A Model of the Project development

■ Phase 1: Assess relevant research needs and opportunities

■ Phase 2: Identify the project idea

■ Phase 3: Design the project

■ Phase 4: Finance the project ( if necessary)

■ Phase 5: Implement the activities

■ Phase 6: Evaluate the results

Actions

1. List all project activities. Develop a single list of all activities planned.

2. Break activities into manageable tasks. Break activities first into primary and secondary tasks. The main consideration is getting the level of detail right.

3. Relate activates to each other in order to determine their sequence and dependence. Is the activity dependent on the start-up or completion of any other activity?

4. Draw up a timeline for each task , Each task should be given a start-up date, a duration and a completion date. The schedule should then be followed as closely as possible to the timeline.

5. Summarise the scheduling of all tasks.

6. Use milestones  to  document key events that provide a measure  of project progress and targets to aim for.

7. Define expertise : The level and type of expertise needed should be decided for each task separately. .
