Project Management (May 18-19, 2022)
The main objective of this workshop is to strengthen one’s own attitude towards project management in order to be prepared for the challenges in everyday academic life and outside the university.
Contents
The focus of this workshop is on planning tools for successful project management. All participants apply their experience and knowledge in practical exercises.
The following elements of project management are discussed in more detail:
- Clarification of the contract
- Objective definition (expected results, process goals)
- Stakeholder analysis
- Phase model -> work breakdown structure (WBS) -> schedule
- Milestone plan
- Basics of risk management
So why should every PhD student take this course once?
Knowledge and methodology competences in project management are essential in many fields such as science, industry and administration. Yet in many organisations, institutions and companies there is a need for action in the selection and implementation of appropriate strategies.
The interactive nature of the seminar serves to pool your knowledge and experience in project management with those of other researchers. In particular, you will take a closer look at important steps at the beginning of a project. To deepen your knowledge, you can use planning tools as examples. The aim is to question and optimise your previous way of project planning.
Why are these issues important to you?
In almost all professions, PM is a foundation for successful cooperation and the realisation of one’s own goals and ideas. I believe that developing one’s own attitude and transforming carefully selected PM methods into one’s own actions are important skills for every postgraduate student.
