Objective
Background The management of FP6 projects will have to master a multitude of different challenges in order to make them successful. Professional management tools and techniques are then needed. On the one hand, first experiences have shown that project coordinators are already intensively looking for powerful management tools and techniques and sometimes also consider the possibility of developing such tools. On the other hand, some powerful tools already exist which are being used in related fields and, after minor adjustments, could be adopted for the management of the new FP6 instruments. Vision & objectives of the SPARK project: SPARK vision is to foster Excellence in the Practice of Project Management through processes, tools and standards which are recognized and consistently applied either already by LSH managers or by other professional managers. The main objective of SPARK is to establish a reference pool of key management processes, methods and tools based on LSH project experiences for LSH project needs. The sub-objectives are; - To collect Project Management practices and organize cross-fertilization within a representative sample of 6th Framework Programme projects - To evaluate for this sample the path to follow in order to police reachable best practices found mainly on the private market - To accompany actors in their learning and integration of new management practices Mission of SPARK team: Assist in improving the understanding and competency of experienced and new project management practitioners. To accomplish this SPARK will challenge current practices, assess them according to a unique frame, identify best-in-class practices within the projects under scrutiny and define, document and champion the best practices which can be implemented within research projects in order to achieve their goals. To be visible, the approach will be pragmatic (approbation milestones with the beneficiaries of the project) and will...
