OBM247 (CHAPTER 3): MANAGING CURRENT RECORD

1.0 Project Management Overview

Learning Activities

Is this where we introduce the scenario? I think it might be. Perhaps as a recap of section 1, making linkages to the scenario?

1.5 Project Management Glossary of Terms

e.g. Project Charter Business Case Work breakdown structure (WBS) Milestone etc, etc,

In conversation with Paul, he and I were not sure if it made sense to make an activity or actual "content content" out of these. I think that 1.4 and 1.5 feel more like a resources page or a series of "terms you should know".

1.4 Project Management methodologies

By industry

e.g. Business, Technologies, Construction

Here is a definition section.. see below for my thoughts about this.

e.g. Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, Kanban

1.3 Where do projects come from?

This whole section feels like it could be presented on screen as a sort of rollover/or on click definition "activity lite".

Authority to Proceed

Feasibility Prototyping Pilot program Just do it (JDI)

Financial Analysis

e.g. Return on investment (ROI), Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

Project Selection

Opportunity Improvement Directive/Mandated

Strategic Planning

e.g. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT)

Company Goals

Strategic Direction

1.2 What is Project Management?

Why is Project Management important?

I am not totally sure, but I think this is where we dig into the scenario for real. I'm not sure if this is were we introduce it or not.. thoughts?

Also I think this could be a matching/decision tree sort of activity. With our first, brief, intro of the concepts of risk management, risk mitigation, management of people (resources) and money as well as assuring outcomes

Project v Program v Portfolio

Here I would suggest going with a definition of the three things (as a review partially) and the a matching exercise. Moodle can handle it natively.

Examples of managed projects

Here we give them some light case studies, with an emphasis on (for now, in this iteration) NZ or Australasian examples.

Same as above. Cold, hard facts and move on.

1.1 What is a Project?

Examples of Projects

The goal here is to show link things they know in their day to day life (Planning a trip etc) to the scenario. It is to show them that, in an informal way, they already know about management

Project v Business as usual

This is a matching exercise I think. Basically the idea is that we teach via the formative feed back. So we have a series of projects and a series of BAU and we get them to match them to the correct pie.

no lets keep it at pie :)

Pile obviously

Definition

Definitions are, by their nature, pretty prescriptive, I was thinking we present them a video or a short text to read and move them along to the next bits ASAP.
