GTS Week 1 Practice A

In the project management course with Jenelle Ferrer, I learned specific steps that should be implemented during when managing a project. The first step that I recall is identifying the concept of the project. This is essentially carefully determining the idea for the project. During this phase, the decision making phase will identify if the project can be realistically completed. Next, the project needs to be defined. The project plan or the scope of the project can be put into writing or outlined to be performed by the group members. During this phase, prioritization is key when calculating a schedule and a budget and determining the resources needed. There are specific tools that can be used to chart the status of the project, to construct a schedule, to construct a budget, and to construct a risk analysis of the project. Resources must be charted when they are used to ensure that everything that is needed for the project is readily available for group members to carry out their specific tasks. These tools can be found online for free or for a nominal fee. The project needs to be launched and executed. Each team member resumes a responsibility and task for completing the project.
