Project Management in the Digital Humanities
This four-day workshop series covers the entire lifecycle of a Digital Humanities project: Data Acquisition, Cleaning and Pre-processing, Data Analysis, and Data Visualization. It provides a clear overview of all the pitfalls and difficulties that frequently take place during the development of any Digital Humanities project targeting an audience of Humanities Researchers with little experience in Computational Methods. Aspects such as data availability, how is that data being delivered in its raw form to users, how computational methodologies work, how many research personnel members is necessary to hire in a DH project, and time management, are addressed.
