It is very important that as a project management you stay in the right path when establishing any type of project. Staying on the critical path is the most important aspect of project management (Kerzner, 2009) In this paper I will be describing a project I had to manage when taking my last trip, I will show how was the need for the project identified, what steps I established to ensure the project was a success and how did I measure the success of my project. Last month my husband and I took a vacation to Europe, I am a planner therefore I had everything plan from the beginning to the end, what we were going to see, what places to eat so on and so forward. Once everything was ready to go two weeks before the vacation we found out we were expecting and because of previous complications all of my plans had to be changed. I had to now change our entire excursion, and had to wait to get to Europe to see what we were going to do because I was very tired and with almost all of the symptoms that happened when someone is expecting.

...Portfolio Management and Strategic Management Rebecca Watson CPMGT/301 May 25, 2015 Daryl Hale Portfolio Management and Strategic Management Portfolio management is a method that practices fundamental management techniques to prioritize an organization’s projects against each other. This method is performed in the same way an investor would evaluate a stock portfolio for long-term value, risk, and balance. This process is ideal; enabling an organization to consider and bring about a portfolio of projects to appropriate resources and optimize investments against vital objectives (Robbins Gioia, 2013). Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is used to assist an organization to gain and evaluate details about all its current and upcoming projects. Each project can then be prioritized against others based on criteria such as resources, budget, strategic value and any other impactful elements concerning the organization (Greer, 2009). The advantages to practicing PPM is that is can give the organization a big picture perspective of where its resources are being allocated and how the project deliverables will impact the company goals. According to Robbins Gioia, the traditional approach of project management focuses on cost, prioritizes project time lines, manages and contains problems within the project scope, “and attempt to answer the question: Are we doing things right?” (Robbins Gioia, P. 1). Even with the best project manager (PM) yielding optimal results, that PM has...

...Project Implementation Plan: Part 2 CPMGT 305 July 20, 2015 James Kaczynski Project Implementation Plan: Part 2 Now that Team A has completed the first part of the implementation plan for the inmate shower project, the focus will turn the part two, the creation of a communication plan and a risk analysis for the entire project. The communication plan will ensure that there is role clarity among all members of the team. This clarity will lead to a more cohesive team and also help the project manager to lead the team more effectively. From there the project manager will look at a risk analysis for the project and help to communicate it to the team in an easy to read matrix. Both pieces are critical in the planning and implantation of the inmate shower project, and tying them together is important to ensuring that the project continues to run smoothly. Communication Plan Every project, no matter how big or how small, must have a well thought out and effective communication plan to be successful. According to the PMBOK, a communication plan establishes who will be communicating with who, how often, and by what means (Project Management Institute, 2013). The first step in any communication plan is to establish who needs to know what information. Because this is a relatively simple project involving a small number of people the list of people who will need to be informed of their duties is pretty small. The people included in the list of those who the information will...

...Project Management Plan Horace Bethea, Nicole Brown, Eric Cornick, Robin Evans, and Kristi Longstreet CPMGT/301 November 19, 2012 Steven Chardon-Strunk Project Management Plan Because of strict accreditation regulations and laws related to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 for institutions offering federal financial aid, an organization cannot offer traditional sales bonuses for employees who enroll students. Recently there has been a decline in employee morale. Senior management thinks that a new employee incentive program may boost employee morale (University of Phoenix, 2012, para. 3). This paper will include the work breakdown structure, activities, the sequenced activity diagram, a human resources plan, and a communication plan. The communication methods identified in the communication plan will be evaluated by identifying the communication tools and techniques most effective for the audience, and an explanation of why the methods of communication identified are most effective. The objective to this project management planning process is to successfully implement an employee incentive program within the university to boost employee morale that has declined because of the changes in compensation structure. Although the university cannot control what laws and regulations are changed governing federal financial aid, the university must abide by the changes to keep their accreditation. The university...
