Research Portfolio Analysis: Project Management
Train your team on your schedule. Contact us to book your training.
Though not required, we recommend that participants take Research Portfolio Analysis: Framework & Design prior to registering for this course.
Research Portfolio Analysis: Project Management focuses on framing analyses and determining the criteria needed to ensure that decisions about your research portfolio are data-driven. By contrast, this training is designed to enable you to effectively manage a research portfolio analysis using tools and processes that will ensure any analysis you complete is well documented, rigorous, reproducible, and transparent.
We will introduce you to the ARI Toolkit for Analysis Project Management. In order to support effective data and analysis project management, this toolkit includes a series of templates that will guide you through the principles and processes that result in an efficient and high quality project.
