MANAGING PROJECT RISK
1) “Building a Project Team” Please respond to the following:
- Referring to the team roles provided in Section 8.1.1 of the textbook, identify and describe yourself or someone you know that participated on a project. Determine who did not meet or add value to the overall project team.
- As the project faces unk-unks, determine the skills that you would need to develop as a project manager and a project team member.
2)
“Sensemaking” Please respond to the following:
- Chapter 8 emphasizes that unk-unk mind-set requires a culture of mindfulness and the ability of the project team to cope with fundamental changes without losing orientation and morale. Think of a project team experience that you personally know about or one that you heard about that will help you complete the following tasks:
- After summarizing the project, identify the problems that caused the team breakdown.
- Determine how sensemaking contributed to the social cohesion. If it was not used, how could it have resolved the breakdowns?
- As a project manager, discuss how you foster an unk-unk mind-set.
