Project Management for Scientists Bootcamp (PMB25Sp)
March 31 - April 17
Our spring offering of the Project Management Bootcamp for Scientists (PMB25Sp) will run on Mondays and Thursdays beginning Monday, 31 March until Thursday, 17 April.
The key dates are:
- Monday lessons: 31 March; 7, 14 April at 12-2pm EDT / 4-6pm UTC
- Thursday Co-Labs: 3,10,17 April at 12-2pm EDT / 4-6pm UTC
This six-session bootcamp intensive offers a grounding in the basics of project management, tailored to apply to specific STEM contexts and with a strong emphasis on the interpersonal considerations that support successful collaborative work. This training draws upon a core text, The Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, with materials contextualized for STEM scenarios and applied to custom STEM case studies by CSCCE staff.
Over the course of this training, participants use CSCCE-created templates to create a Project Canvas describing the three key domains of a project (Foundation, People, and Creation) and the three building blocks of each domain (which include the project’s purpose, benefits, stakeholders, sponsor, and the plan for delivery and evaluation).
We use detailed STEM-specific case studies to support participants with completing the Project Canvas in small groups, with application sessions intended to aid participants in applying the concepts to their own project. In our experience, this provides the most value – supporting high fidelity acquisition of key concepts as well as dedicated time to make progress on individual projects with instructor support.
Deadline to register: 25 March 2025
