Co-led with the UVA School of Continuing and Professional Studies, this series is designed specifically for graduate students and postdocs and introduces core project management strategies to enhance the participants' work both within and beyond academia. Designed for real-time application, participants will guide a concrete deliverable (e.g., a collaborative grant proposal, travel to conduct archival research, intensive fieldwork logistics, piloting a new research method) through the project management life cycle, concept by concept.
This session will explore project planning options and effective strategies for establishing an overall project approach. Participants will learn best practices for collecting requirements, setting priorities, and defining scope, utilizing a Work Breakdown Structure to decompose project goals into manageable work packages.
