Overview
This course, targeting teachers of translation as well as professional translators, aims to give an overview of some tools for translation project management. It also offers the possibility of applying the knowledge acquired in PM Course I to some practical exercises.
You will be taken, step by step, through the life of a translation project – from its creation to its delivery, covering aspects such as folder management, quote creation, planning and tracking.
For this, different applications will be illustrated:
- a tool designed specifically for translation project management (LTC Organiser)
- a tool used for project management in general (MS Project)
- tools not originally designed for project management tasks, but which are nevertheless very often used for this purpose (Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Access)
By the end of this course you should appreciate how these tools can help with managing translation projects.
