1. What sort of projects are you sometimes required to plan?
The success or failure of a university project depends on the planning and programming of the activities necessary to achieve the objectives. For example, when carrying out a technological development project, we should be interested in improving knowledge applications by generating useful products or services, this implies new procedures and resources to improve a process or production of a service. 2. How do you plan a project? The first thing I do is define the topic in which I'm going to work. If this issue is assigned to me, I make sure to follow the instructions so as not to take further surprises. On the other hand, if I have the opportunity to choose, I choose a topic that is not too broad. In this way, I make sure not to confront large amounts of information, which will allow me to explore the chosen topic more in depth. 3. Do you consider yourself to be a good planner? Actually I strive to be a good planner, I use the tools that are within my reach, in order to manage and organize all the resources and achieve a good project. 4. What skills are required when planning a project? I believe that the main skills to plan a project are: • Organization: to carry out a project we must plan and gather all the information in an organized way. • Leadership: Leadership is a skill that is characterized by inspiring others a series of values and team decision making. • Negotiation: An average position must be maintained that gets the support of all the parties involved in the project. • Communication: Communication allows us to function correctly. • Global vision: This ability allows us to seek support, defend our project and develop it successfully.
