From Project to Product: Effective Project Management and Strategic Planning

REGISTRATION NOT YET OPEN

November 5 and November 19, 2021, 1:00 pm–3:00 pm EDT

Instructor: Cristela Garcia-Spitz

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

While project management offers an array of tools and techniques, how do we lead with a people-centered approach? Digital scholarship increasingly requires work across distributed, cross-functional teams. This workshop will cover how to use hybrid methods to meet the needs of specific projects, grounded in community.

• Part 1 will consist of project management basics and an overview of different methodologies and tools. This section will include practical considerations and scenarios.
• Part 2 will focus on project management in practice and shared lessons learned from existing projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own projects to the discussion.

Collectively, participants will discuss how to think about the impact of our work and how to build systems of care that can empower our communities to make knowledgeable decisions in the curation of our cultural heritage and respectfully curate, preserve and provide access to those materials.
