Assignment Unit 1: Select a Project
Select a Project
It’s now time for you to select a project to plan over the
duration of this course. Choose wisely! Here are some ideas to keep in mind as
you discuss what project to work on:
• The project could be something you’re working on right now and
could use some “experts” to help you plan for better control.
• It could be a project that’s in the pipeline—and the faucet
will be turned on soon!
• It might be a project you’ve been championing but no one’s
bitten. Maybe if you had a plan for your project, they’d see what a good idea
it is!
It could also be a project completely unrelated to your work.
Something you are working on in your personal life that you would like to
apply formal Project Management to.
Above all—keep it simple!
A few words of advice:
Remember a project is a temporary endeavor with a unique product
or service.
It is very easy to start thinking about what comes next after a project
or what the project will enable when completed. Make sure you are
limiting your ideas to something that falls in line with this definition.
For example I may want to plan a fund raising banquet but my project ends
when the banquet ends. I would not include the subsequent tasks of
distributing money and running the activities that the money will fund.
Remember you want to avoid scope creep. Make sure you define your
project within manageable limits. You will find that many projects attempt to
take on too much at once. Think about your ideas in their smallest manageable
components that meet the definition of a project.
I highly recommend you look ahead at the other sections of the
Project Management Plan template so that you understand the type of project planning you
will be doing. Even at this stage in the class you should be able to
understand where we are headed.
