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 guide participants through the core dynamics of project execution, focusing on cost estimation, basic procurement, and structured change management. Attendees will implement best practices for tracking risks, issues, and action items while developing effective communication strategies to report project status.
