The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on

Larson, E., & Gray, C. (2010). Project management, the managerial process. (5th ed., p. 158).

With the exceptional growth in technology, the present day projects are often large and complex involving a significant risk. So, a Project Management Methodology enables the delivery organization to handle these projects comprehensively, systematically and in an integrated manner, which results in strategic, tactical and operational benefits.

In the current business environment, the demand for project managers is ever growing. In short, project management is a provisional project constrained by time, cost and scope (A guide to the project management body of knowledge, 2013). Between the immense organization, optimization, and communication assets skilled project management brings to a project, it is easy to see why project management is a booming field of study. Furthermore, project management can be both financially and personally rewarding when long term milestones and goals come to fruition.

Dagma will be useful in the project to oversee new members to MuSat such as Angela Hutness. Because Dagma is and mature member of the group with an authoritative attitude, Dagma will be my eyes and ears for reporting of other members of the team. This approach, according Beir (1995), is using a leader within the team who knowns the team well enough to compensate for any risks in the creative process, (Beir, 1995, p. 503). Dagma will fill structural holes for instances, running along information to members like Charles who may be left out due to leaving meetings early. Other team members such as Philippa who might work solo could leave information gaps in the reporting, Dagma will be able to focus on the process of others in the project and translate information across the team when I am unable to, inevitably building trust within the team.,(Burt, 2004).

The Association for Project Management (APM) published the first edition of the APM body of knowledge (APM Bok) in 1992. The reason for publishing APM Bok was because, PMBOK® does not elaborate upon knowledge of interpersonal skills and interaction with the stakeholders. In 2012, APM Body of Knowledge 6th edition was published, and unlike the old version, the 6th edition is based on analysis of the functions rather than on a project life cycle. APM Body of Knowledge 6th edition provides the standard definition of the project management making it a primary source of study for APM qualifications, membership and other professional standards.
