Your supervisor, the senior manager for the PMO, has returned from a conference in Chicago. One of the

speakers at the conference presented an overview of the success and benefits of using an adaptive project

management methodology called Agile. Your supervisor wants to introduce the concept of adaptive project

management (APM) to the staff of the PMO. As the newest person on the staff, you are asked to create a short

slide presentation to be presented by your supervisor at the next weekly staff meeting. You are instructed to

keep it short. You will write a more detailed narrative in the speaker notes that accompany the slides (if you are

using PowerPoint, add your notes at the bottom of each slide where it says “Click to add notes”). You will describe

the characteristics of adaptive project management methodologies and compare them with traditional project

management, highlighting the pros and cons. Your peers in the PMO are the target audience for this presentation.

For additional details, please refer to the Module One Short Presentation Guidelines and Rubric PDF document.

First, introduce yourself to the class. Include your major and anything

you would like to share about yourself. Then address the prompt

below.

You are the newly hired junior member on the staff in the Program

Management Office (PMO) of your company. The weekly staff

meeting was cancelled because the senior manager for the PMO is in

Chicago at a conference. So, instead, the office is conducting a

professional development session. This PMO closely follows the

PMBOK. By way of review, you are asked to lead the discussion by

describing the key components, roles, and responsibilities found in

traditional project management as defined by the PMBOK. Select one

element of the PMBOK processes that you feel is most important to

the execution of a project, and explain why you think it is the most

important. Compose a written discussion post of your descriptions.

Provide your initial response to the scenario presented, and respond

to at least two of your peers. When providing feedback to your peers,

comment on what they posted as the most important element of

PMBOK.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric

PDF document.
