initiating the project

 

Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Identify 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. 
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

  1. The sponsor for a project you have been managing sends you an email that he would like to make a small change to the project.  What is your response and why? 
  2. A potential client wants you to be project manager for the construction of a new house, but she is vague about the details.  List a few questions you could ask her to gain a better understanding of the scope of the project.
  3. Many factors can impact the accuracy of activity duration estimates. Describe four of the problems associated with estimating activity durations accurately, and the techniques you could use as a project manager to overcome them.

[Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, 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]. [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review]
