Using timelines from previous projects can provide the team with a general idea of the duration of a particular task. Some task durations can be accurately accounted for and others not so much. Things...

As the others above have stated, verification tests are designed so that they do fail. Learning from mistakes allows for growth and sometimes, a product may fail in a way you have not anticipated. The...

Overlapping of the work and life environment happen, but I believe that they should try to remain separate or at least with little overlap. When working from home, the boundaries are up to each indivi...

I feel that there is no blanket answer but let's assume the project had a strict deadline with only so much funding. Since this is quite realistic, I believe punishment is necessary. The degree should...

Interesting you mention “Slack” I had just recently heard about it in the lab I am currently working in. Although I still am new to the app, I find that it is very helpful. We mostly use it as a form ...

Incorporating slack into a project allows for some leeway if a part of the project takes longer than expected. Often times the project can still be completed on time. I would consider it to be importa...

They should absolutely not be involved with anything other than financials. The other areas should be left to those professionals. Having the stakeholders more involved in the project leads to too man...

This is a very good method for the purpose of brainstorming and visualizing the tasks. I believe it is much easier to have team members collaborate in person than virtually. Plus, the idea of moveable...

In my opinion, time is more valuable than money because a project that is well thought out is likely to be more successful, and therefore generate higher profits. It is like an investment; you have to...

Knowing everyone’s schedules can make the executing process go smoother when someone is absent. This will allow for slight modification to ensure their tasks are covered. If they have the ability to p...

This is a situation I would not like to find myself in because it shows that my managing skills were not good, to say the least. Terminating the project at 65% completion would be a waste of money, so...

I believe that each of the phases are important, but the planning phase may be slightly more important than the rest. This is because without very good planning, the cycle: plan > do > check >...

As most responses before me, I also prefer a hands-off approach because it relies on trust and lets the team have a sense of responsibility. This style gives more freedom which allows personal express...

First step: Determine and understand why the experiment failed. Second step: Come up with a solution and test it. Repeat as necessary. Method for resolution is all about trial and error using accura...

Since the example @vcf3 has provided relates to biomedical engineering, I would have to say technical skills are more valuable than interpersonal skills. Certainly not the inverse they have proposed, ...
