Workshop Description
You’re involved in a variety of projects every day, from such small projects as developing a new procedures manual to such large projects as digitizing a collection. But because project management methodologies aren’t automatically included in formal education or many archival education programs, you’ll want to take advantage of this workshop to acquire the basic knowledge and tools necessary for managing successful projects.
After completing this workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Understand the project life cycle from initiation to completion;
- Utilize effective project management tools and techniques;
- Evaluate project outcomes and disseminate project information; and
- Demonstrate how positive personnel management adds to a successful project.
Who should attend? This is an introductory workshop that can also be taken as a refresher course on project management. Project team members who want to become more active in – and achieve a better understanding of the workings of – their own projects are also welcome.
