Task 4 (cont.)

4() In the development of any project one of

the most important things that we must

do is to accomplish the scope of the

project.

We have a professional responsibility to

make sure that each of the agreed upon

stakeholders needs is met by the

completion of the project.

We must also take the responsibility of

making the stakeholder aware that there

may be better and less expensive ways of

solving the same problem than the way

that the stakeholder has suggested. It is an important responsibility of the

project manager and the project team to

consider all reasonable alternatives as

possible solutions to project problems or

as possible ways of achieving project

goals.

problems, but if you take the time to learn

how to say good morning, please, and

thank you, you will go far in developing

good relations.

The technique of speaking louder tosomeone who does not speak English is

not going to improve understanding.
