Adam Smith - Bringing Project Management into your PhD

Adam Smith - Bringing Project Management into your PhD

Adam Smith narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Adam shares practical advice on applying project management principles to PhD research. He explains how tools like risk registers, timelines, and structured planning can help students navigate the complexities of research. By adopting some of these approaches, PhD students may find it easier to organise their work, anticipate challenges, and maintain a steady pace throughout their studies.

Adam Smith was born in the north, a long time ago. He wanted to write books, but ended up working in the NHS, and at the Department of Health. He is now Programme Director in the Office of the NIHR National Director for Dementia Research (which probably sounds more important than it is) at University College London. He has led a number of initiatives to improve dementia research (including this website, Join Dementia Research & ENRICH), as well as pursuing his own research interests. In his spare time, he grows vegetables, builds Lego & spends most of his time drinking too much coffee and squeezing technology into his house.
