| Using Project Management for Academic Research | June 22, 2021 - 10:23am |
Led by Nicole Bennett from the Faculty of Management. A research project is similar to a business project in that they both have specific objectives, partners, risks, resources, a schedule, and budget that need to be adhered to.
