If people cannot understand or find your project, the chances of it being highly successful are decreased.

It takes a certain kind of person, commitment and perseverance to be a successful scientist, in any field or application…but take a moment to think about all the skills that you have developed as a scientist.

Regardless of whether your project was a success, ended badly, or fell somewhere in between, there should always be a proper wrap up of the project.

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.

Not everyone is a subject matter expert in your field, which means things that seem “common knowledge” to you, are not common knowledge to others.

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.

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.
