Week 10 (2/5/2013) KEE120049

Things that I have learnt from this week lesson:

    On this lesson, I have learnt about the PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILL which is useful to do our project in this course. The most important thing in the project management is PLANNING. This is because planning will always ensure a successful project if we make a very well-planned project and we follow what we have planned to carry out the whole project. There is 2 types of planning, such as the long term planning and the day to day planning which is also known as operation. 

     Besides planning, we also need a strong ORGANISATION which can carry out the project in order. A well managed organisation will enable the project to be carry out according to the schedule and ensure that the project can be completed successfully. 

    What does a well manage organisation need? Definitely it needs a very successful leader. A wise and smart leader is able to conduct the whole project well without feeling panic even when there is problems encountered. A well organize structure of an organization is also very important since we have to create several department which is in charge in different types of job. We need to consider about their abilities in order to distribute the job accurately. We need to know which field is their major and then only we decide to give him what post. 

     Next, before we want to start a project or business, we need to do some research about the market of the products which we are going to promote. This is to ensure that we will get the biggest profit and to ensure that there is no loss in our project. 

How do I feel about the things that I've learnt from this week's lecture?
The knowledge that I have learnt through this week lesson is very useful to me. This is because it taught me how to ensure my project to be successfully done and completed. It also detailed out all the important criteria which can help to ensure my project do not failed.  How am I going to apply the knowledge that I've gained?
I will apply the knowledge learnt in this week when I want to start a project or business. This is very important as we must ensure whatever we done, we do not want any failure and what we want is only success. In order to success, we need to have project management skill which is very important in handling a project.
