Accelerating the development-programme projects of Crimean Federal University

V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University asked us to assess the potential of the projects in its Development Programme, speed up the strongest project teams, and train coordinators of group work and project management inside the university. The work was done under the services contract of 17 December 2019, No. 2-12/54/PR.

• Analyse the potential built up in 10 to 20 Development Programme projects submitted by the university
• Design acceleration programmes for at least 5 projects
• Select and take through acceleration 5 to 10 project teams with 10 to 30 participants in total
• Run the acceleration programme: coordination of group work, tracking sessions, mentoring and personal support of projects
• Train at least 20 coordinators of group work and project management
• Build a digital footprint of programme participants with their professional and personal traits

First, the potential of the Development Programme projects was analysed, with recommendations on which projects and teams to accelerate. Acceleration programmes were designed for the selected projects. The teams went through the acceleration programme with coordination of group work, tracking sessions, mentoring and personal support. The coordinator training programme ran in parallel. A digital footprint with professional and personal traits was built for the participants of both programmes.

• A report on the analysis of project potential: results of the analysis and recommendations on selecting projects and teams for acceleration
• A report on the acceleration programme: the agreed programme and schedule, the signed list of participants, copies of certificates, feedback forms, and recommendations for further acceleration of the selected projects
• A report on coordinator training: the agreed programme and schedule, the signed list of participants, copies of certificates, feedback forms
• A report on building the digital footprint of programme participants
