DB#5: Process Groups in Different Contexts
Consider how implementing the project integration management process groups might differ in:
- A large, Fortune 500 technology company with 50,000 employees and very involved stockholders
- A small, aggressive start-up technology firm with 150 employees and a brief (but positive) history
Post your thoughts on what the key differences might be between the two, supporting your assertions with textbook citations.
Interact with this statement, paraphrased from a successful corporate CEO: "The core steps of project integration management include Project Charters, Project Management Plans, Integrated Change Control, and Project Closeout processes... but all of the above can quickly become a quagmire of excessive documentation and time consuming, non-value-added shelfware if the project manager isn't careful." True or false? Wisdom or folly?
Include scholarly references, and remember to reply to two other students' posts.
Discussion Boards Rules:
Each week of the Management in IT course features mandatory Discussion Board participation. Learners are required to post a 200-400 word, grammatically correct entry on the topic presented. At least one scholarly reference - such as the course text or peer-reviewed journal articles - should be cited in APA format in each week's post (some exceptions are noted in the discussion instructions). In addition, each week you are required to post a response to at least two other students’ initial post. These response posts must be substantial, not simply “Great post!”, and should offer comments, questions, or suggestions to promote further discussion. Initial posts are due by the end of Tuesday of each week. Response posts are due by the end of Friday of each week. Rubrics are presented with each discussion to provide clarity on the grading criteria.
DUE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH @11PM
