Course Summary
A well-managed project requires collaborating and using the given resources to achieve its goal. It must do this within a given budget and using a planned schedule. Digitisation is a newer technology that means less time can be wasted in meetings and lost working time. It enables projects to operate more transparently and offers ease of communication, reducing costs. Learning how to manage digitised projects is vital as there can be risks surrounding deliverables. When a project fails, it can be determined it was because one of the components, change request, adoption failure, scope creep, or requirement management, failed, and the aim of using digitation is to reduce the risk of loss at any stage.
Digital libraries give everyone involved much more access to resources and provide a trail of changes and viewing history. It also offers better copyright and protection validity. Digital libraries are constantly evolving as a new technology, so this course aims to provide insights into the latest best practices. It will guide anyone involved in project management to ensure efficiency, enabling a project to be completed on budget and within the required time constraints.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Develop an adequate digitisation policy.
- Explain digitisation planning, monitoring and budgeting.
- Confidently understanding digitisation difficulties related to Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
- Learn project digitisation best practices
- Determine the best digitisation technology for each project
- Apply project management techniques when using project digitisation
This course is intended for
- Project managers
- IT Managers
- Account managers
- Program managers
- Digital practitioners
- Business sponsors
- Technical managers
- All professionals involved in project management or digitisation
Teaching takes place in a variety of settings, including face-to-face classroom teaching. It will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skill set. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will require submitting articles to demonstrate understanding and an end-of-course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices.
The course manual will form part of the learning but will give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one-on-one with your tutor to review any issues. During your time in the classroom, you will be able to network with peers in similar roles.
