Initiating the Project
Reflection and Discussion Forum Week 3
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:
The PMI “Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct”
provides guidelines for ethical behavior by project
management practitioners. It describes four main values that
should guide a project manager’s actions. List these four
values and give one example per value of why it should
guide a project manager’s actions.
Cultural patterns differ in various parts of the world, so
project team members need to be more sensitive as to how
their actions are interpreted. Project managers working with
global and virtual project teams need to be especially
mindful of the increased need for communications. Discuss
some of the extra communications challenges posed by
virtual and global project teams, along with a few
approaches to address these challenges.

2. Imagine you are the project manager of a team tasked with
building a new hotel. When brainstorming project
communication plan considerations, what would you list
under “purposes”?

Instructions: Using your Week 2 Business Case/Elevator Pitch
Exercise complete the following Stakeholder Identification
Exercise. Copy and paste the Business Case/Elevator Pitch from
Week 2 in the space below (ensure it is single spaced, Times
New Roman 12-point font). Fill in each of the quadrants in the
chart below for internal and external stakeholders impacted by
the project progress and the project results. List as many
stakeholders as you can identify but no more than ten (10) per
quadrant.
Be specific with your stakeholder identifications. For example,
if the project were the repurposing of a fast food restaurant to
operate under emergency circumstances (i.e. 2020 Coronavirus
pandemic) then you should not just list “Customers” as
stakeholders. You would need to identify these more
specifically as “Dine-In Customers”, “Drive Through
Customers”, Walk-In Customers” and “Delivery Customers”.

3. Your identified stakeholders need to be specific. For example,
listing City Government is not specific enough. What
department of the city government are you referring too? Is it
several? A construction project could include engineering,
planning and zoning, public works and even mayor/council.
Quality of analysis and critical thought are more important in
this exercise than total number of stakeholders identified. If you
can breakdown an identified stakeholder group into smaller
groups then you have not been specific enough. Do not leave
out obvious stakeholders. If you do not fill in ten stakeholders
for each quadrant and you missed listing obvious stakeholders
then this will count against you. Be thorough and be specific.
