Project Management

Programme Features

This course will provide an overview of the skills and tasks required to develop, manage and successfully implement projects in busy organisations. The workshop will comprise mini-presentations and practical exercises.

  • Different types of library and information projects
  • Initial planning
  • Defining work tasks and work packages
  • Assembling and managing the project team
  • Working with virtual teams
  • Managing costs, resources and the schedule
  • The implementation phase
  • Reporting and completion

Why you should attend:

Projects are a fact of life in library and information environments. Whether they are big projects (such as implementing IT systems, setting up a website, conducting a customer survey) or on a smaller scale, (such as introducing a newsletter) all projects represent a steep learning curve for busy managers. The ultimate success of any project depends on vision, effective communication skills and good planning. By using tried and tested methods and techniques a project can be successfully completed without disrupting normal service routines.

On completing this course, you will be better equipped to:

  • define, plan, implement and complete a project
  • use established project management techniques and methods
  • effectively manage project staff, resources, and schedule
  • monitor and evaluate a project's progress
  • prepare to manage the resulting change at the outcome of a project
