Final Exam                                                                                        

Release: Fri, Apr 13; due back Fri, Apr 20, 11:59pm EST, post to Assignments.

PART I

Select two projects of your choice.* One should be a smaller project, and the other should be more large-scale. You may define "small" and "large" however you choose.

*DO NOT use your group project.

*If you use a project that you or any other student suggested for a discussion post, you must do the following:

·        Indicate which post the project example was suggested in (name of student, Week X, posted on X/X/18)

·        Expand or change the project described in the discussion, and explain how you did so (i.e., please don't copy-paste the post)

Describe the small-scale project:

(Previous discussion post? Note Week, student, post date, how you've modified it)

Describe the large-scale project:

(Previous discussion post? Note Week, student, post date, how you've modified it)

PART II

In the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), the Project Management Institute (PMI) identifies ten Knowledge Areas.

·        Name these ten Knowledge Areas as indicated in the list below. Note: I filled in #10, as it's not obvious from your reading. 5 points

·        For each Knowledge Area, explain what project tasks are necessary and which tools can be utilized for project success within this Knowledge Area. These may be the same for your two projects, or they may be different. 100 points

o How might these processes and strategies differ for the two projects you chose? Will different aspects be more important for a small or large project?

o If a chart, table, or diagram is necessary for tasks within a Knowledge Area, create and display them for each project. Again, explain how and why they are different for the two projects. (Don't worry, not every Area will require a chart/table/diagram.)

o Assume at least 5 major tasks for the large project, and at least 3 for the small project. For simplicity, no need to go to the sub-task level.

o Feel free to make any other assumptions about your projects, but please explain them.

o You will be graded based on your understanding of the project management process, as well as your demonstrated knowledge of project variety.
