This chapter discusses the general skills for employment that the student will develop while studying law. It will also focus on some of the more specific ‘legal’ skills they will acquire. General skills are true transferable skills. This means that they are applicable in most, if not all, spheres of employment. These include collaboration/teamwork, problem solving, researching (hardcopy and digital) and referencing, decision making, time management, project management; and oral, written and digital communication. Subject-specific skills are the employability skills that are relevant to specific types of employment or academic subjects. These include advocacy, negotiation skills, client interviewing, letter writing, and legal research.

Self Organisation

This article is devoted to the study of self-organisational academic activity of future teachers of primary schools. The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical basis and methodological support for the self-organisation of the educational activities of a future teacher of primary education based on the time management technology. The study describes theoretical and practical principles of self-organisation academic activity of bachelor students, examines the different approaches of scientists to the concept of ‘self-organisational academic activity’, given the characteristics of this phenomenon from the point of view of pedagogical science, including functions, components of this phenomenon; considered the pedagogical possibilities of technology ‘Time management’ in self-organisation of educational activity of future teachers. The ‘Time management’ technology is presented as the organisation of bachelor student’s life aimed for the most rational planning of the learning process and professional development. The theoretical studies are confirmed by experimental research related to the diagnostic and improvement skills of future elementary school teachers’ self-organisation. On the basis of theoretical, empirical research methods, as well as methods of statistical processing of research results, the results of a search study of students’ self-organisation are presented. The presented experimental results show the feasibility of using a variety of time-management technology tools in training sessions in the process of preparing specialists.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between adult attention deficit (AAD) and the operational effectiveness of project managers (OEPM) as mediated by time management (TM). Design/methodology/approach In total, 104 actively employed business graduate students each had the opportunity to be a project manager within a project team. Each team member rated the others on their operational effectiveness, completed a self-report measure of TM and identified a close associate who completed an observer version of the Brown Adult Attention Deficit Scale. The Sobel and Hayes tests were used to test the hypothesis that TM mediates the relationship between AAD and OEPM. Findings AAD is negatively associated with TM and OEPM, and TM is positively associated with OEPM. TM partially mediates the relationship between AAD and OPME. Research limitations/implications Future research requires a sample of project managers drawn directly from the workplace, and needs to examine the association of AAD with a wider set of project conditions and associated competencies to identify potential benefits and challenges. An updated and validated measure of both TM and the OEPM is required in future research. Practical implications Individuals and organizations wanting to ensure timely and successful completion of key tasks and projects need to be aware of the potentially constraining influence of AAD on TM and OPME. Relatively more intensive time and project management training is suggested for disordered project managers and team members. The use of organizational coaches and peer coaching within project teams represents a potential opportunity for distributing the potential benefits of the disorder while managing the challenges. Employee assistance programs that raise awareness and provide access to assessment are an important part of multi-modal management of the disorder in the workplace. Social implications Employers are facing increasing social, legal and economic pressures to support functional but disordered employees, be more inclusive and take appropriate advantage of employee diversity. This research provides constructive suggestions for how to support disordered employees with project management responsibilities. Originality/value This research study is the first examination of the relationships between AAD, TM and OEPM, and is of value to researchers, organizational development specialists, human resource management specialists, managers and employees who are seeking effective multi-modal management of the disorder in the workplace.

The discovery of Critical Path Method (CPM) made breakdown of project management possible. In the result, project management consists of some knowledge areas like project time management, project cost management etc. But there is a problem: CPM couldn�t take into account resource constrains and costs. So there are a lot of models which include different types of constraints. But the vast majority of such models have serious problem: it�s impossible to scale them to universal model which could take into account time, cost and resources together. We suppose that this universal model could be developed on the base of genetic algorithms and it allow increasing efficiency and quality of project management. In this article we discuss the base principals and tools of such model and specific genetic algorithm is proposed

Software Project Management refers to managing a software project effectively as to have a clear understanding of what the software developers are trying to achieve. Software project management is ever changing, ever evolving and never ending process. Since the market demand for software product changes, new project management methodologies and techniques need to be implemented with rapid change in time and market demand. This paper discusses the result of a survey which is conducted in 10 small and medium software enterprises of India. The purpose of the survey is to get an idea about the type of leadership a project manager plays, how a software project manager manages a software project in terms of team management, communication management, risk management, quality management, time management and cost management, how a software project manager manages the communication between project members and clients and finally the output of a software project in terms of schedule and budget.

Construction Site

Construction project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques related to project activities achieving the project requirements. Accurate and timely acquisition of the site data and information could improve the project management decision processes. However, obtaining the data and information in minimum possible time is the complex process due to nature of the construction site condition. There are several limitations with regards to the site data acquisition including, monitoring construction site, and sharing a daily status report. This study investigates the potential of using smartphone as a new technology in construction sites: (1) to improve monitoring and controlling the site activities; (2) to accelerate decisions making process by improving the speed and accuracy of information exchange process. This study provides an overview of the feasibility of using smartphones in three areas of project management knowledge, discussed in a Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), including time management, quality management and human resources management. Validation was conducted through the real case study based on the proposed scenarios. Return of investment and sensitivity analysis of the two scenarios were also compared to find the efficient scenario. The results of this study can be applied to improve the monitoring and understanding of the site status and can potentially facilitate the decision making process.
