Question:
Summarizing the learning objectives that we have covered in Weeks 1 through 7 we have focused on the project manager skills, project selection models, the project charter, scope statements, top-down and bottom up estimating, work breakdown structure, executing stage, communication, and risk analysis. We can now add the learning objectives for week 8 as stated in the Learning Module 8 that include:
Describe the need for project control and monitoring
Compare project progress to plans and manage work that deviates from project baselines
Discuss the quality control techniques that can be used to monitor project quality
In week 8 we have one assignment that is a comprehensive case study should consider concepts and theories learned in course modules and include an evaluation of basic project management principles for the five project management phases (initiation, planning, executing, monitoring/control, and closing). The analysis should be a minimum 1,200 words and should use at least two references. You must use the case study that is located in MindEdge Learning Module 8.
