Priming the Pipeline: Applications of Project Management Strategies to Maximize Academic Productivity

jeudi 10 novembre 2016 à 14:15–15:00 MST
Fiesta 4 (24)
Session Abstract

Attention to workflow at all project stages is important for balancing competing obligations and ensuring consistent publication and funding. In this session, we present a conceptual model and strategies to help adult educators apply the model to research projects, program planning, writing for publication, and the pursuit of external funding.

Target Audience

This session is designed for adult educators who would like to improve their productivity by planning multiple projects with more strategy and intentionality. Practitioners and academics will glean valuable ideas and resources to bolster, or establish, productive project management habits for consistent research and publication output, program delivery, and to secure external funding.

Session Description

Adult educators in all specialties, including practitioners and academics, must plan and execute projects to deliver education programs, satisfy research and publication expectations, and secure project funding. With immediate deadlines (such as those for teaching, service, or administration) competing with longer-term goals (such as those for research or external funding), educators and academics must be intentional and strategic regarding their project planning and management processes.
In this session, presenters will share the pipeline model of project management, intended to help participants strategically plan their output and workflow. Presenters will draw from project management literature as well as proven approaches to academic productivity for those who seek a comprehensive and intentional approach, while incorporating presenters’ personal project management strategies and experiences. The innovation of this session derives from the application of the pipeline model of project management to academic research and publication.
