IFSM 438 Week 1 Discussion For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   How can we define
project success? Based on what you have seen in
your own experience, and based on what you have
read so far, how would YOU define a successful
project? What do you think contributes to a
project being unsuccessful? And, when you read
about HUGE failures, do you believe they are, in
fact, failures? Please provide examples and
explain your answers. One or two paragraphs is
all that is required. Remember that the quality
of your participation and contributions to these
discussions can and does make a difference in
your overall course grade.

Management Scope Creep (1)  What is scope
creep?  (Note  The textbook seems to have a
partial definition, leaving out some factors.  So
while you may wish to start with the textbook,
don't end there.  Do a little research on the
Internet or in a library, for instance, to see
what factors are involved.  Then give a better
definition of Scope Creep in your own words (but
also properly citing any references you used).)

Discussions First, consider the following case
study scenario You are the newly appointed PM
for a major new project in your company.  You
just stepped in and haven't yet had a chance to
analyze the project.  This project has
significant executive support and an engaged
executive sponsor.  The project's executive
sponsor catches you in the hallway on your day
first or so on the job and asks you whether you
will be able to complete the project in less than

Discussions Estimation Inaccuracies Consider a
situation you've experienced when you made an
inaccurate estimation for the duration of some
activity.  It doesn't necessarily need to be
during a project (though that would be desirable
if possible).  a)    What was the situation? b) 
  Describe how you made the estimate.  Discuss
your reasoning for estimating the duration of the
activity the way you did.

IFSM 438 Week 5 Discussions Project Risk
Management For more classes visit www.snaptutori
al.com   Week 5 Discussions First, consider the
following case study situation Risk management
often brings up ethical issues for project
managers.  For instance, software testing can be
done in several different ways and with several
different levels of rigor and comprehensiveness. 
Simpler tests may be faster and cheaper and may
involve less system downtime, possibly using
fewer test cases and fewer test runs.  More
robust testing may be rather expensive and time
consuming, including extensive and rigorous test
cases, many test runs, regression testing of
previously completed production software, and so
forth.

IFSM 438 Week 6 Discussions Project Quality
Management For more classes visit www.snaptutori
al.com   Week 6 Discussions First, consider the
following case study background In this modern
economic era of tight budgets, cutbacks, and
shortfalls in both budgets and staffs, most
organizations are pressured to "do more with
less".  Customers and executive sponsors push
projects  tocomplete earlier and cheaper, with
less budget funding, but with the same scope and
quality.  Rapid Application Development (RAD) and
Agile and Extreme development methods are
pushed.  The problem, as always, is with the
balance of the triple constraint (this time, with
the added factor of quality).

IFSM 438 Week 7 Discussions Project Execution
Management For more classes visit www.snaptutori
al.com     Week 7 Discussions First, consider the
following case study situation You are the PM
managing a project in which, during project
execution, some tasks actually take longer than
planned, some go over the planned budget, and the
occasional task takes less time than planned. 
What's more, some of each of these changed tasks
are on the critical path and some are not.  Due
to astute monitoring, you, as PM, have noticed
these changes from the plan.

Discussions "Around here, we keep half the people
ignorant so they aren't prejudiced, and half the
people prejudiced so they aren't ignorant."    --
Dr. Jay Shulman, c.1980 First, consider the
following case study background Because people
don't like to be the bearer of bad news, and are
sometimes afraid that their management may "kill
the messenger",
