Friday activity

Hi Maroonies!
You did a fantastic job of SWOT-ing.  Reflection and analysis is a major component of successful project management.  However, the work is not done.  It is easy to make an excuse for the Threats outside of our control and the weaknesses we need to overcome.  But is that it?  Can we continue to make excuses for our problems and do nothing to fix that?  Part of developing as a professional is to figure out solutions to problems both within and out of our control.

The task

• Make a list of weaknesses and a list of threats from your SWOT analysis
• Rank the list in order of biggest risk to the least.
• For each item on the list I want you to come up with a possible solution- this should be well thought out and demonstrate that you have considered the issue and considered how to overcome the issue.  
• Now pick two of them and write a plan of management to deal with the issue.  What will you do to prevent the issue?  What can you do to prepare for it?  Can you prepare?  If the issues strikes, what can you do to alleviate the severity of the issue?  Add more information, just because I only wrote four questions does not mean you answer only these four questions.  Actually think about this activity.  Do something with it.
• Prepare a small presentation to share with the class concerning your plan to overcome issues.

Be good!
