As I pointed out in my previous post, I had to do a "thesis" of sorts for my IPMA certification ("Transfernachweis" in German) - an examination of a real or fictional project from the point of view of all the major aspects of project management.The certification organization demanded a certain outline for this thesis, and I think this outline is useful enough that I will reuse it for the Brexit Project. The outline is listed below, and as I finish new posts for this project I will add them to this page. This does not necessarily represent a chronological list - as in my thesis, I expect to go back and forth between different subjects a lot - but it serves as a useful starting point.
