About a month ago the LTR team started using Trello as a Visual Management Board.

Every so often we plan to list for you, dear reader, our completed tasks since the previous list.

Remembering that the VM Board doesn’t cover our BAU work, here are some of the activities we’ve completed in the last few weeks:

• Document local jupyterhub service: Put together all the information needed to understand and use Jupyter notebooks at https://canterbury.libguides.com/jupyterhub
• Engr101: 1st ENGR101 assignment, an embedded response with a bespoke Subject guide, lecture, tailored LEARN modules, speciality Tutorials and 1-1 consultations
• SciVal Trial: Download as much information from SciVal as we can, as fast as we can!
• Research analytics tool business case and procurement: Contribute to the work finding an analytics tool for purchase
• Gather RDM policy documents: Gather RDM Policy Documents from other institutions to help us write our own
• Covidence demo: Get Covidence users from Psychology to demonstrate the software to us
• HSRV103 module: Create a module for HSRV103 following Aropapaki

Anton’s job title has changed to Research Systems & Data Librarian | Kairuruku Raraunga Rangahau (from Research Data Coordinator).

His PD (the previous version was from 2012!) and job title have been updated to better reflect what he actually does.

The deadline for reports for the next Project Board meeting is 5pm, Thursday 20 May. This includes progress reports, project closure reports, and Project Charters.

If you have an idea for a project, please first check with your manager, then work out who will be project manager and project sponsor. In terms of documentation, the way to start a project is to complete a Project Brief document. The project sponsor will sign off on this and ask the project manager to complete a Project Charter document. The Project Charter is what you will submit to the Project Board.

If you have any questions about this process or what documents to use, please get in touch with Gabrielle, Kim, Brian or me.

Templates for the Project Brief and Project Charter documents are in K:\Projects\_Project-Administration\Templates.
