1. Project Management Analysis
Why would it help a Project Management (PM) to have “come up through the ranks” (i.e. s/he has done the kind of work to be accomplished by the typical projects s/he will be managing)? How/why might “coming up through the ranks” actually get in the PMs way? How is it that the PM skillset is, as the textbook authors indicate in chapter 1, “transferrable across most businesses and professions?”
2. Relate, Compare, and Contrast Projects, Programs, and Portfolios
Draw a diagram that shows the relationship of all of projects, programs, and project portfolio. Compare and contrast the purposes and other differences between projects, programs, and portfolios. For this question, you may need to do some additional research online – that added research is not required, but it may help you.
