Project Management discussion -
1) What is the definition of a project? What are some of the elements that differentiate a project from operations/maintenance work? Answer in your own words. Answer in your own words, do not simply post a quote. However, support your assertions with a short quote from the class readings or other outside source.
2) Late in WK1 you will be assigned to a Learning Team. One of your WK2 deliverables will be a Learning Team Charter. How does this function like a Project Charter? Consider how it fold into the Project Plan (a class team assignment as well)? Answer in your own words, do not simply post a quote. However, support your assertions with a short quote from the class readings or other outside source
3) Considering all projects have a purpose, a mission if you will, what is its purpose and what role does it play? Answer in your own words, do not simply post a quote. However, support your assertions with a short quote from the class readings or other outside source.
4) Define stakeholders. How does a project plan to manage stakeholders? Are all stakeholders equally important? Think about your organization when answering.
5) A project report is a vital communication vehicle. What do the various readers (stakeholders) want to see? How is this accomplished? Answer in your own words do not simply post a quote. However, support your assertions with a short quote from the class readings or other outside source.
6) Often we think of a report as a multi page document with multiple appendices. What about a simple stoplight chart to display data about a project? Help us by defining/describing a stoplight chart and how it might be used?
