While project management offers an array of tools and techniques, how do we lead with a people-centered approach? Digital scholarship increasingly requires work across distributed, cross-functional teams. This workshop will cover how to use hybrid methods to meet the needs of specific projects, grounded in community.

The morning will consist of project management basics and an overview of different methodologies and tools.
This section will include practical considerations and scenarios. In the afternoon, we will focus on project management in practice and share lessons learned from existing projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own projects to the discussion.

Collectively, participants will discuss how to think about the impact of their work and how to build systems of care that can empower their communities.
