Managing your research project
This section will help you will think about the skills you possess and help you to manage your research project more effectively. It introduces time and project management tools to help you to achieve this.
Due to the complexity of a doctoral research project an effective researcher will be good at:
- setting realistic objectives
- managing their own time
- managing the resources, priorities, expectations and outcomes associated with the project itself.

Please could you set up a gant chart style planner in the Research Development Framework (RDF) as this would be more useful than the wall planner in the pdf document 'Planning your Doctorate Schedule for Success'. The wall planner is good as a basic idea but it doesn't have the space to add and amend and draw in overlapping timelines for ongoing actions. I know it is possible to draw your own in an excel document but it would fit nicely with the Vitae resources of the RDF. Thank you
