The gap analysis was performed to analyze the responsibilities of the project managers and process they use to complete projects.

Or WBS Project cost management can use earned value once the project has started by calculating what has beenn completed versus what needs to be completed. An also use a gannt chart anuse the tale in the case study to show how much people were paid to complete part of the project and the time spent. Can conduct skype meetings weekly to share the information to all team members. Using Skype to meet will be more efficient because team members could not set a day and time for ALL to meet in one location. A WBS can also be helpful here to separate all the costs and budgets to organize in a manner where the team can understand what money goes where.…
The essential of having a successful project management team is very important. Having strategic risk management techniques is essential. When planning a project team, it is sometimes strongly advised to think in a futuristic mindset by thinking of the “what if’s” how do’s, how comes, and planning out all the possible risks. There may be various explanations of the project team failures, including poor communication among the team, misconstruing of its shared facts, and unclear and uncertain positions. Also the roles and responsibilities of the team members. (Fottler, Kloppenborg, McAfee, & Nkomo, 2012). Without a clear sense of communication as well as instructions between the project team, it is virtually impossible to have a successful clear-minded team. Without clear sharing of information among the project team, there lies an opportunity for misinterpretation, and spreading false information. In additional…
Week four’s focus on the project execution process was beneficial. I was not as familiar with the procurement management process as I am with quality, risk, and communication management. This week I was most comfortable with communication management and the tools and techniques for distributing formal communication. Communication management is something I have to do daily to ensure my department has the information necessary to meet goals, which is similar for the information required of a project team. I also felt comfortable with the risk management plan and recently have been participating in a project to review all process and procedures of our service teams. The focus of this project is to identify a standard process but also identify the risks of…
Kathy, the project manager, obviously did not have the people skills or knowledge of the culture needed to be successful on this project. Had she researched the culture, listened to her team members, and worked with them rather than over them, this project would have been more successful. Also she should implement incentives for the team.…
Lauren was selected to be the project manager. She had 15 years of experience in printer design and manufacture, which included successful management of several projects related to printers for commercial markets. Since she was one of those uncomfortable with the project cost and time estimates, she felt getting good bottom-up time and cost estimates for the deliverables was her first concern. She quickly had a meeting with the significant stakeholders to create a WBS identifying the work packages and organizational unit responsible for implementing the work packages. Lauren stressed she wanted time and cost estimates from those who would do the work or were the most knowledgeable, if possible.…
Executive Summary The basic concepts of project management calls for proper planning, organization and the management of a variety of resources in order to successfully achieve a certain goal. One of the most important objectives of project management is the ability to deliver a product or service within a certain time constraint or “on time” as well as being fiduciary responsible or “within budget.” Thus, it can be seen that good project management makes efficient use of time, money, personnel, materials and supplies, and methods of communication in order to successfully complete a project. Unfortunately, these basic methods of project management were not…
I have begun the termination process with both my clients and supervisor. I have had several clients that I have worked with on the acute unit who were flagged as High Risk for Suicide that I had to terminate with prior to them being discharged. I have also carried a small caseload in which I started the termination process early (due to my supervisor having to attend a Suicide Prevention Conference in Denver this week). I would say the process was much easier than I expected. All of the veterans were extremely kind and thanked me for my service and wished me well in my future endeavors. I even had one who asked me to come back to work for the VA. That really made my heart smile.…
My simulation scores show the area of most need for improvement in the areas of cost projecting and financial decision making. While working on the project in the beginning. I do not believe that I spent enough time with the work breakdown schedule and the project charter, as the project was behind schedule for the full duration of the project life cycle requiring multiple revisits to request further funds to cover project costs. It will be in my best interest in future projects to familiarize myself fully before determining financial…
