ITEC 640 Information Technology Project Management

Final Exam

This is an essay exam. Please format in APA style. Please take a graduate-level, well thought-out approach to your responses. Surface-level answers will not receive full credit.

1. First, select two projects of your choice. One should be a smaller project, and the other should be more large-scale. 10 points

a. Describe the small-scale project:

b. Describe the large-scale project:

2. In the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), the Project Management Institute (PMI) identifies ten Knowledge Areas.

a. Name the ten Knowledge Areas. (Note: I filled in #10, as it’s not obvious in your reading.) 10 points

b. For each Knowledge Area, explain what project tasks are necessary and which tools can be utilized for project success within this Knowledge Area. 80 points

· Instructions:

· How might these processes and strategies differ for the two projects you chose?

· If a chart, table, or diagram is necessary for tasks within a Knowledge Area, create and display them for each project. Again, explain how and why they are different for the two projects. (Not every Area will require a chart/table/diagram.)

· Assume at least 5 major tasks for the large project, and at least 3 for the small project. For simplicity, no need to go to the sub-task level.

· Feel free to make any other assumptions about your projects, but please explain them.

· You will be graded based on your understanding of the project management process, as well as your demonstrated knowledge of project variety.
