NEW ANSWER ONLY please any previous answers will be reported and thumps down I have post same question 4 times and every time same answer!

Review the characteristics of what a "project" is in the Operations Management definition. Usually a unique task, unlike your normal job function that has a fixed start and end date and budget and specifications that are usually dictated by a customer. But as discussed in your text, a frequently repeated project like a graduation ceremony, house construction, large airplane build could be considered a project because different people and issues are often involved.

Have you been involved in a project as an employee, manager or customer? Give examples of the following as they pertain to the project:

1. The Work Breakdown Structure: Just list a few of the large major tasks (deliverables) and maybe an example of a low level task (work package). Was there a Gantt Chart of tasks or any other software for organizing and communicating project status?

2. Looking back, can you identify any tasks which were clearly on the Critical Path which means any delay in these would delay the project? . . . or clearly tasks with a lot of Slack that could be completed anytime?

3. Now that you've read something about Project Management, do you see any opportunities that the project could have been better managed for cost, quality or schedule performance?

Be sure you do not share any proprietary information or company or individual names in your answers. If you really cannot think of any projects you have been a part of, select a project related to your major:
