7/4 Visiting Other Blogs

C Review at least two other students' Assignments in Ch 3 and 4 and comment on at least one of them using the blog forum. Is the Statement of Work clear and concise? Is the project well defined? Any major difference between yours and theirs? Is their Stakeholder analysis complete? Any improvement you can suggest to the other student(s)? How (or if) you can improve your own after reviewing other papers?
20-45 min. Post your feedback to the blog forum under the topic of the author.

I visited Kerry’s blog but I got an error message…

Re: DRAFT-Stakeholder Analysis

  Hi Cristine,

Good job on all the forms. Some comments/questions:

1. I was wondering how your group is approaching the skype sessions (e.g. when you wrote "Our group is in the process of finalizing our stakeholder analysis"). Does that mean that you guys will produce by committee an identical form, but for grading purposes, each of you just put your own name on it to submit? Our group chose to use discussion time to brainstorm ideas, but each member will ultimately decide which ideas to use on the forms and create his/her unique version of the forms. We decide this based on the belief that each person is unique and should reflect his/her uniqueness as PM when approaching the forms.

2. As for who will be the project manager, it's my understanding that for the exercises (e.g. filling out forms), we each consider ourselves project manager of the orientation. But for the actual orientation in August, Dr. Tao will probably have us figure out project manager and team member roles.

3. The uLearn asks us to post the forms as replies to our blog post in this forum. I think Dr. Tao requests this for us to simplify the number of threads in the forum and to enable participants to follow each person's work easier.

4. I don't know this for sure, but I think we are supposed to post a copy of our forms as a reply/replies to our blog post and post them on our blog (as one entry or separate entries, up to us).

Hi Daniel,

Thanks! #1 When I posted all the forms they were drafts (me being the Project Manager-PM) then moved on to meeting with the team. Thereafter, we were able to talk about the finalized version via Skype. The team produced an identical form per Eric's instruction on uLearn of course for grading purposes. The group decided to use everyone's ideas to be on the same page. #2 The group decided me as the PM and the rest are stakeholders (with their designated roles) for the orientation project. In our forms, we should all have the same ideas so all of our names with roles are there. #3 I believe posting in the forum, the reply should comment about what is different about your project vs. the other project for example. What is missing, etc. Is there any improvement, etc. #4 At this point, our team is pretty much comfortable with our forms.

I believe that Eric wants us to post this updated forms in our own blog per last F2F meeting on 6/30.
