Project Management Roles
[Define, compare and contrast the roles of program managers, project managers, assistant project
managers, and project coordinators. A search on careerbuilder.com and other employment
websites will help you define the characteristics of each role. How are these positions different?
To which of these positions would you like to aspire in your career? Why?]
Project Office Effectiveness
[What is a project office? Research its major roles and functions. Also, research who leads a
project office, and the manager to which this person should report in a typical organization.
Finally, research the effectiveness of project offices in helping a firm achieve its strategy. Does
your research support the idea that project offices help companies implement their strategy
effectively?]
Certifications in Project Management
[Go to pmi.org and research PMP®, CAPM® and PMI-ACP® credentials. How are these
credentials different? What are the requirements for sitting for the exams for these certifications?
What does it cost to take the examination? What is the main content (in brief) of the
certification? Summarize key elements of the certifications in an APA formatted table. How does
a person prepare for PMI certification exams? Share two methods of preparing for PMI exams
and what they cost]
PMP, CAPM, and PMI-ACP are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
Certifications and Degrees
[What is the difference between a certificate and a degree in project management? How are
degrees and certifications related?]
Functional Management
[Define what is meant by functional management. What is the relationship between functional
management, and project management? On what kinds of issues do project managers and
functional managers collaborate and interact?]
Ethics and Professional Behavior
[What is meant by the term ethics? Consult PMI’s ethical and professional standards found in the
Week 1 lesson or at pmi.org. Summarize three points in their standards that seem to be
interesting to you. Describe an ethical situation a project management professional might have to
face in their career. Also, describe how it might be handled to be consistent with PMI’s ethical
guidelines in the Week 1 lesson].
