It is important to have key messages for your research ready to go so that you can effectively communicate your work in a way that it is easy for most people to understand.

Projects are defined by three main constraints – time, cost and quality. Managing the budget is part of the third stage of project management documentation to mitigate project risks.

There are more elements to a presentation than just what goes on PowerPoint slides and what you say.

It can be difficult to identify risks and the impact they might have on your project because you don’t know what you don’t know!

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.

Humans are constantly weighing the costs and benefits of decisions, but how do you know what a risk is? Or what a risk looks like?

A scientist is one of the few professions where failure means progress. No one wants their project or experiments to fail, but a large part of science is failing and learning it.

The scope of your project is what you are contracted or obliged to do with the time and funding provided, this is what is considered ‘in scope’ for your project.
