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 introduce the core value of project management and clarify key differences between products, projects, and ongoing operations. Participants will explore foundational methodologies, comparing predictive, agile, and hybrid options to determine the best approach for different project environments.
