Week 1 Success of a project is directly
proportional to the contribution made by
the heads of the project
Kerzner (2013) explained the success of a
project can be measured through the
actions undertaken by three group
members including customer’s
organization, parent organization, and
parent organization
I am associated with an organization
that does not have any PMO however;
effectively team members are managing
the operational activities within the
organization. I identified that there is a
fine line of difference between the
favorable selection and continued
business for the proposed tender.
The actions explained by the Kerzner
within a project management include
the project initiation, planning,
execution, and control and monitor, and
project closure. These approaches and
phases will be helpful in executing the
project in proper managerial way that
can be helpful in managing the
constraints of the project. The project
manager plays the most crucial role in
the execution and delivery of the
project. The main objectives of the
project include the above mentioned
phases and the project manager have to
develop the project plan, execute the
plan and continuously monitor and
audit the changes those need to be

implemented in manner to keep the
project on track. The success factor of
the project is the direct result of the
effort provided by the project manager
within the project.
Week 2 The facts learnt in the previous class are
the major constraints of the project that
even if the manager fails in single
constraint, the whole project will be
moved towards the failure.
Proper and effective implementation of
the OPM can be helpful for the
organization in manner to relate the
objectives and goals of the project with
the program, PM practices and principles,
portfolio and program.
I learnt the negative factors of the
project those are capable of sinking the
project and single project constraint can
affect the whole project. Despite of
these factors, the project could be
delivered successfully through the
application of the proper and effective
tools and techniques such as portfolio
management, Project Scheduling using
Gantt Chart, using MS project, checklist,
and others. I learnt about the
stakeholder analysis that depicts how to
identify the roles and responsibilities of
the stakeholders, how can I deliver an
effective communication between other
team members and executives.
Requirement analysis was another
phase of the project that emphasizes on
the identification of the functional and
non-functional requirements of the
project. Cost analysis, HR, Risk, Change
management, Procurement, and quality
were also included in this learning. This
guide helped and assisted me towards
the identification of the scope of the

Week 3 PMP code of Ethics
I learnt about the various practices that
can be helpful in enhancing the
professional development within a
project as a manager and what are the
possible and effective approaches
towards problem solving attitude.
These practices can enhance an
individual’s personality. I also get to know
about the importance of Staffing and how
it could be an effective measure for the
organizational development
Project manager should be capable of
handling the every aspect of the project
through proper and effective managerial
and leadership skills.
The workforce within a project is
completely dependent on the project
manager and he or she has the skills to
communicate with everyone and
managed everyone to be motivated
towards objectives and goals of the
project the best practices according to
me for the management of the work
force are the cost saving realization,
subcontractor evaluation, and
experienced gained from the previous
projects

accomplishment of the objectives and
activities of the project that will be

schedule, and sectors of the individuals

the context of the project. However,

depict milestones, and determine the
resources and their needs.

execution that makes it the most
necessary component for the project.
Considering the previous learnings, this
sector was very crucial and could be
accomplished in an effective and
efficient manner if project is undertaken
by an experienced or professional
project manager
Auditing, monitoring, and changes are
the major key success factor for any
project that needs to be delivered
whenever there is chance for the
improvement in the project. Practical
experiences also helpful for the
expectations those need to be
implemented during the
accomplishment of these objectives
within the project. Understanding the
scope and having a detailed
specification will set the expectation of
the product or service to be delivered.
“I have experienced firsthand when
engaging contractors that my
expectations of the completed product
differs from the outcome. Normally a
contractor will only deliver as per the
quoted specification (Kerzner 2013).”
