ii. Pick your favorite brand and look at the 5Cs for that company. What is the brand’s “situation analysis”? Based on that assessment and what you know of the brand, what recommendations would you make to the company regarding that brand or its business?

Task 3

It has been argued that without project management for very large projects, they are most certainly doomed to fail. Can the same be said for small projects? In this Discussion Board, you will explore this question and take it further by describing what tools and techniques you would still utilize to manage a small project.

The following Discussion Board research will assist you in determining each of these dimensions. Research at least 2 resources (which may include your textbook) to support your response.

- What tools, techniques, and methods that you would traditionally use in a larger project would you still incorporate in managing a small project?

- What do you envision the roles and responsibilities to be for smaller projects?

- Describe the schedule change management process that you would implement for smaller projects and how this differs from what you might use for larger projects.

Include an introduction and conclusion to this topic. Be sure to include your references and citations, and format your submission in APA format.
