    Week 1 Discussion - Project Management in Your Life

    This week’s first Discussion explains how you can manage a project. For the purpose of this
    Discussion, choose a project you completed last week, such as painting a picture, writing a paper for
    class, or organizing a dinner party.
    Discussion Prompt:
    • Describe the project manager’s tasks that you performed for this project. What project management
    techniques did you or would you have used to manage this project? Why?
    • Did you use any project management software for this task? Where do you think the software would
    have been useful in managing your project? Elaborate on your answer.
    • Identify several ways in which your project could have failed. What measures could you have taken to
    account for these possibilities?
    • In your project, identify phases of the SDLC. What project management techniques did you apply in
    each phase of your project?
    To participate in the discussion, respond to the Discussion Prompt by Day 3. Finally, respond to at least
    two classmates by Day 5.

    I do not have any experience in managing any project, nor have I thought of dealing with a particular
    situation in my life as a project management situation. However, I have absorbed some things in the
    readings.
    Time-management tools and techniques that include Gantt charts, project network diagrams, and
    critical path analysis, assist project managers and teams in carrying out the management of knowledge
    areas. For example, we can use tools such as the statement of work, scope management plans to assess
    the scope management area of a project.
    Therefore, what are the advantages of using these tools?
    Organizations argue that using project management techniques provide them advantages, such as the
    following, to mention a few:
    • Best control of their financial, physical, and human resources.
    • Improved customer relations
    • Shorter development times
    • Lower costs and improved productivity
    • Positive impact on meeting strategic goals
    Nonetheless, projects fail or cancel before their completion due to a lack of project management
    maturity. Others do not have a good definition of their scope.
    According to Schwalbe (2019), a successful project meets scope, time, and cost goals (p. 7-8);
    additionally, we must consider Quality also a key factor.
    Therefore, we consider it successful projects for those completed on time and budget with satisfactory
    results. Project success does not depend on size, and small projects are easier to complete successfully,
    Schwalbe says.
    Since projects are part of a system and there is a propensity for failures, good practices advocate its
    development in several phases. Therefore, we will call a project life cycle a collection of project phases
    (Schwalbe 2019). The author claims that as a project has a life cycle, so does a product.
    The phases of developing an Information System use an SDLC – System Development Life cycle –
    framework. There are five types of cycles in the SDLC: Predictive life cycle, Iterative life cycle,
    Incremental life cycle, Adaptive life cycle, and Hybrid life cycle.
