Introduction to Project
management seminars
|
Organization of the seminars
|
Logic of compiling activities,
budget, risks, goal of the day
|
|
Developing a project
SMART criterion, developing project idea and name
|
project - tomorrow day (waterfall type)
Create a team and work and brainstorm ideas for your future project
|
10 minutes to write down ideas,
students choose about 3 options and then determine the "+" and
"-" idea (advantages and disadvantages, whether to implement as a
project)
|
|
2
|
Compliance check - tomorrow's
project goals
|
feedback
|
Discussions, implementation
problems, learning from mistakes
|
|
Work on point no. 1 Project
definition (being processed 1.1 to 1.5)
|
SMART - setting the goal of the
project;
decision analysis
logical framework matrix (LFM)
|
Preparation of the project
goal, determination: result, benefits of the project, identification of the
main target group, definition of the problem solution (will be solved by the
project).
Students compile variants of
problem solving options: 1. I do nothing = current situation, 2. I do mimimum
= minimal change, 3. I do something = a fundamental change that causes
benefits and brings a new result / output
Students compile LFM -
horizontal and vertical logic in the matrix (achieving the goal, dividing the
project into parts, identification of outputs). The logic, if it is
fulfilled, I can move on in the project solution.
|
|

|
Check that sections 1.1 to 1.5
are complete
|
Feedback, emphasis on awareness
of variants (possibilities) and associated advantages / disadvantages
LFM logical structure
|
Discussion, exchange of
knowledge, the teacher gives feedback to the teams (questions, problems with
the topic, etc.)
|
|
Organizational structure of the
project (diagram); RACI matrix, point no. 1.6
|
Organizational structure of the project (diagram); RACI matrix
|
Creation of organizational
structure using variaty of diagram suitable for your project team and creation
of RACI matrix on the basis of responsibilities and roles in the project
|

Check that the Organizational
structure of the project (diagram); RACI matrix is complete
|
feedback
|
Discussion, exchange of
knowledge, the teacher gives feedback to the teams (questions, problems with
the topic, etc.)
|
|
Project product description
(points 2.1 to 2.7)
|
Drawing, or creation of a
prototype / model of the project product
Product user empathy map, Value
Added Canvas can also be used
|
Creative techniques - what the
final product of the project will look like, its composition. It can be a
photo of a model, drawing, prototype, etc. The goal is to have a clear idea
of what the final product of the project should look like and what it will
consist of.
Students will compile a map of
project user empathy, expectations for quality, acceptance criteria, quality
tolerance, responsibility for product acceptance

|
Project schedule (point no. 3.1.1
Start, end, project phases, milestones)
|
WBS, Gantt Chart
|
Use of MS Project (start of the
project, setting the calendar, division of the project into main and partial
tasks, chronology (continuity) of tasks, setting milestones, critical paths
|

knowledge, the teacher gives feedback to the teams (questions, problems with
the topic, etc.)

|
Project costs (point no. 3.2.1)
|
Create and enter all resources
in MS Project (labor, material and costs)
|
Use of MS Project to define
resources for each of your tasks, they type of the resources. Assign the
resources to each task. Brainsorming within teams, discussion, decision
making, data acquisition
