Project Management (Discussion Questions) each discussion question response should be 1 page and have between 250 – 275 words. Provide 1 or 2 references/sources per discussion.

Discussion: Project Management
According to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), a project is defined as “a temporary endeavor to create a unique product, service or result” (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, 4th Ed. 2008, p.4).
Please tell us about a project that you have either managed or served as a team member. It should be something that you have accomplished at work, but you may use one from your personal life as a substitute. What was the “unique product, service, or result”? Describe overall experiences. Was the project well defined at the beginning? Did team members work together cooperatively? Be sure to make a good argument for your position.
Support your response with evidence from the readings or other resources, including your personal experiences and observations. It is not necessary to provide formal citations, but you should give the sources of your information.

Discussion: Project Planning
Project Planning is one of the most important aspects in the success of a project. As the old adage states: “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”
Tell us about a time when failure to plan caused a project to fail. You may choose a project from your work experience, your personal life, or a project you have read about in the news or an article. Be sure to make a good argument for your position regarding what caused the failure.

Discussion: Project Execution
Please discuss a project where you felt that the execution was completed successfully. What factors do you think contributed to this success? You may use the same project from SLP1 or use another one – that was successful! Provide the relevant details and be sure to make a good argument for your position.

Discussion: Project Control and Closing
