INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Answer 1
The major criteria for selecting the project for my assessment is analysis of cost benefit
ratio and the payback period of the project. The net present value of the project and the rate of
return are further considered while selecting the project. This is the part of checking the
feasibility of the project, which is essential before selecting a project. Apart from this, the
enterprise environmental factor and its impact on the project are analyzed properly before
undertaking the project. The benefit measurement method is further considered for evaluating the
economic viability and technical feasibility of the project.
Answer 2
Management of global project is an intensive task that requires proper evaluation of the
changes for which a change management plan is implemented. In order to properly manage a
global project, I at first developed a project management plan in order to eliminate the problem
of communication gap among the team members and the organization. One of the important
methods of managing change is identifying and critical job roles of the project team members
and their contribution to the team. It is a systemic application of knowledge that helps in
managing a project in case a change in scope of the project is needed to be addressed.
Answer 3
Enterprise environmental factors are those factors that are not in immediate control of the
project team. As a project manager, I should consider this factor from the start of the project as it
considerably influences the project. Identifying the enterprise environmental factor at the
beginning of the project is essential for managing the impact of these factors on global projects.

INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Learning plays an important role in professional development. Learning has helped me in
gaining adequate knowledge about the subject that has further helped me in applying that
knowledge in the practical field. The details about the tools and techniques I have applied in the
project are obtained from the studies I have achieved. Learning has considerably helped in
understanding the importance of teamwork, which was essential for managing a project in a
global context. The prior learning has therefore helped me in contributing effectively to the team
performance.
Answer 7
I consider my role in field of project management to be that of a project manager. A
project manager is a major figure of any project as he is responsible for managing the entire
project work. He is responsible for developing a proper project plan, execution of the project,
project monitoring and control. Furthermore, the contribution of the project manager to the team
is huge as the project manager has a large influence in the team. Project manager is a major
decision maker of the project and therefore, I believe that my role is that of a project manager in
the field of project management.
