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.

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...
