Project Management: Achieving Competitive Advantage

Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Identify what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. Give some examples of projects using each of the risk mitigation strategies (accept, minimize, share, or transfer).  How successful were these strategies?  In hindsight, would another approach have been better?

2. Consider the following observation: “The problem with risk analysis is that it is possible to imagine virtually anything going wrong on a project. Where do you draw the line? In other words, how far do you take risk analysis before it becomes overkill?” How would you respond?

3. Imagine you are developing a software package for your company’s intranet. Give examples of the various types of costs (labor, materials, equipment and facilities, subcontractors, etc.) and how they would apply to your project.

The post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced).

I am asking for myself and for my friend. So I need 2 different answers.
