Latest revision as of 15:09, 10 February 2023
As a part of the ongoing development of our basic course on project management I am looking for wiki articles on specific tools and concepts within each of the four perspectives: Purpose, People, Complexity, and uncertainty. Some of the topics are already covered in the ConceptBox but not all live up to our expected standards as discussed in class in terms of structure, content, references and use of “own” figures (i.e. no unauthorized copy & pasting from internet sources).
In general, we strongly recommend focussing your Wiki-article on a specific tool. So instead of, say, trying to write about "risk management", write about "Monte Carlo Simulations for Cost Estimation" (risks in project -> risk management -> risk assessment -> quantitative methods -> Monte Carlo simulation -> Monte Carlo for Cost Estimation). At that level of detail, it will be much, much easier for you to write actionable advice with good examples.
If you cannot find something that interests you on the following list, we suggest to review the table of contents of the project, program and portfolio management standards that we share as part of the course literature. You can also dive into the various process frameworks introduced in the standards. Again, our recommendation is to pick a particular method, and not try and write about "project controls" in general.
