Respond to both discussion topics. Please create a new thread for each discussion topic and identify in the subject line the topic to which you are responding. Students are expected to post to both topics by Saturday and respond to at least two other students (across all discussion topics) by Tuesday (these are the minimum requirements). In responding to the discussions and to other students, please be sure to use the course material using in-text citations and a reference list to cite the source(s) used. Remember, an in-text citation cannot exist without having a corresponding reference list and a reference list cannot exist without having a corresponding in-text citation. Use of the course material (using in-text citations and a reference list) is always expected in the discussions and good practice for the assignments in the course.
You must post your initial response to this discussion topic before you can view other students’ postings.
Discussion 8A: Lessons Learned
As project managers, we always want to improve our project management processes and project work. In this week’s discussion, please share your lessons learned from this course. In your initial post, identify at least two elements that went well in either your individual work or group activities. Then identify at least two elements that did not go so well in either your individual or group work. Describe the element/activity, why it was good or not so good, and then how each element/activity relates to the discipline of project management (at least 250 words). For example, did you or your group have difficulties creating the project charter or the work breakdown structure? You would describe the activity, why it was a challenge to create the charter or WBS, and then explain how this activity relates to project management. Those who respond to your posting should be providing you with suggestions for best practices for this activity.
Discussion 8B: Project Closure
When closing the project, the project manager reviews the project management plan to ensure that all project work is completed and that the project has met its objectives. Certain activities need to be accomplished to officially close out a project. Select two project closure activities from your Week 8 Reading Assignment/Week 8 Overview and explain why these two activities are important to effectively close out a project. What challenges exist with these activities? What benefits would you expect to gain from these closure activities?
