@willowbl00 I teach interns on how to handle complex, ambiguous projects in tech as part of their internship.
You can see the slides that I refer to here - https://figshare.com/articles/presentation/WEHI_RCP_Internship_Program_Welcome/28503338
The Research Computing Platform (RCP) is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary lab that supports and advocates for researchers and their computational research needs at WEHI.RCP has established a student internship program with subjects provided at the University of Melbourne. We did this to leverage the experience we have in the RCP of working with student software interns by collaborating with labs.This is the generic introduction presentation to explain the culture and expectations.Internal designation RCP#0026
Starting new projects on the right track is vital for their ultimate success. This is especially the case for librarians working on complex projects such as Research Data Management. It can be easy to divert important resources to target so-called “important” areas that are relatively unimportant. This can lead to a situation where, months or years later, the project is delivered but not utilised by key stakeholders. This presentation sheds light on three common errors: Establishing a team unsuited for the project, Being unable to connect with complex stakeholders, and Failing to reveal complexity at an early stage. By being aware of these mistakes, project managers can significantly improve project outcomes and increase the chances of utilisation by the key stakeholders. The pptx powerpoint version is more accessible than the pdf version.
