Research projects--whether seminar papers, conference presentations or posters, theses, or dissertations--require a host of project management strategies and skills to keep things on track and to make the process as minimally stressful as possible. The resources below provide a starting point for learning about and applying project management frameworks, strategies, and techniques in the context of research projects and programs.
Tools can be an important part of project management, and we've highlighted a few below. Remember, though, that effective research project management is both a practice and a process; it requires intentionality, reflection, and revision. So while tools can help us with research project management, it's not something that they can do for us.
