    This 90-minute webinar, developed by Dr. P. Alison Paprica, PhD, PMP, and offered through the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS), explains how to use three one-page project management tools to plan and manage research:
    1. The work breakdown structure (WBS): a one-page tool to establish a common high-level understanding of research scope expressed in terms of deliverables.
    2. The deliverable-based Gantt chart: a one-page tool to describe when and how the deliverables of the research will come together
  • 3. The deliverable-based tracking sheet: a one-page tool to identify emerging risks and drive progress at a more granular level during the implementation phase of the research.
