This document discusses project management tools and techniques and their application to virtual reference projects. It defines a project as having elements of something new, a beginning and an end, and often involving interdisciplinary teams. Project management is applying knowledge and skills to project activities to meet stakeholder needs. Using tools and techniques helps focus thinking, identify all tasks and responsibilities, and reduce errors. The document proposes a three-phase approach to a virtual reference project: a feasibility study, pilot project, and operational implementation. It recommends developing project charters and assessment plans.

Why Use Project Management for Virtual Reference? Advantages previously noted We all begin to develop project management skills We can apply these skills to other projects We can help others in the Library develop these skills
Where Are We Going? Overall project may have three distinct components: 1. Feasibility study 2. Pilot 3. Operational
Feasibility Should we introduce virtual reference? Why or why not? Whats involved in introducing virtual reference? What do we need to know, what do we need to do, what decisions do we have to make in order to answer the two previous questions?
Pilot Project Develop a plan for a pilot Activate the pilot Develop an assessment plan for the pilot Activate the assessment plan Decide whether were going into full operation and, if so, what adjustments should be made
Move To Operational Develop a plan to move from pilot to operational Activate the plan Develop a plan for on-going assessment Activate the assessment plan
