Managing Project Communications

Visit the Library and read the article below in preparation for your Discussion Board posting.

This paper examines the relationship between the project management - customer's communication and the project success.

The agile software development methodology was introduced in February 2001, when the Agile Manifesto was conceived, based on four values:

1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools;

2. Working software over comprehensive documentation;

3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation; and

4. Responding to change over following a plan.

Holzmann, V., & Panizel, I. (2013). Communications management in scrum projects. Proceedings of the European Conference on Information Management, 67-74.

(Accession Number: 91956200) Is agile project management (APM) communication management any different from traditional project management (TPM) communication management?

As a result of reading the paper and drawing from your assigned readings, take a position (state your premise) that addresses these communications methodologies and support your position showing the situation (knowledge), an understanding of the situation (comprehension), and how it applies professionally (application).

Then, analyze your premise/position with a cited reference or example showing that you have considered all aspects relating to the implementation of your premise as advantages/disadvantages (analysis).

Finally, conclude with a restatement of your supported premise or a recommended course of action drawn from your analysis (synthesis) and then validate your conclusion or recommended course of action using cited references or examples not used in your analysis to avoid circular logic (evaluation).

Assignment A:

This Assignment is designed to evaluate your ability to research, organize, and demonstrate project data and financial information pertaining to the development of the feasibility study within the project planning phase.

These exercises mimic actual situations one could expect to occur between the project manager and their sponsor or key stakeholders.

Its assessments are directed toward measuring mastery in synthesis of information, proper classifications, critical thinking, and attention to detail, explanations, and professional acumen. Given the information provided you for your assigned rocket assembly project:

• Construct a fully decomposed work breakdown structure (WBS) for your assigned rocket project.

• Write your scope statement for your assigned Ansari X-Prize rocket assembly project.

You will need an evening for data collection. This will require about two hours to write up your findings. Download the appropriate templates. Alternatively you can use recommended internet links in the appendix of your text for a similar template. The document you use must meet all criteria specified in the grading rubric. Fill in all sections completely using your assigned assignment scenario found in Course

Resources.

1. See attached worksheet or locate an appropriate template from the internet that meets the rubric criteria. Using this worksheet and your assigned project, answer the sections on the worksheet. If there are sections missing from the template for the assigned documents but required in the rubric, be sure to address them. Upload all documents as separate files to the designated assignment Dropbox.

2. Go to the internet and find a product description template that meets the rubric criteria. Using this worksheet and your assigned project, answer the sections on the worksheet. Upload your fully decomposed WBS and Scope Statement to the designated dropbox.

3. Ensure that your project documents address the criteria of the rubric below and follow the stated requirements.

Assignment B:

You are in the process of pulling together the Scope Management Plan, the fully decomposed WBS, populating the Requirements Traceability Matrix, the Scope Statement, and the Communication Management Plan.

This Assignment is designed to evaluate your ability to research, organize, and demonstrate project data and financial information pertaining to the development of the quality aspects within the project planning phase. These exercises mimic actual situations one could expect to occur between the project manager and their sponsor or key stakeholders.

Its assessments are directed toward measuring mastery in synthesis of information, proper classifications, critical thinking, attention to detail, explanations, and professional acumen.

• Write your assigned rocket assembly project scope management plan.

• Develop your requirements traceability matrix with ID numbers correlating to your WBS numbering.

• Write your assigned rocket assembly project communications management plan. You will need an evening for data collection. This will require about two hours to write up your findings.
