Project management
Guiding Projects to Completion
Project management at JG is aimed at creating an inclusive, fun, and detailed process to provide general oversight for each project. Our project managers fall into two categories: project managers and research managers. Project managers specialize in coordinating our staff and our project partners to complete tasks and meet deadlines and objectives. Our research managers apply these same skills while also bringing content and methodological expertise to the project team.
We provide the personal, organizational, and strategic skills to guide your projects to completion. Timelines and deadlines for special projects can be a burden to partner organization staff whose daily work already strains their capacity. As your project partners, we facilitate progress by providing oversight, managing the work conducted internally and externally, offering succinct and frequent updates on project progress, and maintaining the communication necessary to fulfill the goals of the collaboration.
