Spring 2017 March 29, 2017 IT Project Management Bonus Note: This is a bonus report and so it is optional Project Management involves proper planning and execution. Take two projects - one from US and one from another country and explain how these projects were completed. By the very nature of this assignment, we are only interested in projects that got completed. You should mention if it was completed on time and within budget within your report. All aspects of Project Management should be discussed in this report. I will be looking for the Gantt Chart for each of these projects that you write about. You may give a summary of the Gantt Chart based on their completion schedule. It can be approximate to what the projects followed. Use the Report Template posted on Blackboard for report content. This template has the grading rubric built-in. For writing this report you should check both print and online resources. You may use any information from newspapers, only to the extent that you can corroborate them from other reliable sources. Follow the guidelines in the syllabus for preparing the report. The report should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on the due date to the SafeAssignment link on Blackboard. Several minutes after submission you should be able to see the originality Report in Blackboard under the column “Matching” for your submission. Include 5 to 10 references and list the reference details such as author(s), volume, page numbers, year of publication or web link, as the case may be. Use at least two references from print sources such as a journal. Do not collaborate with any other student in class in writing this report. I am looking for your analysis of the information that you present and so any item quoted should be brief. If the originality report shows a match of more than 15% then I will consider the report to be not your work and deduct points accordingly. If the originality report shows a match of 50% or more then I will consider the report to be plagiarized and will take appropriate actions, including assigning an F grade for the course and/or reporting the matter to the appropriate authorities at TSU as mentioned in the syllabus. Report Template (Use the guidelines in this report to prepare your report. I have indicated the points for various segments of the report based on a maximum of 50 points) Title of the Report (centered and boldfaced) 1 point Your name 1 point Abstract (between 200 and 250 words) 5 points Abstract should be descriptive of the report content. It should highlight the main features of the report. It is intended to help the reader continue reading the report beyond the Abstract. Do not include any references in the Abstract. It should not be an introduction to the topic describing other related items. Introduction 3 points (describe here the relationship of the topic to other items that you consider important). This should not be more than one page in length. Main report 35 points This should contain subheadings so that the various parts of the report are highlighted. This is intended to help the reader focus on the area of interest for them. Address all the items specified in the write-up. Every acronym used must be expanded the first time it is used. First give the expansion and put the acronym in parentheses. For each additional use you can use the acronym only. Any item you use in the References section must be referenced in the body of the text. The APA format convention is (last name of the first author, year). The parentheses are part of the citation in the text. For example, if you have the reference Wilson, J. 2012. Significance of Project Management, Journal of Project Management, vol. 20, #3, 45-52. included in the References section, then you will cite this reference in the body of the text as (Wilson, 2012). References 5 points Follow the APA format. The listing above follows the APA format. If you need further help you can Google “APA format” and find several samples. Follow the instructions in the write-up. Generally avoid news source references such as New York Times. If you use them do not list them in the references. Instead, find additional corroborating evidence from other sources and use that in your reference. The instructions given in the write-up require both print sources and web sources for the references. The web sources should be from reliable sources such as government sites such as www.nist.gov or from major companies such as www.ibm.com . The idea of the references is for the reader to go and read the full content in the reference, if necessary. For this reason the reference citation should be complete. Do not quickly conclude that a web document date is unknown and use “n.d.” for “no date.” Try to check further to see if you can locate this document with a date mentioned. If you have time contact the author to find out the date of publication. The general rule is “n.d.” should be used sparingly.

The paper will look into the relationship between the methodologies and the projects
performances and compare the two and see how well they fair in their respective markets. A
critical analysis on both projects will reveal the process taken by each project and follow on its
successful launch into their respective markets. The two projects were executed in two different
countries in terms of economic and social structure and this paper will show the effectiveness of
each project in their respective country of origin. The size and type of any project determine the
methodology used to fit the organizational structure.
