Project and Risk Management - INFO843
This unit consists of a number of essential biotechnology management themes: project management, risk management, agile methodologies and team management. Topics include project definition, roles and responsibilities, resource management, time and cost estimation, project planning, project control and reporting, measuring project success and post-implementation review. Microsoft Project 2010 is used to assist with resource allocation, costing and scheduling. The International Standard, ISO 31000, gives us excellent guidance on risk management. Agile methodologies are particularly relevant given the complexity and rapid change that characterise R&D projects. Finally, the unit considers understanding organisational culture, politics and how to manage local and global teams.
