In this week's discussion, we will be sharing what we're learning about project management. Projects can be small, medium, and large in size. However, regardless of the project size, the fundamentals are the same for every project.

Instructions

The following are some of the important elements of a project:

• Scope Statement
• Scope Creep
• Triple Constraints
• Planning

Please define and elaborate on each element separatelyin the bulleted list above, and state why the topic is important to every project. Please give examples from your personal experience with respect to a project you've worked on.

Your project management experiences do not have to be in the professional world for them to count. Therefore, learn from this week's lessons what each of these topics means. Then, think a little bit about projects you have done.

Don't just state to the class that you don't have any experience working on projects. We've all experienced various projects in our lives such as building a treehouse, assembling a new computer system, or organizing a charity food drive. Each of these example projects can significantly benefit from identifying, defining, and understanding our topics above - scope statement, scope creep, triple constraints, and planning. With a little thought, there are many things that you can come up with to add value to our discussion.
