Hello all,
I recently had the opportunity to take a professional project management
class, and couldn't resist taking the "free time" (free time? what's
that?)
to apply a basic project management tool to the Wikipedian in Residence
model.
The result? A "scope diagram" for what a typical Wikipedian in Residence
project looks like. Scope Diagrams include all stakeholders in a project
(anyone who will be involved in the related tasks), as well as each
stakeholder's inputs and outputs for the project. In other words, what each
person (or group) receives from the Wiki in Res, and what they provide.
This is analog style for now. We're talking sharpies and highlighters and
my teacher-like handwriting. Eventually I may type it all up, but no
promises any time soon. There is both the actual scope diagram chart and a
(hand-written) narrative version that will clarify the arrows for the
inputs/outputs.
Feel free to be inspired and/or share this with potential GLAMs who are
considering a residency. I basically type this out long-form over and over
and over in email inquiries. So I figure having a handy chart and talking
through it may prove valuable to a few of you.
Enjoy:
