~Reflections on the IT Project Management Class.~

~IT Project Management or course code for this subject is INFO 3501 required taken by minor student of IRKHS. Like me, I have to register this subject for completing my minor degree of ICT. For the 1st time, I assumed that this class will be pressure because of the term of the ‘management’. I took this class at every Monday and Wednesday evening. Due to the time, of course this class will boring and feels sleepy. However, I must attend the class and I also want to know what will be discussing in class lessons. On 13th July 2009 is my 1st class for IT Project Management. I come early due to the class located far from my college. I can’t wait to know who will become my instructor for this class. ~

~Madam Masita is my instructor. Actually, she is a staff at Information Technology Department at IIUM. She is very kind hearted person I think for the 1st time I meet her. The 1st class, we just introduce ourselves to madam. She also brings in what the meaning of IT Project Management as well. At the beginning I assumed that this subject very difficult to score because the book that we asked to by is very thick and many terms that we must know. Madam Masita gives an advice “before come to the class we must take a few minutes to skimming the lessons”. ~

~Two month later, I’m very exciting come the class regarding to the topic or chapter will becoming interesting and challenging. An additional, madam Masita will make some games or quizzes to make the class happening and not feels sleepy. I like to involve because it will more interesting while increasing my knowledge about Project Management. For example, madam teaches how to manage time properly within a project schedule. It is important to know the network diagram and other tools for good project time management. ~

~There is a group project that we must complete. This project want to see how we handle the project based on what we have learned in class. My group project is E-lelong, as we a project manager and team work must know how to apply all the IT Project Management. For instance, apply which nine knowledge areas which are scope, cost, time, quality, human resources, risk, communication, procurement as well as integration. As well as complete we should to present it at final class. I have the best group project which lead by Mohd Faiz and the other members are Mohd Fadhli, Hadijah and Fadzilah. We give full cooperation to make our project achieved the successful. I assumed that, this subject is very important to know because it will apply when work in organization. ~
