Response Post on Blue Spider Project
After analyzing the student post I have realized that change management is one of the
most important project management knowledge areas that plays critical role in project success.
In order to exhibit project characteristics and other related key requirements the importance of
change management activities are elaborated successfully. The way through which change
management deals with project management integral needs are also clearly mentioned in this
post. The five stages of project change management are elaborated successfully. In order to
execute project change activities communication between associates is very important and that is
also discussed specifically on the basis of project case. I found that how chosen Blue Spider
project needs to implement change management activities to avoid the problems the organization
faced are properly elaborated.
These key issues can lead the Blue Spider project towards major failure however, with
successful change management plan theses issues can also be resolved and that is also elaborated
successfully throughout the student post. It is identified that the required materials used for the
design purpose are needed to be operated not above 130 °F. Due to this reason how the project
faced operational issue that are also elaborated in this discussion student post. However,
insufficient communication between associates, absence of proper formal schedule, improper
presentation of project finance report, messy task dependencies are the other issues faced by
Blue Spider Project. These are not mentioned and illustrated like the materials related one. I
think that these issues were also needed to be added to make the post more realistic and accurate.
