Week 6
Discussion post 1.
Two team
members on the large multidisciplinary product testing team you project manage
are consistently late turning in weekly reports. When you spoke with each
of the team members individually, they both said, essentially, that you aren’t
their manager so getting their reports to you is of secondary importance to
them. What are two specific things you can do to encourage these team members
to contribute to the project on time? (p. 312 Project Management Textbook)
Week 7
Discussion Question 1:
- Your
organization has effective systems in place to track work-effort and
expenditures, but needs to do a better job at monitoring quality - How
can Six Sigma be beneficial for an IT project?
Discussion Question 2:
- Research
IT Governance. To begin, here is one link on the topic:http://www.isaca.org/Knowledge-Center/Val-IT-IT-Value-Delivery-/Documents/IT-Value-Special-Compilation.pdf - What
are three important IT governance ideas you have for contributing towards
a successful IT Project?
Week 8
Discussion 1
Bruce’s
website development project is nearing an end, and upper management must decide
what to do with the resources associated with the project. Bruce’s team
met all schedule and expenditure goals, but the product they produced (a
video-swapping online destination) has underperformed in terms of ad revenue
and visitors. Which form of termination would you recommend upper management
consider for Bruce’s project? (p. 420 Project Management Textbook)
