Week 4 - Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Project Change Management Reflection [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 3, 4, 5]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Weekly Lecture and assigned weekly reading from Chapters 6 and 8 from your textbook.

The Helpdesk ticketing software project you are managing is on target to complete on time, on scope, and within budget (known as the triple constraints). This morning, the IT director came to you requesting additional functionality in the software that was not a part of the original scope. You know that accepting these changes will negatively impact the project’s timeline and the budget. What is the rationale behind making a scope change once the project has started? What needs to be considered before making changes to the project? What steps should be taken to determine if these changes should be made?

Your initial response should contain at least 200 words and be supported by at least one additional Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Source  (Links to an external site.)(other than the textbook or required reading). This week’s required readings and Weekly Lecture may also be used as the basis for your post. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ introductory posts, and respond to at least two of your peers. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion. Identify how your peers’ explanations differ from your understanding, and offer at least one example, explanation, or experience to support your comments or position that your peers may not have considered. Your replies should be at least 100 words and add to the class’s body of knowledge. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. on Day 7, and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
