    497bea71-b1e8-4118-92e2-e2c68d598c62-image.png HI! My name is Ken and I'm joining from Kokopo on the Island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea where I work for a faith based organisation as a volunteer project administrator/manager. I'm looking forward to gaining insight on social impact projects so I can help my organisation become an effective agent for community development. I am looking forward to being part of a learning team so that I can learn from interaction with others and also be able to assist with my experience in the civil and building construction fields where I started off as a accounts and administration person. I'm also completing a Public Poly Management Degree programme in the coming year and hope to improve myself so I can offer value to the teams I work with for real impact in quality of life.

    Welcome to the forum.we will learn a lot by working together.

    1. My name is Edward R. A. Smith and I'm joining from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa.
    2. Currently, I'm collaborating with two of my colleagues to setup a consultancy firm that will provide services in Accounting, project and supply Chain management, and tax service as well as advisory services on government relations.
    3. The goal is to develop new skills and apply same to enhance my ability to provide tangible (up-to-date) contribution to my organisation and make more informed decisions that will help improved client performance and society as a whole.
    4. Certainly, it's my interest in joining a team as I'm convinced that i'll learn from the experiences that would be shared.
    5. Yes i do have some practical experiences. I served as the Deputy Head of the Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (Liberia's EITI project).
      As Deputy, I worked with the head of Secretariat to plan and design the LEITI Secretariat's work program (costed Workplan) and implement same. I learned that sometimes, it's important to review the project plan and make adjustment when financial, capacity, and other conditions are not aligned with the project time line due to internal or external factors instead of insisting on the original plan just to meet deadline or deliver a project that does not reflect ethical standards. Also, the integrity, transparency , and accountability are values that help ensure a project is successful and closed effectively. Project managers should be cognisant that a project is a representation of the (1) the manager and (2) the organisation.

      A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.

    And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. So a project team often includes people who don’t usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies.

    The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects.

    And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need.

    Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.

    It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid-20th century. PMI’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) identifies its recurring elements:

    Project management processes fall into five groups:
    Initiating
    Planning
    Executing
    Monitoring and Controlling
    Closing

    Project management knowledge draws on ten areas:

    1. Integration
    2. Scope
    3. Time
    4. Cost
    5. Quality
    6. Procurement
      Human resources
      Communications
      Risk management
      Stakeholder management

    Im not gonna say that I have a vast experience in Project Management but I can only share with you my little experience with some of the projects I worked with during my time as IT worker within several organizations. I would like to talk a few about ups and downs and why the project manager is always the blamer. My experience some of the things that always gives me headache is the Proposal and Project Plan with its Work Breakdown Structure(WBS), milestones and Gantt chart, because these is where you need to follow and updated throughout the project. When you cant reach the timeframe, you have to make sure your Boss is updated, and be sure that everything will affect when the timeframe is off.

    My name is Deidre and I am joining you all from Guyana, South America. I am currently the Prevention Programs and Education Officer at the Ministry of Social Protection (Social Services Industry). My main objective for joining this program is to diversify my skills and gain a better understanding of Project Management. I have realized that even as an Education Officer I can and use techniques linked to Project Management, and it is this skill I intend to improve for everyday use. As its my first time here, I am unsure as if to join or not join a team; suggestions are welcome. Unfortunately, I have no Technical or Trained experience in Project Management, but I eagerly await the new skills I will gain from this course.

    Thank you.

    Hi my name is Teshia Jn Baptiste and I am joining from Saint Lucia a small island developing state in the Caribbean.
    I currently work as a Project Manager for the Government of Saint Lucia in the Department of Sustainable Development.
    I would be happy to join a team if will help me stay on course and complete all objectives. Also I believe being part of a team will certainly help increase my understanding and lessons learnt from persons from other countries .
    I have been working on environmental related projects since 2012. It has been a very interesting and demanding especially since you have to deal with a larger number of stakeholders and the deliverables require continuous stakeholder consultations and it is governed by a Project Steering Committee. Having to manage and at the same time be directed by a committee can sometimes slow down the project's implementation timeline when you need certain approvals to move ahead at all stages. These usually occur especially with Government run projects.

    Hi everyone. I'm Geva from the Philippines. I'm currently a Project Manager for an SME focused on doing e-learning materials for a wide variety of clients. By the end of this course, I want to be able to do better in the job given to me. As I was previously a Production Coordinator, I believe I need more training regarding the fundamentals of my current position, to maximize it. Sure, I would be glad to be part of a team. I do have an experience with Project Management but I don't consider myself an expert in this field yet, as I'm only working for a year in this said position. Currently, I am handling a small team of less than 10 employees. In the future, I want to be able to handle more, and I want to be ready when that time comes.

    Thank you!
