As an adult student, believe it or not, your career goals can be viewed as a project. Remember from the text that a project is a complex, non-routine, one-time effort limited by time, budget, resource, and specifications. Differentiating characteristics of projects from routine, repetitive daily work are below:
a. A defined life span
b. A well-defined objective
c. Typically involves people from several disciplines
d. A project life cycle
e. Specific time, cost, and performance requirements.
With this in mind, for this course you will create a comprehensive career project for the next 5 to 10 years.
• Define key deliverables and workflow, along with roles/responsibilities for their realization
• Work out a benefits realization strategy for post-project confirmation that benefits are being accrued
• In APA format with Introduction, Conclusion and proper references/citations.
Where do I see myself in 5 years? Hopefully, in a position where I can make critical decisions for a company I work for or my own business. In a position of authority such as manager, director, or perhaps VP or CEO of the company, who know since this is my career project.
