Are you preparing a grant application? Want to strengthen the management aspect of your proposal? Our new comprehensive guide to project management methodologies has you covered!
We have prepared a practical document that breaks down essential project management concepts focusing on research grant projects. The guide explains, for example:
- The Project Management Triangle – understand how time, budget, scope, and quality interact in your project
- Different scenarios of constraint management – learn to navigate when time, budget, or scope is fixed
- The MoSCoW method – prioritize your project requirements effectively
- Classical (Waterfall) vs. Agile approaches – choose the right methodology for your research project
Time Management Tools & Techniques
Besides that, the guide focuses on establishing proper time management strategies and applying various approaches. For example:
- Gantt chart
- Critical path method
- Milestones approach
- Program evaluation and review techniques
Risk Management in Research Projects
A separate chapter is dedicated to risk assessment. This part helps you identify potential risks in the project and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
This guide’s focus on scientific projects, where time and budget constraints often require flexible scope management, makes it particularly valuable for researchers. You’ll learn how to apply Agile principles in academic settings, when to use different project management approaches, how to apply them, and how to identify a risk connected with management.
Practical Applications
The document includes clear visual explanations and practical examples to help you articulate your project management strategy in grant applications.
