As the field of digital humanities has evolved, one of the biggest challenges has been getting the appropriate technical expertise to make traditional humanities projects successful. At its core this is a communications exercise. However, to communicate effectively involved been able to effectively translate, define and find clarity in your own mind.
How can you define your own project goals and objectives for yourself and to communicate with others?
This workshop is designed to help you clearly delineate your own digital project goals and objectives, account for the various stakeholders (some of which you may be unaware of), document and communicate these effectively to participants outside of your own area of research. Basically, it comes down to finding the means to get the right information, presented in the right manner, to the key people involved in your potential or real digital humanities project. Although this workshop goes hand-in-hand with the Digital Project Management Success workshop we also offer, these are complementary and not co-requisite.
At the end of this workshop participants will be capable of defining their project in simple and more universally appreciated terms, be cognisant of the varied demands that might be placed on the digital project by users, be capable of creating and delivering professional and effective Project Case Documentation.
