Effective STEM project management: a research study on best practices and strategies
| Resumo: | Project management is a multifaceted subject that encompasses a multitude of areas of knowledge, gathered together to move towards accomplishing a goal. This work aims to identify good practices and strategies in project management that will be implemented and that have been achieving satisfactory results in a European Project funded by the Horizo Europe program at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), Portugal, which aims to enhance and increase IPB’s capabilities within the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering) together with EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion). Through a series of surveys, assessments, measurement and comparison of internal key performance indicators this case study was made possible. Within this work, a data acquisition standard was defined and tailored for the particular project together with a risk assessment framework for monitoring, controlling and steering the project’s activities according to its performance. A group of actions and strategies were developed in order to equip the team for future project iterations, based on the enhancements identified through the initial outcomes. In conclusion, this work shall serve as a useful source of enlightenment, benchmarking foundation for future projects with similar environments and final targets such as the ones here entailed. |
