PJM 6005 - Individual Assignment - Project Scope Lessons Learned and Integration Paper

Overview and Rationale

For this assignment, you will integrate all that you have learned in Project Scope Management (PJM 6005). This paper will outline your most relevant scope management ‘takeaways’ and lessons learned. Moreover, you will provide your insights into how scope management is integrated into the overall project planning process to ensure success.

Program and Course Outcomes

This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course:

· Assess how project Scope Management impacts and integrates with other project planning deliverables

· Conduct project scope management lessons learned

In addition to these key learning outcomes, you will also have the opportunity to evidence the following skills through completing this assignment:

· Critical thinking and analysis

· Problem solving

Essential Components & Instructions

Project integration management is the coordination of all elements of a project.

Moreover, Project scope is part of the project planning process that involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs. In other words, it is what needs to be achieved and the work that must be done to successfully deliver a project.

Please prepare a 6-8-page paper outlining the following:

1. Evaluate this question: “Why is project scope management considered the foundation element of a successful project?”

2. Lessons Learned: Please identify 3 project scope management lessons learned or best practices. How will you use these lessons or best practices in the future to ensure successful project planning?

3. Integration: Explain how project scope management processes and outputs are used by other project management elements (for example, project scheduling, resource allocation, budgeting, risk management and quality management).

4. Please provide at least 4 additional references outside the course texts and guides.

Format

Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow in all three elements of this assignment. Think of this short list as a quality control checklist, along with the attached grading rubric.

· Paper should be submitted as a single file (MsWord or .pdf)

· You should include a cover page
