Management
of research projects on urban climate and climate change.
Within
the urban climate team at French Meteorological Researcher Center, I am in
charge of coordinating 4 major projects : VURCA (ANR), CLIM2, MUSCADE (ANR),
ACCLIMAT(RTRA STAE).
These
projects are related to city adaptation to climate change, and studies are
about : city vulnerability to heat waves, air conditioning impact on urban
climate, energy consumption and production within the cities, and decision
support tools based on numerical models. Multidisciplinary teams are involved,
as economists, urban planners, architects, geographers, …
Closely
working with senior scientists, I set projects organization : project team,
roles and responsibilities, communication rules and tools, quality standards,
detailed schedule, main deliverables, keys milestones, … Once projects are started, we then drive
and monitor these projects to ensure all participants keep focusing on the
defined objectives. I have set a WEB site as a communication tool for the
project team and for scientific community ( http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/vurca/)
Up
to 6 research projects are linked to each other at some point (same team, same
numerical model, …) and need to be closely coordinate to optimize workload. Control
charts have been created for each project and for the project portfolio.
Coordination
of submissions to national calls for projects
Following
a call for projects, or specific demand from customer, we evaluate the
opportunity for a new project, and then define this project : scope, goal,
constraints, major milestones, work break down structure, team, budget,
deliverables, risks, … All these items
need to be discussed and agreed by all participants to the project. An accurate
and exhaustive document is then provided for the submission or acceptance by
the customer. My role is to provide project management methodology to ensure
high quality level in this definition phase.
In
2008-2009, I have been involved into 4 major calls for projects.
Program
management training courses
For
3 years, I provide program management training courses. Dedicated to senior
people who need to increase their skills with program management, I teach
theoretical basis, practical study cases, and introduction to planning software
(Microsoft Project).
