Write this assignment regarding "Comparing Different Estimation Methods for Software Effort"
Team Leadership Blog
Purpose
To encourage students to expand their thinking through reading and sharing of their ideas in a web 2.0 format used by many project managers.
Background
A blog is a discussion or informational site published on the web consisting of regular entries or posts in chronological order. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other websites. Many blogs focus on a particular topic; team blogs will focus on an area of project management leadership.
Blogs are useful for first time and experienced project managers, and are widely used in the industry. The purpose of your project management leadership blog is to share the results of your research and investigations with other members of your team, and gather their feedback regarding your thoughts and ideas.
Requirements
Each individual student is required to select one (1) peer reviewed journal article from the list of four (4) journal articles provided on project management leadership related to the course (see below). Each individual student is required to write a blog critically analysing their selected journal article, including an introduction, summary, analysis, and conclusion (approximately 1200-1500 words). The review should be supported by references from the literature, demonstrating wider reading and critical thinking (approximately 6-10 references).
In addition, each individual student will be required to review one (1) other student's blog (approximately 100-150 words per review). Reviews should provide a deep analysis of the critique as well as suggesting applications and consequences of the ideas presented.
Select one (1) of the following articles:
- Cullen, C., & Leavy, B. (2017). The lived experience of project leadership in a loosely coupled transient context. International Journal of Managing Projects in Business, 10(3), 600-620.
- Mihalache, A. (2017). Project management tools for agile teams. Informatica Economica, 21(4), 85-93.
- Abulalqader, F. A., & Ali, A. W. (2018, November). Comparing Different Estimation Methods for Software Effort. In 2018 1st Annual International Conference on Information and Sciences (AiCIS) (pp. 13-22). IEEE.
- Zuofa, T., & Ochieng, E. G. (2017). Working separately but together: appraising virtual project team challenges. Team Performance Management: An International Journal, 23(5/6), 227-242.
A quality project management blog will be clearly articulated and professionally presented. It should demonstrate analysis, and a synthesis of content, knowledge, skills, and ideas acquired from lectures, tutorials and academic authors. It will include a well written introduction which catches the reader's attention, sets the scope of the blog, indicates the aims of the blog, and provides an overall plan for the blog. The summary should include a brief outline of the main ideas of the paper. The analysis should explain both the strengths and weaknesses of the key arguments and should be supported by evidence. The conclusion should revise the main ideas and include clear implications of your findings.
