Scheduling The Project

It is stressed at the Seminar that proper scheduling/project management are required to support the project. This should be prepared with the support of both the Academic and Industrial Supervisors.

Regular meetings with both Supervisors is recommended to ensure progress is on target and essential factors are not being missed. Delegates are required to submit a time management plan with their formal proposal and a three month progress report to the CPDA Office each quarter. They will also be required to complete a Project Proposal Form which confirms support for the project proposal by the delegate's managers, the Industrial and the Academic Supervisor. These forms will be issued to the delegate by the CPDA Administrator (R&M.)

The delegate is required to document all meetings with his / her Academic Supervisor. He /she should record what was discussed at the meeting, detailing any actions that had been agreed. This will enable both parties to be clear about what actions are expected before the next meeting and allow a record of correspondence between student and supervisor to be logged should any discrepancies arise in the future. The student is required to circulate these reports to the Academic and Industrial Supervisor by email, copied to the CPDA Administrator (R&M), following each meeting.
