Reflect and write (at least 3 paragraphs) about
your overall learning in the project management course for this semester. What have you learnt?
Project management has proven to
be one of essential processes of an organization. Project management is vital
to ensure that you have the right skills and knowledge when it comes to
managing a project. Project management has helped me to become a better person by
providing me with a better sense of your and resources.
Project management provides an
individual with many benefits. On a personal level its has taught me the
importance of time and setting of goals and objectives. It has allowed me to
better prioritize my goals as well as assist in making better use of my time. Project
management has also provided me with the ability to connect and interact with a
more diverse group of people. This ability has improved my networking abilities
which has provided me with more career opportunities.
In closing, I would recommend
project management as a course to anyone aspiring to me in any managerial position
varying from a regular supervisor to an entrepreneur. It provides many time
management strategies, social interaction strategies and goal management
techniques that will prove to be vital to any individual in a managerial position.

How has the project management class/teachings
impacted you personally? Specifically comment on all of the following areas:
a.
Self
The project management course has taught methods used to better interact
will person with different personalities and from different backgrounds and
through this new skill its has allowed me to make new friends and acquaintances
and therefore improved my social life.
b.
Discipline
Through the time management strategies taught in project management, I
have been better able to identify goals and assign time periods for each goal. This
has improved my efficiency in completing tasks and has allowed me to be better
able to stay focused on a specific task.
c.
Managing a team
For the specific project that we carried out. I personally did not have
to manage the team member because all team members carried out their assigned
task and the group have very good communication. Therefore, I would have to say
that the course taught me that teams can be self-manage in specific situations.
d.
Working in a team
The course has taught me that respect is sometimes a more efficient way
to motivate team member to complete task rather than the fear of repercussions
if a task is not completed. It has also taught me how important various methods
of communication are and how to better interact to people through the multiple methods
of communications.
e.
Holding persons accountable
Project management has taught the right way to hold people accountable. It
has taught me that getting angry with people when they fall short is not a productive
process, having clear expectations, capability, feedback and consequences
better allow a team to be more productive and manage failures more efficiently.
