10. IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 1 Discussion For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com How can we define project success? Based on what you have seen in your own experience, and based on what you have read so far, how would YOU define a successful project? What do you think contributes to a project being unsuccessful? And, when you read about HUGE failures, do you believe they are, in fact, failures? Please provide examples and explain your answers. One or two paragraphs is all that is required. Remember that the quality of your participation and contributions to these discussions can and does make a difference in your overall course grade.

11. IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 2 Discussion Project Scope Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 2 Discussions - Project Scope Management Scope Creep (1) What is scope creep? (Note: The textbook seems to have a partial definition, leaving out some factors. So while you may wish to start with the textbook, don't end there. Do a little research on the Internet or in a library, for instance, to see what factors are involved. Then give a better definition of Scope Creep in your own words (but also properly citing any references you used).)

12. IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 3 Discussions Project Time and Schedule Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 3 Discussions First, consider the following case study scenario: You are the newly appointed PM for a major new project in your company. You just stepped in and haven't yet had a chance to analyze the project. This project has significant executive support and an engaged executive sponsor. The project's executive sponsor catches you in the hallway on your day first or so on the job and asks you whether you will be able to complete the project in less than 6 months. Then answer the following questions:

14. IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 5 Discussions Project Risk Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 5 Discussions First, consider the following case study situation: Risk management often brings up ethical issues for project managers. For instance, software testing can be done in several different ways and with several different levels of rigor and comprehensiveness. Simpler tests may be faster and cheaper and may involve less system downtime, possibly using fewer test cases and fewer test runs. More robust testing may be rather expensive and time consuming, including extensive and rigorous test cases, many test runs, regression testing of previously completed production software, and so forth.

15. IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 6 Discussions Project Quality Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 6 Discussions First, consider the following case study background: In this modern economic era of tight budgets, cutbacks, and shortfalls in both budgets and staffs, most organizations are pressured to "do more with less". Customers and executive sponsors push projects tocomplete earlier and cheaper, with less budget funding, but with the same scope and quality. Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Agile and Extreme development methods are pushed. The problem, as always, is with the balance of the triple constraint (this time, with the added factor of quality).

IFSM 438 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com IFSM 438 Week 7 Discussions Project Execution Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 7 Discussions First, consider the following case study situation: You are the PM managing a project in which, during project execution, some tasks actually take longer than planned, some go over the planned budget, and the occasional task takes less time than planned. What's more, some of each of these changed tasks are on the critical path and some are not. Due to astute monitoring, you, as PM, have noticed these changes from the plan. Now, answer the following questions:
