The first step in project risk planning and management is identifying what the potential positive and negative risks are for your project and capturing these in the risk register.

Projects, just like anything in life, don’t always go to plan. If, or when, something goes wrong, or something unexpected happens with your project, you are likely going to have to alter your scope, outcome or possibly even resources to still achieve an effective outcome for your project and make the intended impact.

In Australia, there are codes and principles for the conduct of research that are adopted as legal requirements in various legislation.

There are several different types of risk that should be thought about when you’re setting up a project, but one of the most common risks are those related to internal communications within your project team

There is the need to write in any project you do. What needs to be written, and how much of your time it takes will be different for everyone, but most scientists will underestimate how much of their time will be spent writing.

How you write something versus how you say something can change the way your message
is communicated, and its effectiveness in reaching your target audience.

Timing is a very important aspect of research – especially regarding communication. .
