Discussion Post: Planning
Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.
Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
• Go online and research the difference between total slack and free slack.
o Prepare proper reference citations for the sites you located, using APA style.
o Write definitions of total slack and free slack in your own words.
o Why would the distinction between different forms of slack be important to a project manager?
• How does scope management differ from scope control?
Textbook: Project Management by Adrienne Watt, 2nd Edition.
Chapter 9: Scope Planning
Chapter 10: Project Schedule Planning
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
