Project Management
Project management supports the success of a project by working on all the intricacies that go into a team successfully completing the work in a timely manner. Many projects have numerous moving parts, unforeseen challenges, and complex dynamics happening in a non-linear fashion.
When I work in a project management capacity, I not only work to ensure that tasks are completed but also work on other important aspects that support the project that may not be explicitly articulated such as:
-
Relationships within the team and other stakeholders are formed and maintained;
-
Getting the word out about the project through a variety of means including conference presentations, organizing activities, and online presence;
-
Identifying new directions or collaborations; and
-
Working on the long or longer term sustainability (when applicable)
