Project Design

Project design and management is one of the CDH’s distinctive strengths at Princeton and in the international digital humanities community.

We value project management as “scholarly exchange”: the intellectual labor that makes collaboration in digital humanities possible. We have developed a series of methods, processes, templates, and tools that guide projects toward success, from project charters to technical project management of research software engineering. In consultations and workshops, we teach these best practices to community members with digital humanities projects – big or small – at various stages of the project lifecycle.

Our professional development training for graduate student project managers is unique on campus. In the broader field of digital humanities, we contribute to scholarly discussions on theories of project management in presentations, workshops and articles.

The CDH project management process is forever indebted to the ideas, contributions and generous spirit of our colleague, Rebecca Munson.
