Project management plays as their guide to established changes in the company. It provides them processes to a smooth flow of their projects. CASE: The Project Hand- off Method Dragon Z. Implosive, Russ J. Martingale, and James M. Waddled 1 .
Yes, there are multiple project managers in control of the project as it progressed through the development life cycle. With them, the management of the project was accomplished through a project management model. Hence, a project manager with the functional expertise specific to the phase of development the product was currently in assumed ownership of the project. 2. Yes, because it was clearly stated there that hand-off method of development is usually in smaller, less mature, and technically the companies focused into it although the true project management value is not well understood. . Hand- off method is projects by definition are finite, (pros) their impact should continue after they have been completed. (cons)The consequence (If not), one may question what the point of the project was in the first place. Many projects roll themselves Into operations. I en company snouts now De using the information or system that resulted from the project.

Definitions of culture mentioned in the case: Engineers pride – the habit of calling their selves “engineers”, which they are. “Run to the end” – the first priority was securing new business, and a concern for producing a product at times fell through cracks. Designers to cost (cost to design) – this approach implies that engineers first design the product, then they figure out the price, wanly ten customer may consoler overly malign customer centric – Is Delving able to help translate what customer’s precisely want of the product design. 2. What I want is Beck’s culture is that having that “Customer centric” approach.
It is good to know that this kind of culture can able to translate the customer’s wants. With this, they can provide a better service for the customer. CASE: The Jamming 1. The Jamming approach work well in the 2nd scenario. It was defined there as cohesive” which shows unity in spite of differences in cultures but showcasing each expertise to contribute in the project to meet success. 2.

It has a good effect if only the members would have a very good harmony working together.
In addition, its plasticity may be such great asset to multicultural project managers that many of them view it as ideal in the development of culturally responsive project management strategy like what they saying “two heads are better than one”. Meaning having different cultures is like having different evaluator that probably become the asset of the company . But like what the case Jamming basic design may not be in tune with all cultures and may not even be appropriate for the execution by teams composed of members with varying levels of competency in other people’s project management scripts.
I think it is the monitoring and controlling which is the most challenging among the rest of the processes because as it was define, Monitoring is collecting, recording, and reporting information concerning all aspects of the project performance that the project manager or toners In ten organization walls to Know Wendell controlling uses ten data supplied by monitoring to bring actual performance into approximate equivalence with planned performance. This process groups are very essential in terms of supplying and collecting information because of the fact that failure in this process will probably a failure in the whole project. .

The advantage of waterfall is that it has a discipline enforced: every phase has a defined start and end point, and progress can be conclusively identified by both vendor and client.
It reduces wastage of time, effort and neither risk of schedule slippage nor the expectation of the consumer not being met. This methodology was somehow unrealistic and unsuitable for the vagaries of the world. Thus, attaining the customer needs, estimating time and costs with accuracy is definitely difficult to achieve. Therefore, waterfall methodology is best suitable for projects which are table and assuring the customer needs at the first stage to reduce conflict. 2. For me, I will directly clear on creating the phases.
Creating steps which are not essential to the project should be terminated to reduce time consuming and can delay to the progress of the project. 3. Yes I agree with his way to solve the problems because he consider all the aspects and people involved before making any decision or actions to avoid the same problem with the involvement of Sam and Jason regarding the incorrect implementation of development phase.
