Hello, there, I'm Margaret Collins. Welcome to "Managing Your Research Project".

This masterclass is not about any formal project management structure but based on my experience, as a researcher.

Over many years managing projects large and small as a PhD student, as a postdoc, as a lecturer and a senior lecturer, I've learned there are a number of areas that you need to deal with to manage your project successfully:
- yourself and your priorities
- the project itself
- other people

In this short masterclass, today, I will be looking mostly at the "project" aspects of this:
- how to plan your project
- understand the stakeholders
- define the scope
- identify risks
- manage tasks...

All of these are goodies and all of them are yours. Jump in and enjoy.

You can mark each lesson as done so you can keep track of your progress.
