They are organized around the types of things that need to get done in typical projects. For some of things you need to get done there are formal methods, for some there are tactics or practices that you should check out. An entire book could be written about the subject, this is just a way in. \begin{tabular} \subsection{Contents} \begin{itemize} \item \hyperlink{Starting_Projects}{1Starting Projects} \item \hyperlink{Running_Projects}{2Running Projects} \begin{itemize} \item \hyperlink{How_to_digitize_materials_and_gather_data.3F}{2.1How to digitize materials and gather data?} \item \hyperlink{How_to_develop_an_interface_for_a_web_site.3F}{2.2How to develop an interface for a web site?} \item \hyperlink{How_to_get_programming_done_right.3F}{2.3How to get programming done right?} \end{itemize} \item \hyperlink{Wrapping_Projects_Up}{3Wrapping Projects Up} \item \hyperlink{Other}{4Other} \end{itemize} \end{tabular}\hypertarget{Starting_Projects}{} \subsection{ Starting Projects } \begin{itemize} \item How to get support for a project, including how to get grants? \item How to work out realistic objectives for a project after it has been approved? \item How to figure out the needs of stakeholders? \item How to do a literature review? \item See \href{/index.php/CIRCA:Literature_Review}{ Reviewing the literature.} \item How to do an environmental scan? \item When do you need ethics clearance and how to get it? \item How to formulate interesting questions, challenges and objectives? \item See \href{/index.php/CIRCA:Question_Formation}{ How to form a question.} \end{itemize}\hypertarget{Running_Projects}{} \subsection{ Running Projects } \begin{itemize} \item Scrums are an agile process for getting things done.
