Quarterly Skills Share (QSS) sessions are an opportunity for participants in the CSCCE Community Manager Certification Program to share insights and expertise about their roles as STEM community managers. Sessions last 90-minutes and include two or three presentations, with ample time for Q&A and discussion. This quarter, our speakers will be talking about the temporal aspects of community management: Project managing timelines and workflows across your team and/or community.

The successful, on-time delivery of community projects and activities regularly requires community managers to use project management tools and strategies to coordinate work. In this Quarterly Skills Share session, we’ll discuss tools and tactics for managing projects both within a staff team and across a community of volunteers, with a particular emphasis on time-dependent, deadline-driven workflows. This session will draw on themes from all of the multi-week courses in CSCCE’s Community Manager Certification Program, connecting the dots between effective content and communication, engagement strategy, project management, and documentation.
