Given your knowledge and experience at the end of these courses, which course objectives did you master?
- Evaluating the risk management process in each of the phases of the project cycles.
- The project manager's role in risk management
- Prioritizing risks and impacts
- Creating reports
- The various tools to identify and assess impacts. I understand how to identify and assess them from an internal perspective. However, I am not correlating the tools in our text to my particular functions.
- Quality improvement methodologies for eliminating project risks. I understand the processes and their methodologies. I got that understanding from the course and actual practical application in my job. However, with the structure of my company and timelines, I don't see how we would be able to apply those methodologies to a project structure in the release time frames.
What obstacles did you run into during the course? How did you try to overcome them?
- As stated in my mid-term blog, my biggest obstacle has been learning how to do the assignments in the proper formats. While it may have seemed obvious, for some reason, it took me quite a few assignments to get it right. Well, I guess I didn't get it right as my final paper was spaced incorrectly.
How do you feel here at the end of a term as you look at your efforts and accomplishments?
- I feel like I learned things that I can apply to my career and it was well worth the class in terms of risk management and for my project certificate.
What did you learn this semester and how will you use that in your current or future work?
- The importance of risk management was driven home again. New tools such as the risk register. Academically, I will be more careful with my assignments and formatting to ensure I receive the highest grades possible.
Happy Summer Professor Gregory!
