Project Management Professional

concern and achieve her goal mean I failed as a coach. I would say, I have done well to maintain a professional interaction with the client when discussing the program. The client asserted that when talking to her about the project, I was an entirely different person. Tone of voice, facial expressions and body language plays an important role during interactions with the client. In conclusion of the project, I realized that I could improve on the motivational aspect between coach and client.…

been working on an IT project for Eaton Corporation for the past several months. The project was tailored such that it would reduce the administrative burden of approximately 280 technicians currently working in the United States. In reducing the administrative burden, there was not only a cost savings for reducing labor but also the added benefit of being able to have minable data in the Oracle database. With the project charter in hand, I sat down with the IT professionals to work through…

Quality is regarded as one of the most critical factors needed to ensure the success of construction projects. Quality of construction projects, as well as project success, can be regarded as the full filament of expectations (i.e. the satisfaction) of the project participants. Quality management has played a role in the transition from reacting to the outcome of site production activities to become a strategic business function accounting for the raison d’être (reason of being) of construction…

preparing project proposals or actually executing building construction projects. I didn’t know it as at then, but I think that was when I started having this unconscious attraction toward anything that had the word project written next to it. Any mention of the word project and my ears would be on alert. My education and life experiences over the years have gotten me to this point, where I am excited to be applying for a Master of Science (MS) degree program in Technology Project Management. I…

The decision making process is considered to be one of the fundamental aspects of project execution taken as a whole. One of the major characteristics of effective decision making within any project team is that "the process focuses on goals to be served by that decision" (Sheen, 2014, 00:18). Moreover, the decision making should be based on relevant information and data to be rational and accurate. To be realistic, the process also has to take into consideration different perspectives and…

My artifact is a project assessment document written to communicate project information to non-IT or project professionals. I chose to write about a VoIP phone system implementation that we completed in February 2017. Since it is a project assessment document, I wrote it as if the project is going to happen during September and October of 2017. The instructor for the session, Ms. Robin Canale had provided us some guiding questions for the artifact. I found these questions helpful in thinking…

Estimating Activity Duration In order to utilize CPM and PDM, the project manager must estimate the duration of each activity. This is accomplished by exercising different methods of approximating the time to complete the activity. Analogous estimating exercises historical information from previous project to base the duration of a specific activity (PMI, 2013). Parametric estimates are calculated by the application of statistical information to appraise the approximate duration of an activity…

Critical Risk Assessment 5.1 Risk: Lack of Funding There is a high probability of a lack of funding for the Observation Tower. The impact that a lack of funding would have on the project would prevent, or delay, construction of the tower. However, a lack of funding for the tower is not critical to the other projects, except possibly the Trail Team. Factors for a lack of funding are no start-up funds and a withdrawal of donors for the tower. The plan of action for this risk is to explore…

energies and resourcefulness of its employees. The employees are the life blood of the company. The steady growth is based on the company culture and the ability of our project teams to deliver project after project on or ahead of schedule, all the while working with community groups and agencies to lessen the impact of the projects on the lives of the community. As an employee of Judlau, I can feel the warmly climate in the company. People treat each other like a family member. As the sentence…
