About this event:
About this event:
This one-hour session aims to introduce you to a few key concepts and tools from the world of project management that we hope you will find useful. The session will give you a brief flavour so that you can go and read up on the techniques in more detail afterwards at your own pace. The course covers:
Mike Prior-Jones is a glaciologist with a background in engineering and a formally-trained project manager. He was originally a broadcast engineer at the BBC and then worked for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), spending the winter at Rothera station in 2006 with responsibility for communications and IT. He then studied for a PhD with BAS and the University of Leicester on polar radio communications before moving to the private sector where he worked as an R&D engineer and project manager. In 2019 he joined Cardiff University to work on the Cryoegg project. From January 2022 he will be a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow with a seven-year programme to develop new wireless instruments for making measurements of glaciers and rivers.
- An introduction to project management – and why you're probably doing it already without realising
- Project planning tools: network diagrams and Gantt charts
- Tools for operating your project and working together with other people: Kanban boards, budgets, timesheets
- People skills tips and techniques: how to get other people to do things for you, communicating by email, dealing with busy people
- Dealing with bad situations: managing your manager/supervisor, setting boundaries, how to say no
