Scientific Method and Project Management
The success or failure of a project typically hinges on the application of sound project management fundamentals. Far too often, projects are not completed on time, within scope, and within budget since the process of managing the basic and critical elements of a project have not been clearly thought out, documented, and implemented. For engineering and technical projects, application of the scientific method should be embedded in the project plan as a task. This task is very often overlooked, and can be the cause of project failures, especially for those projects that are technical and deemed complex. This webinar addresses the use of a simple project management scheme, and how the scientific method can be embedded as a task in the project’s execution phase. Personal examples will be shared.
Who will Benefit
Industry, Manufacturers, Governmental Agencies, Universities, Construction, and other organizations that conduct projects – especially technical, engineering, and scientific.
In cooperation with Laser Product Safety LLC
