Case Study 1.2 the Hokies Lunch Group (Viktoria, Jasper and Fatma) Erik w. Larson Clifford F. gray Algoma university Introduction to project management. Syed Ishteaque Ahmed 20 September 2023

Case Study 1.2 the Hokies Lunch Group 1. For each part what phase of the project life cycle is each project in? The project Fatma was in charge of was just getting started at section A. I was motivated by something Fatma said while she and her two pals were having lunch in a hotel. Victoria and Jasper were Fatma's buddies. A lot of businesses in the construction sector are partners with Fatma's successful online company, according to Wu and Cormican (2016). She said that it has been challenging to clarify the project's scope to Jasper and Viktoria. The project that Jasper is in charge of in section A has likewise recently started. Based on how she presented the PAX 2 assignment in section A, Victoria's example demonstrates that the project was at its third stage, or project execution. The interactions between Viktoria, Jasper, and Fatma in Part B make it clear that the project she was in charge of was still in the project execution stage. When she met with her companions, she informed them that their alternative project was succeeding as evidenced by the passing of tests (Wu & Cormican, 2016). Project planning, where potential risks to the business are evaluated, was handled by Jasper and his colleagues in section B. A further indication that Fatma's project was in the planning stages was the fact that she solicited advice from her friends on how to arrange its execution (Wu & Cormican, 2016). Project manager at Part B, Viktoria, was still working on implementation. This is reflected in Victoria's statement that she had both good and bad news to share with her friends. The good news, according to Viktoria, was that their project strategy had started a distinct operational project to start risk mitigation strategies for the project's execution. Project closure was approaching for the Part C project that Jasper and his two other teammates, the Indian programmer Raja and the Swedish programmer Alex, were working on. Jasper's remarks to his friends that "Despite our best efforts we couldn't deliver" are evidence for this point of view. Fatma was also in charge of a project that was almost finished. When Viktoria's project was getting close to being finished, she is heard remarking, "I hate closing out a project, it is boring."

2. What are two important things you learned about working on projects from the case? Networking is essential for success and career growth. The story of Fatma, Jasper, and Viktoria demonstrates how impromptu connections at gathering led to the creation of a strong support system. Establishing and sustaining such connections may lead to a number of benefits, including mentorship, industry insights, and even potential career opportunities. With access to opportunities and a broader knowledge base that might be useful for professional advancement, these connections one's lifeline in a job market where competition is harsh. The story so illustrates how important networking is in the modern professional setting. The crucial role Fatma had in dividing up the work among her coworkers emphasizes how difficult decisions are to make in professional settings. It may be quite difficult to strike the correct balance between personal relationships and professional obligations. It requires both keen judgment and the capability to make challenging decisions when necessary. This emphasizes the critical need of strong leadership in the workplace. Effective leaders must negotiate the tricky terrain of interpersonal interactions while making sure that the organization's overall goals and objectives are achieved. The success of the company and employee morale are ultimately impacted by their capacity to use good judgment and make difficult decisions, which makes a vital contribution to maintaining a peaceful and productive work environment. 3. Why are they important? Since they offer useful advice on project management and career advancement, the lessons learned from the Hokies Lunch Group incident are quite important. Through networking and relationship-building, support, direction, and professional opportunities may be gained. Understanding project management concerns, such as scope definition, risk management, and adaptation, is crucial to the effective completion of a project. The story also highlights how crucial work-life balance is to avoiding burnout. Strong leadership and decision-making skills are necessary for managing relationships
