business projects but in achieving success in life. This profound impact is what inspired the creation of Seed Project Solutions.
