While I understand that in the end it would save the company money to have the risk management team be the same as the project management team, I do not think that this would always be the best course...

My Capstone project also had my team reconsidering if our device would even need an FDA classification. Our product was a microfluidic device that was to be used in laboratory applications to help ste...

I've only worked with Gantt charts in my management classes and Capstone. After working with them for these classes, I really see how useful they are and how much they help tracking a project. The fir...

I think that overall, the person with the most input of the timeline of a project would be the department head. This is not to say, however, that they come up with a timeline themselves and expect the...
