JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT

Your Journal Article Review Assignment must be approximately 3-4 double-spaced pages (not including the title and reference pages) and must be created in a Microsoft Word document. Use the following guidelines to create your Journal Article Review Assignment:

1. Provide a title page in current APA format. Divide your summary into sections with the following Level One headings: Summary, Interaction, and Application (review the current APA Manual for guidance on levels of headings if needed).

2. Develop a summary of the main concepts from the article. Do not duplicate the article’s abstract. If the article describes a research study, include brief statements about the hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, and implications. If any test measures or statistical methods used are given in the article, do not provide detailed descriptions of these. Short direct quotations from the article are acceptable, but avoid long quotations in a paper this size. This section is the foundation of your Journal Article Review Assignment (at least a third of your paper). Make sure that you include the core points from the article, even if it means a longer section.

3. In your own words, interact (in approximately 1 page) with the article. Appropriate comments for this part of the Journal Article Review Assignment should include, but are not limited to: your initial response to the article, comments regarding the study’s design or methodology (if any), insights you gained from reading the article, your reasons for being interested in this particular article, any other readings that you may plan to do based upon having read the article, and other thoughts you have that might further enhance the discussion of your article. Your subjective comments in this section must be clearly tied to main points from the article, not peripheral ideas.

4. In your final section (in approximately 1 page) write how you would apply the information you have learned from this article to a particular counseling situation. This could be in a church or clinical session. Develop this section as if you are a clinician, or even a pastor, and your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem—grief, depression, substance abuse, infidelity, etc.—and is needing your help. Adequately describe the counseling scenario, including the presenting problem. Draw out concepts from the article and apply the concepts from this article to the scenario. Show the reader how you are expressly drawing from the journal article in this application section; be sure to cite correctly in current APA format.

Why do you think it is important for a project manager to have both a deep and wide understanding of the core areas of the PMBOK?

Purpose

Whether or not you eventually pursue your Project Management Institute (PMI) certification(s) in the professional project management discipline, the more you understand the individual bodies of knowledge or concentrations, the greater value you can bring to your organization as a project manager or project team member. Many senior executives and CEOs indicate they want and need more holistic thinkers who can gain knowledge of many areas of the corporation outside of their primary concentration area (finance, supply chain, IT, etc.) and then apply it to solve business problems and bring new capabilities to bear. As you study the PMBOK concentrations and the associated techniques or practices, you will have the opportunity to become more holistic thinkers and practitioners.

Instructions

Review the Week 2 Resources area and review the websites – for PMBOK. Consider doing some additional research and investigate the areas within the PMBOK to familiarize yourself with the wide variety of practices and knowledge areas.

Then write a 2 to 3 page paper (approximately 600-900 words) which addresses the following questions related to PMBOK:

Why do you think it is important for a project manager to have both a deep and wide understanding of the core areas of the PMBOK?

Describe how at least three practices in the procurement and cost management areas of the PMBOK have a direct or indirect impact on the project integration, scope, and time executional areas of the PMBOK (e.g., temporary labor contracts would directly affect the project timeline if they limited this important resource group to 10 hours per week.)
