manage a project management methodology
for an individual or organizational project.
Team building skills for a project as per the

complete the undertaken project

management. Routledge.
Kerzner Chapter 1 I understood the difference between the
project driven and non-project driven
organizations, defining the project success
depending on certain parameters. In addition
to that, the classification of the project, and
location of the project manager in an
organization or project.
Learning and understanding different
concepts of project management
throughout the project or professional life.
Sharing and helping the project team
members to improve the team efficiency
and success rate of the project.
With the use of the Prince2, I will be able to
manage the goals and objectives for a
project.

Academic
assignments:
Critical thinking
and writing
critically
Use of the mentioned books for project
management and different assignments
helped me to define the projects scope,
communication plans, stakeholder and risk
management for the projects.
In addition to that, detailed risk management
with the different steps like, identification,
assessment, mitigation and control of the risks
that may occur in the project life.
Thinking and writing critically helped me to
systematically improve the way I express
ideas for a certain given topic or scenario.
The skill of critical thinking helped me to
less rely on the teachers and guides for
guidance and instruction for any topic. with
critical thinking skills I became more self-
directed learner and independent in
academics.

Standards
 IJPM As this journal covers comprehensive number
of facets of project management and different
others trending topics, and techniques related
to the Prince2 and other project management
methodologies thus it helps me in gaining and
improving my knowledge on the project
management methodologies. In addition to
that, the agility required for the change
management due to the implementation of a
project.
From the experience I learnt the different
techniques that can help in project as well
as change management due to the
implementation of a project in an
organization.

 PMJ This journal discusses the complexity,
benefits risks, and resources used for the
some real life projects, thus it helped me to
get some idea about the complexity levels of
the projects which we will undertake in
future.
While handling the small scale projects we
tried to incorporate some of the ideas
gathered from the journals and adopted
them after modifying them as per our need.

effectively prioritize and manage different
tasks as well as resources that may comprise
in a projects. This helps the project team to
achieve operational improvement in a given
project.
It helped me review the projects that are
completed and get the details about the
issues that went wrong and caused in
extended schedule or budget for the
project
