Initial Postings: Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook must be the primary source utilized and listed in your reference section (and properly cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion. This means that they support the material from the textbook. Do not use other sources to substitute for or replace the textbook. 

Provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

  1. Define and provide one example each of a known known, known unknown, and unknown unknown you have encountered on previous projects. Which of the these would be addressed during planning phase? Which would be the basis for listing on a risk register? Why?
  2. To help identify risks, what are some questions a project manager could ask when reviewing the project charter and WBS? Why would these be the questions to ask?

Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!

Your initial post should be at least 500+ words and in APA format (written in full , using proper paragraph structure, sources cited within the body of the main text and Times New Roman with font size 12).

Submitting the Initial Posting: Your initial post should be completed by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. EST. 

Response to Other Student Postings:  Respond substantively (at least 100 words) to the post of at least two peers, by Friday, 11:59 p.m. EST. A peer response such as “I agree with her,” or “I liked what he said about that” or similar comments are not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. Also, just repeating information from the course material or your own initial post does not satisfy these criteria.

Continue the discussion through Sunday, 11:59 p.m. EST by highlighting differences between your postings and your colleagues’ postings. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives. This means an on-going conversation in addition to the two required responses above.

Evaluation of posts and responses: Your initial posts and peer responses will be evaluated on the basis of the kind of critical thinking and engagement displayed. The grading rubric evaluates the content based on four areas: Content Knowledge & Structure, Critical Thinking, Presentation & Writing Mechanics, and Response to Other Students

Discussion 11 (Analyzing)

 

This week we turn our attention to annotations.  Annotation is a crucial component of good data visualization.  It can turn a boring graphic into an interesting and insightful way to convey information.  This week, please navigate to any site and find a graphic that could use some annotation work.  Add the graphic and the website it is found as an attachment to this post and note what you would do to enhance the graphic and note why you would make these decisions.

In response to peers, add additional information to their posts noting what else could be done to enhance the graphic.

This should be a minimum of 300 words, checked with Grammarly, with at least one APA formatted reference.

Project Risk Planning

Approach to risk is same on any project:

Identify

Assess

Respond

Level of depth/energy expended on risk planning varies greatly among projects

Purpose of risk management is to reduce overall project risk to acceptable level (NOT to avoid risk entirely)

More detailed risk management in iteration planning, daily stand-up meetings, retrospectives

PMBOK Exams

As PM, your goal is to complete your project on time, on budget, at an agreed upon level of quality, & to the satisfaction of your client and other stakeholders. Risks are anything that could impede—or help—you in this goal.

Remember that, according to PMI, project risks can be negative or positive.

Strategies for dealing with negative risks, or threats, are as follow: avoid, transfer, mitigate, research, & accept.

Strategies for dealing with positive threats, or opportunities are the following: exploit, enhance, share, research, & accept.

In creating a risk management plan, the first step is to identify all possible risks.

While it may seem counterintuitive, you do not want to plan for all risks.

Only the risks that emerge as “major” based on probability of occurrence & potential impact are actively planned for.

All projects make use of qualitative planning, & larger projects often proceed to quantitative planning (if may help you to remember that the “l” in qualitative comes alphabetically before the “n” in quantitative). Be familiar with the most common quantitative assessments.
