Grand Project Management Overview

Week 1 - Introductions

Grand Project Management Overview
FIRST ASSIGNMENT

What is Project Management - an older guide

Week 2 - The Fictitious Project - Due May 20

Fictitious Project Assignment Rubric - PLEASE TURN IN AS A PDF.

Reminder: Your Assignment ought to have (at least) 5 parts:

Project Charter
Goal Breakdown Schedule
Work Breakdown Schedule
Project Schedule
Project Budget

Somewhere in the above (1 or 2) you should make a statement about scope of work, as well.

Unless you can think of a better way, a good format for 3, the Work Breakdown Schedule, is to use the 5 part PMI process as explained in the slides and in class, and in the WBS Guide below.

Ficticious Project Management 2016 Slides - Slightly different from basic project mangement above. Deal. :)

Work Breakdown Schedule Guide - Probably the "newest" part of Project Management Skills you will be learning. Remember to consider SMART objectives.

Week 2: Personal Project Management Resources: For the Individual.

Why Text?
F*** The Cloud (lots of profanity ahead) - the milder, and very good point here: the Cloud is a PARTY.

NOTE: This is long and dry. If you don't know how to begin, START with this, but be ready to pare it down. Which is how you should think about MOST writing.
