Assignment 3: Planning Considerations for the HR Project

Due Week 6 and worth 145 points

At this point, you’ve organized your HR project team and you are familiar with the importance of leading and managing the project and team. It is now time to plan your project, which happens to be a large and critical part of project management. Project planning tends to be collaborative and integrative in that many factors, such as scope, resourcing, budgeting, and risk need to be considered.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

1. Define and discuss scope and scheduling as they each relate to project management and provide a “Statement of Importance” to your project team so they know the relevance of each task.
2. Review the behavioral skills associated with project resourcing listed in the textbook at Section 9.1. and select any four (4) of the skills you consider more critical. Be sure to explain why.
3. Explain to the management team and your project team how you have determined the budget associated with project costs. How are costs aggregated? How would you explain determining cash flow for separate activities? Be specific with your responses.
4. Discuss at least three (3) ways the project manager is able to identify possible project risks.
5. Go to https://research.strayer.edu to locate at least three (3) quality academic (peer-reviewed) resources in this assignment.
