Project Management Concepts and Application Paper

First, I worked with my contractor counterpart to develop a strategy to improve the joint review process. I proposed shifting the bulk of the review effort to an informal peer review. This informal review was a cost savings since conducting it at the “working level” would not require the contractual approval process. In return for adding this additional review, I agreed to conduct it in 15 days vice the 30 days of a formal review cycle. I was able to overcome the reduced time through effective advanced resource planning. At the conclusion of the informal review, the teams

Instead of yearly reviews why wait that long to hand out praise. Instead I should meet with managers and teams regularly and compliment them on what is right instead of concentrating on what is wrong, approaching people in this manner will increase the certainty they have with the company and allow them to feel rewarded instead of stressed and threatened. Remembering to use Non violent communication and the SCARF model can only increase my leadership skills and allow my team to reach their full

Our project is to create a computer system for Kings Estate Agent Company that will help them monitor their assets and also allows employees to access the application system. In this evaluation we will be reviewing literatures discussing the different types of methodologies available to software developers. We will conclude the evaluation with our reasons for selecting the method chosen for our project.

Forming the priorities for the project considers the three project measurement elements: cost, scope, and time. By determining with the customer which one of these elements are the priority over the others, the project manager can determine which element can be the constraint, which one can be enhanced, and which element to accept. This can affect the quality of the project if time, cost, or scope is the priority. With this project, we do know that the cost of the project cannot exceed a budget of $1.2 million. Therefore the cost is a constraint – no flexibility in this area. Time could be accepted, meaning that the date for the conference could be in twenty or twenty one month – not an exact date. Performance or scope of the project can be enhanced with the flexibility of the projects that the individual teams undertake before the conference. In fact, the service at the venue could be of elegant quality or simply good food. The scope of this project could be enhanced.

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. He still had the Atari system he used to play in high school, and he enjoyed playing newer games with his two children. Elliot, however, was wary of doing business on the Internet and refused to make any of his own purchases online. He also did not let his grade school children use the Internet unless they were

There are numerous books on project management, most books are generic in nature, some are catered to the IT industry, but we feel most books fail to capture the challenges faced in executing a project in the automotive industry. Another important drawback of in the current literature is the overemphasis on tools and terminologies, for example Agile, Six Sigma, PMP, Lean, rather than the essential skills needed to successfully execute the project. In this book, we hope to provide the readers, who are practitioners of project management like us, the field of project management as a risk based decision making activity driven by leadership and initiative, continuously adapting to the changing scenarios, not a merely following executing set of steps. As project managers, we frequently are faced with changing requirements, different work scenarios and difficult decisions. We narrate a story, told to one of the author (RJS) by her five year old son, which summarizes the crux of the dynamical nature of project management.

➢ Make sure that we involve all customers, sponsor and project stakeholders when it comes to creating scope management plan, keep them on the loop on basis of what will be done and not done, how it will controlled.

Project constraints delay the start of project activities. Three project constraint need to be considered in scheduling.

A cost estimate is a prediction of the likely cost of the resources that will be required to complete all of the work of the project
