Susan Schreibman, DHO, Jennifer Edmond, TCD, Shawn Day, DHO
10am - 5pm Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2
Abstract
Digital Humanities projects, like any other, require careful management if they are to be completed on time and on budget. This workshop will give an overview of the nature of the teams, tasks, and tools needed to successfully plan, implement, promote, and deliver these kinds of projects. Particular attention will be given to the role each team member plays in each project; motivating and managing teams; risk assessment techniques; project lifecycles and managing change; and to management tools, such as Gantt and authority charts, which can help the project team to maintain focus over the course of a multi-year project life span.
Note: Registration is limited. Place will be allocated on a first come first served basis to individuals associated with a HSIS partner institution (for a list of partner institutions please see http://www.dho.ie/partners.html)
Registration will close for partner institutions on 26 September 2008. After that places will be allocated to individuals outside HSIS institutions.
