Complete the Project Management Form
Your Navigator Project Manager will send you a link to the online Project Management Form. The form is an online Excel document and you can either fill in using a browser or download the form to edit in Excel - closing Excel and saving the form will automatically re-upload your changes (do not use Save As to change the location where it is saved).
Unfortunately, the form is quite lengthy, it allows us to capture the key information about the dealership, each department and the staff that you have, their roles and responsibilities.
An instructional video can be watched to help in filling the form in.
