Assignment 4

Planning Considerations for the HR Project

Overview

At this point, you’ve organized your HR project team and you are  familiar with the importance of leading and managing the project and  team. It is now time to plan your project, which happens to be a large  and critical part of project management. Project planning tends to be  collaborative and integrative in that many factors, such as scope,  resourcing, budgeting, and risk, need to be considered.

Instructions

Write a 5–6 page paper in which you:

1. Define and discuss scope and scheduling as they each relate to  project management, and provide a statement of importance to your  project team so they know the relevance of each task.


2. Review the behavioral skills associated with project resourcing  listed in the textbook in Section 9.1, and select any four of the skills  you consider more critical. Be sure to explain why.


3. Explain to the management team and your project team how you have  determined the budget associated with project costs. How are costs  aggregated? How would you explain determining cash flow for separate  activities? Be specific with your responses.


4. Discuss at least three ways the project manager is able to identify possible project risks.


5. Go to Strayer University Online Library to locate at least three quality academic (peer-reviewed) resources for this assignment.
