E-tivity 1.1: The Relative Priority of the Knowledge Areas
As you have seen from our coverage of the standards to date, the PMBOK does
not put a priority on the different project management knowledge areas (i.e.
Introduction
cost, time, scope, risk, etc.).
Despite this, understanding the relative priority within a specific organisational
context is likely to enhance project performance.
The purpose of this e-tivity is to identify the top 3 knowledge areas driving
Purpose project management within your organisation and identify what is driving this
relative priority.
To be done by September 7th.
Identify the top 3 knowledge areas driving project management within your
Task organisation and share your refections on what you think is driving this relative
priority (e.g. it might be organisational or industry imperatives).
Post your contribution to the 2nd column of the Wiki.
To be done 1-2 days after the above date. Choose a contribution posted by a
peer that you find interesting and respond to it in the 3rd column.

E-tivity 1.2: Critical Review of the BOKs
We have reviewed the two most prevalent project management
Bodies of Knowledge (BOKs) at a high level at this point in the
module.
Introduction As you will have seen from your review of the articles presented for
this e-tivity, whilst the BOKs have played a key role in developing the
discipline of project management, critics of the prescriptive approach
often advocated by the professional bodies suggest 'best practice'
and linear models have no place in today's complex environment.
The purpose of this e-tivity is to explore both the value and the
Purpose
limitations of the Bodies of Knowledge in the project domain.
Task Reflecting on the BOKs, post an argument either in favour of or
against their value to the discussion forum.
To be done no more than 2 days after the above date. Choose a
Respond contribution posted by a peer that considers a different value or
limitation, and respond to it.

E-tivity 4.2 "Capability Maturity - The Silver Bullet"
Introduction There is a central assumption underlying concepts of project and organisational maturity that a
single trajectory towards the utopia of level 5 is something all organisations should aspire to,
and that this is the silver bullet that will enhance organisational performance.

Purpose The purpose of this e-tivity is for you each to reflect on what might be an appropriate maturity
level for your organisation.

Task To be done by October 2nd.
In light of your recent reading, consider what you deem to be an appropriate level of maturity
for your organisation and post this to the Wiki. Include in your posting a brief rationale as to why
you have chosen this level.

Respond To be done 2 days after the above date. Comment on a posting that either has indicated an
appropriate level significantly lower or higher than yours and respond to it, or the same level but
based on an entirely different rationale.
