Introduction into Project Management

Working in projects is an important basis for innovation and continuous progress in all sectors of economy, science and society. It is therefore crucial for most academics to acquire appropriate project management skills for the successful planning and execution of projects.

In this workshop, basic methods and instruments (tools) of project management will be presented for the successive phases of projects. Various planning tools and analyses will be discussed, dealing with the objectives, stakeholders and risks of projects, among other things. In addition, it will be elaborated how methods from time and self-management can help to support the successful implementation of projects.

Case studies and practical exercises will be used to deepen the workshop contents and reflect on them in an application-oriented manner.

More information about the organizational procedure of the workshop will be provided in the kick-off meeting. The workshop allows for flexible timing with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning and working units.
