Strategy # | Strategy Description | Aligned Learning Outcome | Aligned Assessment | Suggested Lecture |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Scope change simulation: A mock request is introduced during a project, and students must adjust the project scope accordingly | Apply basic project management techniques | Group project, simulation game | Lecture 3: scope management |
2 | Critical path method exercise: students work in pairs or small groups to calculate the critical path for a given project schedule | Apply basic project management techniques | Group project, simulation game | Lecture 4: time management |
3 | Budgeting workshop: given a project's requirements and constraints, students should draft an initial budget | Apply basic project management techniques | Group project, simulation game | Lecture 5: cost management |
4 | Risk identification activity: students brainstorm potential risks for a given project scenario and categorize them based on impact and likelihood | Evaluate project scenarios using simulation tools | Simulation game | Lecture 13: risk management |
5 | Stakeholder communication role-play: In small groups, students act out different stakeholder roles and practice effective communication techniques to manage expectations and deliverables | Apply basic project management techniques | Group project | Lecture 14: stakeholder management |
