CS250 as a Project (status report)

     As we enter our fourth month in IT Project Management, let us take a quick look at how things are going so far (from a project perspective).  We have learned some paramount information concerning project planning, communication, dealing with different personalities, keeping motivated, and utilizing teamwork toward projects and project management.

     The group projects for actual clients have displayed real-world problems which project managers have had to overcome.  This is a great teaching tool, in that it shows no matter how much you learn in a classroom environment, it means nothing until applied to real-life situations and application.  While everyone thinks that a project will not fail, because we follow all the rules learned in the classroom, they are quickly learning how easy it is for a project to fail if not constantly maintained.  Communication has been the key to knowing where the projects are, and what still needs to get done.
