Research Project Management and Leadership

P. Alison Paprica

The project management approaches which are used by millions of people internationally are often too detailed or constraining to be applied to research.

In this handbook, project management expert P. Alison Paprica presents guidance specifically developed to help with the planning, management, and leadership of research. Research Project Management and Leadership provides simplified versions of globally utilised project management tools, such as the work breakdown structure to visualise scope, and offers guidance on processes, including a five-step process to identify and respond to risks. The complementary leadership guidance in the handbook is presented in the form of interview writeups with 19 Canadian and international research leaders, each of whom describes a situation where leadership skills were important, how they responded, and what they learned. The accessible language and practical guidance in the handbook make it a valuable resource for everyone from principal investigators leading multi-million-dollar projects to graduate students planning their thesis research. The book aims to help readers understand which management and leadership tools, processes and practices are helpful in different circumstances, and how to implement them in research settings.
