Description
Learning alternative ways to plan and coordinate projects is an essential professional skill, especially in the arts and humanities, where projects are often emergent and hard to map out. This workshop introduces flexible project planning frameworks as supportive tools to foster iteration, collaboration, and efficiency beyond traditional productivity culture.
The first part of the workshop will introduce traditional, agile, and hybrid project planning frameworks, exploring how they can be tailored to suit different projects and adapted to address specific needs. For instance, participants planning an event with a predetermined timeline and outcome may need strategies to break complex tasks into manageable phases. Others developing new creative work or collaborative projects may require flexible planning approaches that allow for iterative feedback and adjustments as ideas evolve.
Later we will introduce visual planning tools, including Kanban boards and Gantt charts, and provide an overview of free online project management apps.
Attendees will experiment with the frameworks and tools learned and apply them to their own projects. They will also walk away with a template to plan and pitch projects.
