...MGT2 - IT Project Management Course of Study This course supports the assessments for MGT2. The course covers 8 competencies and represents 3 competency units. Introduction Overview Project management is a systematic approach to solving a problem, taking advantage of an opportunity, improving a process, or otherwise creating something. A project goes through several phases, with a distinct beginning and end. A successful project includes effectively carrying out tasks related to initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing. Unsuccessful projects often skip some of these steps, perhaps not fully planning everything that needs to be done or forgetting to monitor the team to ensure they are sticking to the plan. An effective project manager foresees problems, makes appropriate trade-offs that ensure successful project completion, and, above all, facilitates communication among all project stakeholders, who are likely each looking for something different from the project. This course provides an overview of the Project Management Institute’s project management methodology. As you learn about the various process groups and knowledge areas, you will apply your knowledge in case studies for planning a project that has not started yet and monitoring/controlling a project that is already underway. You will solve problems, gather information, and make decisions using your expert judgment. The techniques you practice in this course will be beneficial...

...MGT2 Task C. A Brief Project Closure Report Discussion When all the deliverables, customer requirements and\or goals have been met in a project, in other words, at the closing of a project the Project Manager is responsible for compiling and delivering a Final Project Report, known as a Project Closure Report. A good project closure report will summarize the entire project from the beginning project plan and scope information to the lessons learned from the project. It should also include other information such as the changes to the project scope if there were any, the final project budget reconciliation, and “a recap of the performance metrics taken during the project; the budget and schedule reconciliations will provide the final project metrics”, (Mastering-project-management.com, 2009). The information for the report can be written in document format or compiled in a presentation using some type of software such as Microsoft PowerPoint. It is a good idea to have the written document even if the Project Sponsor has requested a presentation. The Project Closure Report should be submitted or presented to the Project Sponsor for final approval. Another document that would be useful when closing a project would be a Project Closing Review with fewer details of items such as budget information, used to inform the other key stakeholders of the project results and closing. The review should also provide management and the project team with insights gained as...

The Facilitation Technique will also be used because it not only facilitates the development of the project charter, but will help the project team members accomplish their tasks through brainstorming, problem solving, meeting management, and conflict resolution. Interviews with GenRays senior leaders, department heads, and staff will be used for this knowledge management area to determine what the most beneficial aspects of an HRIS system are to the company. The results of the interviews will be used to help identify and define the features and functions of the project’s deliverables. Product Analysis will also be used to help determine which vendor’s pre-packaged HRIS system best meets the company’s needs, by analyzing the HRIS requirements, the product breakdown, the systems required, and the value of the product, and comparing to the offerings and information provided by the potential vendors that have already been identified. Decomposition, Expert Judgment, Gantt Chart Decomposition will be used for Project...
