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 cover the fundamentals of project initiation, including the purpose of a project charter and how to create one. Learners will discover how to assess their project environment to build context-sensitive management plans while mastering strategies to identify, monitor, and address stakeholder needs using a stakeholder register.
