Benchmark – Final Project Management Plan and Project Retrospective


 The purpose of this assignment is to create a final project management plan and retrospective based upon the IT project management activities students have been developing throughout the course.

Using the feedback you received from your peers and instructor on the assignments in Topics 3-7, make revisions and finalize your project management plan. The final, revised versions of all plan components created in the Topics 3-7 should be included. In addition, include a 250-500 word project retrospective that addresses the following:

  1. Discuss what you learned from completion of the group and individual IT project management activities.
  2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the project management strategies you employed by discussing what you think worked well in the project plan and what you would do differently if you were assigned a similar project. Provide specific examples related to process, tools, and team dynamics to illustrate your ideas.

Submit the final project management plan and retrospective to the instructor.
