Assignment 1 Project Management Exploration

The goal of this assignment is to get you thinking on project management and as with most initial assignments to start connecting this to your personal life. Answer the following questions:

1. What is a project? Please define in your own words.

2. Once you define what projects mean to you I would like you to start making connections:

a. Personal Life

i. What kind of projects do you conduct in this area of your life?

ii. How important are these projects within this area? (I understand that this will vary depending on the item however think of the main project areas you perform and then view the result if these projects never got completed)

iii. How do you organize and manage these projects? Please explain in detail.

iv. Are these projects mostly done individually or in groups?

a. How do you decide which?

b. How would you select groups if you determined this was necessary?

c. What general characteristics would you look for In-group team members? Why?

i. How do you generally evaluate if the project is finished?

ii. Who in this area decides if the project was a success? Why?

iii. What level of thought do you place in terms of the review of your actions taken during the project? Please explain?

b. Professional life

i. Answer the above questions in relation to your current or previous work experience.

c. Educational life

i. Do the same for your time as a student?

3. Think of a project that you were a part of in the past that you enjoyed. Summarize this project and state why you believe that you enjoyed that experience.

4. Now think of a project that you hated being a part of that ended up not being successful. Why was this a bad project in your eyes? What could have been implemented in this scenario to make things more like the project in the previous question?

5. Finally, what would you like to take away from this class? How do you think you can relate this class to your life?
