Week 8
Individual Learning Activities
Individual Learning Activity 1: Lessons Learned
Share your lessons learned from this course. In your initial post, identify at least two
elements that went well in either your individual or group work, and identify
at least two elements that did not go so well in either your individual or
group work. Describe both the “what”
and the “why” for each element, as well as “how” each
element relates to the discipline of project management (at least 250
words). If you respond to a classmate in
this thread, provide suggestions for “best practices” to address the
elements that did not go so well (at least 150 words). For both your initial and response posts,
make references to course resources and/or outside materials and cite/reference
them appropriately in APA format. Any
suggestions for “best practices” should be identified as such within
the industry/discipline and should not simply be your own thoughts.
Individual Learning Activity 2: Pulling It All
Together/Change Management
Throughout the course, you have been compiling documents
that are critical in Project Initiation and Project Planning. Are you prepared to be the Project Manager on
your project and make the transition from Project Planning to Project
Execution? In this thread, share whether
you believe you are ready to be the Project Manager for your team project for
the execution phase, as well as why or why not.
Next, explain how you will handle the changes that are bound to arise in
the execution and monitoring and control phases. (This may also serve as a good transition
from BMGT 487 to BMGT 488 for those of you taking the next course.) If you choose to respond to a classmate in
this thread, focus solely on the change management portion and identify
alternate strategies for implementing change management.
