MAIN CURRENT ACTIVITIES
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 (see articles). 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.
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. I have also defined a WEB site as a communication tool for the project team and for scientific community ( http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/ville.climat/)
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, or junior who want to initiaite themselves to program management, I teach theoretical basis, practical study cases, and introduction to planning software (Microsoft Project).
