Hello Everyone! There are quite a few knowledge areas project managers concern themselves with through the course of their responsibilities. This course helped reveal to me that I need to improve on the procurement and stakeholder areas. I used to think of procurement as being the purchase and acquisition functions in acquiring products needed to complete projects. In the process of writing the paper, I found that procurement encompasses everything from “material, capital equipment, and supplies to solutions, labor, and services” (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, Seventh Edition AND The Standard for Project Management, 2021, p. 74). That said, it widened my understanding of procurement as a discipline and gave me a deeper respect for the process. This is something I’ll have to get into the literature more to completely understand. On the other hand, the stakeholders’ questions on the quizzes have been a frequent are that I’ve struggled with. The questions normally involved international project teams who had their own management teams accounted for in the stakeholder engagement plans. I always chose answers involving keeping those stakeholders informed and seeking consensus before raising the issue to the sponsor, but it seems that the course work wants you to choose engaging the sponsor before all else. This seems counterintuitive because the coursework also teaches that stakeholders could derail projects when projects

do not align with their interests. This thinking leads me to believe that achieving consensus (at least from the majority) is a logical first step before recommending solutions to the sponsor. I’m curious to see what PMI’s Study Hall resources dictate on it.

Hi Class,

I cannot believe that we are already to the end of this class. I honestly feel very prepared for

the PMP exam. However, I think that there are still areas that I need to work on. The quizzes in

this course I’ve been very helpful with practicing and understanding my weaknesses when it

comes to remembering all of the project management Institute information. The tenant

knowledge areas or some thing that will help me in my project management career forever

more. I think that I could definitely study up on the different procurement strategies. The

reason that I find myself struggling with procurement is because in my current career, I don’t

work with contracts, and procurement too much. Understanding all the different types of

contracts will help me be a more successful project manager, and it’s an area. I need to work on

before taking the PMP exam.

I think integration is also a weakness that I find myself forgetting a lot of the terminology for.

When studying further for the PMP exam, I will definitely make extra notecards to study the

different concepts of integration. I’m curious if other members in the class are struggling with

these two knowledge areas like I am, or if other areas are coming more difficult. For me

understanding, project, scope, time, and risk were the easiest areas for me to memorize,

because in my current career and construction I deal with these project management elements

every single day at work.

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,
