Questions

The PMBOK Guide defines virtual teams as “groups of people with a shared goal who fulfill their roles with little or no time spent meeting face to face” (PMI, 2017, p. 725).

1) The latest edition of the PMBOK Guide describes “virtual teams/distributed teams” as one of the trends and emerging practices in project resource management for optimizing resource utilization (PMI, 2017, p. 310). Chapter 9 explains some of the potential benefits and challenges of virtual teams (pp. 311, 333, 340). Pick one of these benefits or challenges and explain how it impacted your PMAN 638 group. Cite the PMBOK Guide in your response.

2) Assume your global company is forming a new team, and several members with unique expertise for the team’s designated project are located in different countries. Your travel budget provides for one face-to-face meeting per year. After this first meeting, you must establish the “communications management plan” for this culturally diverse group. Identify 3 elements in your plan that would be different from the same elements in a “communications management plan” for a team composed of members who are all co-located in your project management office (PMO). Provide support from the “How to Manage Virtual Teams” article (see Week 10 Reading List) in your response.

Question

The Center for Project Management in San Ramon, California, examined 24 IT projects and compiled a list of ten dumb mistakes. The center then presented this list to 50 conference attendees and asked them to grade their organization on each mistake. The average grade was between a C+ and D. Here are the ten mistakes:

1. Mistaking every half-baked idea for a viable project.
2. Overlooking stakeholders, forgetting the champions, and ignoring the nemesis.
3. Not assessing the project’s complexity.
4. Not developing a comprehensive project charter.
5. Not developing a comprehensive project plan.
6. Not designing a functional project organization.
7. Accepting or developing unrealistic or unachievable estimates.
8. Accepting status reports that contain mostly noise and not enough signal.
9. Looking back and not ahead.
10. Not following a robust project process architecture.

Read the above list and find an example of a project for which this is the case. The project can be one that you have personal experience with or that you have read or heard about. Describe the example and state which of the mistakes was made with respect to the project. (Note that there may be more than one for a particular project.) If you choose a project in the news, provide a citation so that your classmates can read more about it. Minimum length of response is 100 words.
