Time and Project Management: Using the IPTO to Communicate with your Supervisors / ONLINE

Graduate School of Health Sciences at Aarhus University

To create a framework for integrating project management tools into the interaction between supervisors and Ph.D. students.  The content includes a pre assignment and a post assignment asking you to work together with your supervisor, agreeing on how to use these tools in your communication about progress.  These tools enable you both to integrate planning for key decision points related to your Ph.D. project.  In addition, you will be introduced to the PDCA framework, which stands for Plan-Do-Check-Act.  This framework will be used to reflect on how to optimize your independent work through Plan-Do; and your work with others through Check-Act.
