Discussion on the Weekly Average Overview Table
Baseline and Stretch Goals Series
In this series of written resources and accompanying YouTube videos we will explore how project management and strategic planning can be used to support a more just world that allows humans to be human. The spirit of baseline goal-setting is to be realistic about what is possible, find ways to share the load, and make space to dream, grow, and connect. We plan for the inevitable ways that the world and our individual lives are too much sometimes.
Start with Tools for folks in academia to move collectively and share the load for an overview of the basics of this series and Dr. Little’s background.
In this YouTube video Dr. Angie Little, Dr. Fatima Abdurrahman, and Dr. Joel Corbo have an in-depth discussion about a project management tool, how to use it in practice, graduate student advocacy, and how project management involves life-long learning. A quick overview of tool that helps people gain an understanding of an average week is provided at the beginning for context. An in-depth written resource with more information can be found, below.
Our First YouTube Discussion! We discuss the weekly average overview table.
Getting on The Same Page: Creating an Overview Table for an Average Week
Before the semester begins, the mentor and postdoc can have a conversation that leads to the table’s creation. Then, about a month into the semester, it is helpful to check in on the table. Did we completely miss something? Is the timing way-off on something else? This allows for some quick course-correction if needed.
