Project And Change Management Perspective

1) Performance: One has to ask themselves during a project if you have met the objectives of the project. Performance can be measured by evaluating the processes such as scope verification, quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control. The initial performance goals should be outlined in the initial Scope of Work.

Three factors define the success of any project; these are time, cost, and quality (Wysocki and RK 2013: 4). This paper identifies three main facets of project management that were inappropriately implemented, namely; Resourcing, Stakeholder Management, and Risk Management and how their improper implementation led to the violation of the three constraints (i.e. time, cost, and quality).

I had my ups and downs through out my self-change project, which was to turn off the water when I brushed my teeth, to shorten my shower times and turn off the water, and to use a reusable water bottle. I struggled the most with turning off the water, when I brushed my teeth I just keep forgetting to do it. Towards the middle I was able to turn off the water more, but I did notice that during work where I have limited time and I am in a hurry I keep forgetting. Towards the end, I was more successful.

From “The Project” competition, I have learned that the project management field is an ever evolving industry of its own. “The Project” competition was able to bring together a professional organization, colleges, and business leaders to positively impact the project management field and the community Being able to put together a group of PMP Certified Mentors, was critical of the success and impact of this competition (PMI Western Michigan, 2012). By using a competition of pitching a fictitious project to business professionals, decisions on the projects determined by the business professionals were able to give unbiased feedback to the various pitched projects. By utilizing this unbiased feedback from PMP Certified industry professionals was a huge success for the Project Management field, its students, and the community. I believe that the projects

The rise of new technology has offered new methods for organizations to gain support. Social media has given organizations a way to gain more support from people that would not normally support them. It gives organizations a quicker, cheaper way to get themselves known in the community. Recently crowdsourcing like Kickstarter has become a way for organizations to fundraise money. This research paper will explore the positives and negatives of crowdsourcing as a way for organizations to raise money.

When anyone is able to interject their opinion on a matter, made possible through the internet, the amount of data that must be weeded through becomes massive – tens of opinions easily turn into thousands. For example, each year Doritos relies on consumers to create their Super Bowl commercial. Consumers submit their homemade videos for a chance to win $1,000,000 and have their video played at the Super Bowl. With an opportunity like this, there are a lot of people who want to weigh-in. While this is a great way to add creativity and bring attention to your product while allowing potential winners to showcase their work, it is not an easy task to tackle. In 2012, 6,200 videos were submitted by consumers (Erickson, 2012). Doritos had to hire outside agencies to spend countless amounts of hours reviewing each and every video, just to find a handful that had potential. The pitfalls the internet brings to crowdsourcing, like the Doritos case, is that when anyone is allowed to easily contribute, enormous amounts of unusable data must be sorted through to find the needle in the haystack which is both time consuming and financially

While the wisdom of crowd (Howe, 2006) has shown great potentials in these areas, it also exhibits many challenges (Kittur et al., 2013; Buettner and Buettner, 2016) no matter it is via volunteered activities (Lease, 2011; Newman et al., 2012) or paid microtask crowdsourcing (Kittur et al., 2013; Demartini, 2015; Bernaschina et al., 2015).

Construction projects are always unique and risks raise from a number of the different sources. Construction projects are inherently complex and dynamic, and involving multiple feedback processes. A lot of participants – individuals and organizations are actively involved in the construction project, and they interests may be positively or negatively affected as a result of the project execution or project completion. Different participants with different experience and skills usually have different expectations and interests. This naturally creates problems and confusion for even the most experienced project managers and contractors.

Even though the price would be lowered because of the bad weather as per the tying in price and weather policy, not everyone would still want to go away. Either it needs to be explained clearly on the website that undesirable weather will not entitle any customer to a refund or to change or cancel their booking without penalty; or the policy must be clear in whatever the company decides is fair. For example, it may state that if the weather is unpleasant can change (but not cancel) the booking to another time.

The VP of marketing, Lori, selected Elliot Wood as the project manager for the Video Game Market Research Project. Elliot had previous project management and market research experience within the company, and he also was an avid video game enthusiast.
