Get started on your project!
What’s a project and what does it mean to work in a project?
How does a project model work?
When are projects appropriate and when aren’t they?
What are the benefits of working in projects and what is important to keep in mind?
The project format is not a new concept but it is more relevant than ever before. The situations where we have things to gain when we work across traditional borders and where we can make use of each other’s strengths and differences are increasingly more, not less common.
However, there are pitfalls! Often, projects are initiated without having clear roles, responsibilities, goals, and resources.
In long-term projects, it is wise to work on both gradual preparations and gradual deliveries.
