BUS 528-SU10 Project management
June 13,2010
Ordered the book but did not receive it yet, so not yet get chance to read through chap 1 and 2;
But I would like to share the thought to project management and how important it is in today's high tech industry; Just like the world, no country can live upon itself nowadays; The project scale and complexity we are dealing today is becoming more and more complexity. it is very common a project need cross companies and cross business departments within a company collaborations, in additional to the technical challenges originated for each project, how to define the project goal, manage the resources, dependencies and risks are the key factors to success.
My expectation to this class is to have better understand to the fundamentals and challenges of PM so that i can exercise the technique and skills acquired from this class to day-to-day practices.
Joddy....I also have not rec'd the book. I have a couple of other texts on PM, and you are so right in your assessment of cross-function team projects. Communication and checking assumptions are important keys for maintaining progress.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to working with you during the class.
