Discussion – Initiating the Projects

Chapter – 3 Chartering Projects.

Provide a graduate-level response, utilizing material from the weekly reading, to each of the following questions:

1) What are the four main areas of competency a client company is looking for in a project manager? How can you best demonstrate these competencies to a potential client?

2) How are risks, assumptions, and constraints related? How are they different? Give an example of how an incorrect assumption could become a risk.

3) What is a milestone schedule? Briefly summarize the process of creating a milestone schedule.

You will draft your initial post to the above questions in a Word document. You will submit the Word document through the link provided in the Content folder. You will copy and paste the body of your initial post and the reference section into the Discussion Forum creating your initial post to initiate discussion.

The main body of your initial post should be at least 600 words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12). Do not post any title section within the discussion forum.

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. The textbook needs to be well utilized in answering all of the questions. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion. However, do not substitute other sources for the textbook.

Your initial post and Word document should be completed and submitted by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. EST. All peer replies must be completed by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. EST
