This class was extremely informative to me. I feel that all the weeks discussing project management are invaluable and can be used for the rest of my personal career. Understanding the process one must go […]

I agree with you, Adam. I feel that both of these methodologies could fail because of the way they are set up. In addition, I feel that there is less adjustment for the scope within the waterfall methodology […]

In the CVS case, I feel that the technicians would be the hardest to get on board with a process change. The reason for this is simply due to the fact that the technicians do the bulk of the work in a […]

I don’t regularly have tasks/projects that have a critical path required to complete at work. But after reading the comments posted by some of my classmates, I can agree that there can be different ways to […]

I agree with Mamta in that the decisions should be both quantitative and qualitative in nature. While one method may have better benefits over another, it is important to understand and weigh both types of […]

I agree with you Karen. Defining a scope is the first step in project management for many people and if it is not properly defined, it could end up costing your organization a lot of money and time. If defined […]

Barbara’s presentation was highly informative to me. The biggest takeaway that I got out of it was how complex the process actually is and how many people it takes to do and ERP implementation. I also agree with […]

I agree with you, Adam. All projects don’t originally have clear cut definition of problems. As mentioned, it is important a stakeholders requirements meeting is a good thing to have, as it is a necessity. In a […]

The downsides to a “systems thinking” approach would be the fact that one does not take the organization as a whole into consideration. This could have negative affects on the organization because the […]

In my group, there were differing assumptions from the beginning. The first assumption that comes to mind might be the most obvious: time and location. A few of us thought the party would be before class, in the […]

Overall, this class was wonderful. It taught me a lot about the different forms of data, how the data is collected and analyzed, and ended (appropriately) with how to display and present this data. The format of […]

I think the future of digital information good will continue to prosper. We are in a digital age and I feel that as long as we’re here, in this state, that the need for digital information goods will continue to […]

There are several challenges that will be faced when trying to integrate social data with data from a company’s internal system. First, it will be difficult to determine where the data came from since there are […]

To gather the sales data for this data mart, we would most likely have to ask senior level managers for the requested data. The specific questions would be which location (just one? all of them?), the products […]

I was one of those few. I think advertising would definitely help with that!
