This session will introduce library staff to the basics of project management. We will consider what we mean by a ‘project’ in the first place and discuss the different types of projects there are. This session will explain the different stages of starting, planning, implementing and closing a project and introduce some common terminology used in project management. It will outline some of the different project management methodologies so that participants can start becoming familiar with names such as Prince 2, Agile, Critical path and Integrated project management.

We will consider the various stakeholders that might work with the project team or who might be affected by the changes made, and what considerations we might need to make in order to create effective working practices.
