Can you imagine ordering a truckload of 2×4 wood studs and a few buckets of nails, having it all delivered to an empty lot, and asking a framing crew to build you a house? How would they know where to start and what you want? Of course, the framing crew would ask you for the blueprint, which is the plan for the house. For any project, whether building a house or creating an IT system, a plan is needed to understand what the project will accomplish.
Assessment Select a topic for your IT project. Summarize the planning activities you would do for this project if it were initiated in your current organization or a past organization you worked in. Explain how the scope of the project would be planned using predictive project planning and how it would be planned using agile or hybrid project planning. Begin the paper with a numbered list of the project management process groups and a one-sentence description of each.
