Project management

In the project plan: Project Management

Project management kept a programme of more than thirty PhD candidates, seven knowledge institutions and some thirty co-financing organisations working as one team. The plan combined a quadruple-helix board of research, industry, government and citizens with an external advisory board, a programme director, biweekly scrum sessions, a shared physical space on the TU/e campus and shared software tools.

What the plan set out to do

Promises from the 2019 project plan, not results.

  • A quadruple-helix board of research, industry, government and citizens, chaired by Maarten Steinbuch, evaluating progress twice a year.

  • An advisory board of independent experts that meets yearly and comments publicly on progress and on the annual outlook.

  • Biyearly symposia for all project members, and an annual symposium with user committees.

  • Interim project reviews (months 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60), a mid-term report (month 30) and a final report to NWO (month 60).

  • Biweekly sprints from scrum sessions, supported by shared software (months 3-60).

  • A professional software development environment, including branching, for the shared model (months 5-60).

  • Virtual shared spaces and a website, including training (months 3-60), and a dedicated physical space on the TU/e campus.

  • A project risk register, and management of dissemination and entrepreneurship activities.
