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.
