Project Management and Impact Analysis for CPS-Projects
in cooperation with Kurve Wustrow
Mon. 15. March 2010 until Fri. 19. March 2010
What can we achieve with our project? This question arises inevitably
during the course of a project. However, it should not only matter at
the end of a project but much earlier, in the planning stage. How can
we plan and implement our project in order to ensure that we have a
positive impact? How can we monitor and evaluate our work in order to
find out what kind of impacts the project has?
In recent years many approaches and instruments have been developed
that offer guidance in answering these questions. Some of these tools
have their strengths in analysing the positive impact. Others are
focussing on tracking down unintended negative effects. Yet others are
designed for a participatory approach that includes the beneficiaries
and their perspective on the project and its effects.

- Risks and side effects: How much harm could I do when I only want to do good?
- Criteria for success: How does a good project look like?
- Participation: How do I gather information and how are my findings received?
- Limitations: What can I expect from a tool?
