## :stopwatch: Agenda 

### Warm-up (5 minutes):

#### Questions & Comments about Open Science left over from last week?

## Introduction to Project Management (50 minutes)

## Discussion Q/A (Breakouts)

#### Breakout Room 1:

Most people have experience in "bad" project management.

When you hear "Machine Learning" - run back to the Gov. docs to see if it was pre-registered.

Examples of good project management included good documentation,

Having the capacity to change the way you interact with different partners/collaborators, i.e. code switching.


#### Breakout Room 2:
- Most people have worked in 1-4 people groups
- Breaking down the project into smaller, achievable problems/goals helps with achieving the overall goal.
- As a leader: being able to delegate is a _difficult skill_ worth learning.
- In laboratories/office spaces, project management needs to also account for equality.
- (2-way!)Communication is key.

## Introduction to CyVerse

https://user.cyverse.org - User Portal (Account Creation; use academic email if you have one; if you have an ORCID, include it!)

https://learning.cyverse.org/what_is_cyverse/ 

Words of wisdom from Michele: just because you can doesn't mean you should! (e.g., create folder name with spaces!)

### Homework Assignment
