...NT2799: Week 3 WAN Management Exercise 3.1 Michael K Higdon Critical Components of a Project In the following document you will be given an overview of how budget and schedule are critical components of all projects that you encounter in your everyday business. I am going to give you some ideas and concepts that you can use to alter the outcome of said project. I am not saying that my ways are the best ways to be successful in your project management needs. I am going to communicate what has worked for me in the areas of Quality, Time and Cost. In project management there is something that we use called “The Project Management Triangle”? It uses these three key variables as the guidelines in building your projects success. I once overheard a client at my job telling someone that they can have the project done fast, good and then there is cheap. You have to pick two points of the triangle that you want. You can never have all three. I do not believe this philosophy when it comes to success in the business field; I think that you can have all three. When breaking down a project triangle let me give you some background. Fast usually refers to the timeline in getting the job done that has been asked. When you talk about Good, this refers to the quality that you will receive and cheap refers to the cost or resources throughout the project. I am going to review all three points of the triangle, as well as the importance of quality. In addition, I will...

...Essay #1: Attitude, skills and knowledge differentiate people. Elaborate with two examples on how you would differentiate yourself from other applicants to the PGP. (300 words max) “Abhinav is the role model of dedication and sincerity”, said my Project Manager during my farewell at Wipro. I have a very strong work ethic – deadlines, promises and targets hold great meaning for me. Starting off my career as a technical consultant for client Bacardi, I quickly ramped up and started handling complex deliverables. A month before the project completion, I had a road accident, injuring my right hand and foot badly. Since the project was running on tight deadlines, I was concerned that my absence would burden my colleagues. So, though I could barely move my hand and foot, I resumed work within 2 days. Seeing my condition, my managers asked me to take leave. Yet, because I knew the team needed me, I continued to work so that we could deliver the project on time. Over the next few weeks, I even supported the team on weekends, and together, we successfully met the deadline. The feeling of satisfaction this gave me is indescribable. The other attribute that differentiates me is self-discipline. I consider fitness an important part of my life. Till last year, I had a BMI of 26.8 and weighed 86kgs. Knowing that this could affect my health badly, I started a regular intensive workout regime. In 6 weeks, I reduced 16kilos, and started feeling fitter! Since then, I workout religiously and...

Pure Project: A structure for organizing a project where a self-contained team works full time on the project. b. Functional Project: in this structure, team members are assigned from the functional units of the organization. The team members remain a part of their functional units and typically are not dedicated to the project. c. Matrix Project: a structure that blends the functional and pure project structures. Each project uses people from different functional areas. A dedicated project manager decides what tasks need to be performed and when, but the functional managers control which people to use. 3. Work Breakdown Structure: (WBS) The hierarchy of project tasks, subtasks, and work packages. 4. The project planning algorithm: CPM 5. Major Points: a. Virtually every major organization has numerous projects underway at all times. b. The work breakdown structure should display a logical division and hierarchy of the elements of a project c.
