Project management is the popular topic and is the current trend in all the fields. I always hear people working in all fields around me say "I am working on a project." or "I'm going on a business trip for a project." It sounds like we can define everything is a project. Therefore,that motivates me to learn about what project management is.
In this project management class,I would like to learn how SMART goals apply to real life situations,case study of project management in different field, examples of how manager manages a project from beginning to the end. Especially, I don't really understand about those tools--Gantt charts,CPM are used for.
I hope after taking this project management class, i will be able to do the project work in the real life situation and make the project management successful.
I was exposed to Gantt chart and CPM during my college days. But, never implement it when i first started working as i find it not practical, it's better for me to get on the floor and do the hands-on job to ensure the project deadlien is being met (which most of the time, you encounter hiccups or un-expected road blocks)
ReplyDeleteUntil one fine day - my ex-boss in Malaysia emphasize and encourage me to use this tool as my first step of project planning.
Initially, i spent few hours in cretaing this Gantt chart/ CPM.
But, once that is set up, it just take minutes for you to update or modify accordingly.
Well, i really need to thank him as it is one of the tool that helped to build up my career.
