Using Project Management for Academic Research

(Hosted by Professional Development and Training - Business and Management)

Presentation by Nicole M. Bennett

This is an Introduction to Project Management Principles to Benefit Academic Research.  The application of Project Management principles to Academic Research is getting more attention as the parallels and benefits are evident.  A research project is like any other business project: there are specific objectives, partners, risks, a limited timeline, resources, and budget.  Academics and researchers could benefit from many of the tools and techniques available in the Project Management Body of Knowledge.  Join this session and start with five!   After learning about these tips and templates, you should be able to better plan, manage and control your research project.
