In my opinion, projects fail due to a combination of varying reasons such as those mentioned in the forum question. Nonetheless, I believe a major contributing factor to project failure is inadequate ...

In the case of this mini-Sim, I believe it is not worth it to increase the project risk by decreasing the duration time of the animal studies. Since this is a medical product that will be used to trea...

In my opinion, scope creep can be prevented by taking the time and initiative to form a well-defined and researched scope with increased input from project members during the initiation of the project...

A project I was involved in while working in a lab on campus was divided into three separate categories to construct a work breakdown structure. The goal of this project was to develop a wireless moti...

An example of this was something that I encountered while working on my capstone project. Our project consisted of the use of two force-sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors to provide inputs to scroll thr...

In my opinion, the most efficient strategy to deal with failures in such scenarios is to brainstorm potential causes. With a list of potential causes compiled, the members of the team can then assess ...

The creation of a work breakdown structure (WBS) is a crucial step to list out and determine the tasks required to complete specific categories related to a project. Therefore, in contrast to prior po...

In terms of effectively estimating the duration time of tasks, I believe many factors should be considered to ensure an efficient usage of time. One factor would be to reference similar tasks in prior...
