Assignment - Reflective Summary

To develop your knowledge and understanding of project management, you need to start thinking about projects which come in different shapes and forms. The more you think and the more you practice project management; you will start understanding what it is about. The reflection summary can be written in a "learning diary format" which can be classed as knowledge management throughout the course. Additionally, the purpose of the learning diary is to give you the opportunity to record your own:

• Thoughts, confusions, insights and learnings.
• Gain Perspective. It helps you to think about your project from different angles.
• How are the key stakeholders influencing my projects?
• What are my greatest project risks?
• Clarity Thoughts. Clarity comes with writing. There is power is getting your random thoughts on paper. It helps you organize your thoughts.
• Plan Next Steps. Journal where you are in your projects and what you have accomplished.
• Identify Lessons Learned. What went well? What did not go well?
• If you had to do the project again, what would you do differently?
• Grow Personally. It helps you to see yourself more clearly. How am I leading?
• What can I do to improve my relationships?

You are encouraged to have a weekly entry to reflect on the conference project: For example, Week 1, Week 2... etc.

Our suggested approach falls into 2 main directions:

1. You are encouraged to have a weekly entry to reflect on the course content and the systems you have been thinking about. In the past one memorable entry read as follows (in summary):

• Weeks 1 and 2 - I am confused I am not sure what this course is about.

• Week 3 - I think I am starting to get what it is about... I have been thinking about examples of projects that I have been part of throughout the years; events; initiatives; study projects; etc.
• Week 4 and 5 - I think I know what I need to do to make resolve some of the issues I faced in the past; poor time management; lack of scope; should consider trade off analysis...etc.
• Remember to use the taught models, theoretical concepts when discussing the above.
2. You can also refer to the group project as follows:
• What am I learning?
• What are the greatest risks?
• If I had to do this part of the project again, what would I do differently?
• What can I do to improve my communication?
• What did I enjoy most about this project?

Overall, your reflective learning diary should be a between 2000 and 2500 maximum number of words. You may include diagrams and sketches as you wish. Effectively this this is your scrap book of learning.
