Advance Project Management Journey

https://kissflow.com/hubfs/project-scope-management.png      Today, I focused on progress on the industry analysis report I am preparing for the Human Resources (HR) department at Holy Cross of Mintal. This report is part of an assignment that involves applying project scope management principles, which is the knowledge area (KA) I’ve been assigned. I initially intended to consult with our professor about my work; however, I was notified a few days ago that he would be unavailable due to professional commitments outside our City. Knowing this in advance, I planned to use the day independently by working at our school, concentrating on research, and refining the structure of my analysis.      With the professor’s absence accounted for, I organized my day to focus on relevant project scope management practices, especially regarding their application to HR functions within educational institutions. Specifically, I am examining ways to apply scope management to...

       Today marked another insightful day in my journey toward earning a master’s degree. Each day brings new lessons and challenges, and today was no different. Our main focus was conducting an industry analysis—a crucial part of our studies that allows us to apply theoretical concepts in real-world settings. This experience was both educational and eye-opening, giving me a deeper understanding of project management in a functioning HR department.      As our professor emphasized, having a solid grasp of the nine knowledge areas outlined in project management is essential. These include integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, and procurement management. Understanding these areas equips us to offer valuable insights and practical solutions, whether for a small HR department or a large-scale organization. We are learning the fundamentals of project management and preparing ourselves to contribute meaningfully to ...

Initially, this day was scheduled for a face-to-face meeting with all of our subject professors, something I had been looking forward to for weeks. I was ready to interact, ask questions, and get clarity on the concepts we’ve been covering. However, as we are halfway through the first semester, the meeting was only dedicated to consultation sessions. The professors encouraged us to reach out if we needed guidance on our assignments or projects, but no formal class occurred.      Though the day's structure differed, it felt the same as most others. I remained focused on completing my tasks, one after another, without much break. The workload, while ...

     https://cagape.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/hcm_entrance.jpg      It was a productive day for our group as we embarked on planning the industry analysis report for the Holy Cross of Mintal's IT department. After several discussions and deliberations, we managed to successfully secure all the necessary documents to conduct our analysis. This achievement was significant, as acquiring the documents involved sending formal letters to the institution, ensuring that we followed the proper channels. The process gave us an early insight into the professionalism and formalities needed for projects like this. After completing this step, we entered the next phase: preparing for the actual data gathering and analysis.      We are currently in the initiation stage of the industry analysis process, which involves strategizing and organizing how we will gather information on the IT department’s existing processes. Our team is now focused on determini...

Although we did not have a formal class meeting with our professor, my classmates and I took the initiative to convene and work on one of the key deliverables for our subject. The experience turned out to be quite engaging as I collaborated with a group of individuals who, despite coming from diverse professional backgrounds, all shared a common objective—successfully completing our industry analysis team report.      We began our meeting by brainstorming ideas for the project, discussing what industry we wanted to focus on, and how we could best organize our efforts to produce a well-rounded and insightful report. It was fascinating to see how each person contributed from their unique perspective, offering insights from their respective fields, which added richness to our discussion. As someone who is currently navigating the transition betwee...

It was the last session in which our professor discussed the requirements we needed to fulfill in his subject. As graduate students in the Master in Information Technology program, we knew this was no ordinary class. There was a weight to the moment because, on this day, we discussed the most crucial project that would ultimately determine whether or not we would graduate on time: our capstone project.      The instructions from our professor were clear and seemingly simple. He told us that we needed to start planning our capstone project now, in the first year of our program. This would give us a full year to develop it and ensure that by the time we reached our second...
