Diversity makes each group unique and offers a new perspective.

The principles of diversity and inclusion, although often overlooked in project management, are crucial to project success. It is by respecting these principles that organizations create an inclusive working environment that can build on the strengths of all team members. Although this work of including diversity is a long-term process, we will show why it is important to do it for short-term projects and how to do it.

Due to time constraints, project managers must take these issues into account during the project planning phase. In the following article, we will give tools (…) to integrate these notions of diversity and inclusion in the planning phase. As regards the implementation phase of the project, the project managers must ensure the integration of all members (...)

In conclusion, addressing diversity and inclusion in short-term projects is essential for better results. By integrating these principles into the planning and implementation phases, project managers can create a more inclusive and equitable working environment that benefits everyone involved.
