Know All About Project Management Knowledge Areas
Legendary American football coach Vince Lombardi once said, ‘Leaders aren’t born, they are made.’ And the saying couldn’t be truer. Project Managers are essentially leaders who lead a team and provide the necessary resources to accomplish a goal. Well, leading a team has never been an easy task, be it a kindergarten soccer team or a team of top scientists working on a space project. Thanks to the origin of project management concepts and studies in the previous century, now we have access to so many resources on all aspects of project management.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

9. The outcomes of these projects were the result of leaders
and managers applying project management practices,
principles, processes, tools and techniques to their work.
Also the managers of these projects used a set of key skills
and applied knowledge to satisfy their customers and other
people involved in and affected by the project.
ADVANCED TOPICS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PROF.G.K.VIJU] 9
10. General Project Management Theory and Skills
Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK)
While terminology may vary, Project Management are consistent.
A Project Manager needs more than one tools to succeed in delivering
Quality Projects “On Time” and “Within Budget”.
Project Managers with the Knowledge and Skills to lead a team towards a

the team.
ADVANCED TOPICS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PROF.G.K.VIJU] 10
11. Where did PMBOK Came From ?
By the mid-20th century, project managers began the work of
seeking recognition for project management as a Profession.
One aspect of this work involved obtaining agreement on the
content of the Project Management Body of Knowledge [PMBOK]
ADVANCED TOPICS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PROF.G.K.VIJU] 11
12. Project managers soon realized that no single book could contain
the entire PMBOK. Therefore, Project Management Institute (PMI)
developed and published A Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).

Project Management is about acquiring or achieving the project goal.
Most projects need to be broken down into a logical sequence of
“PHASES”, known as “The Project Life Cycle”.
ADVANCED TOPICS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PROF.G.K.VIJU] 18
19. Phases of a Project
Organizations normally break a project down into several project
phases for better management control.
Collectively, the project phases are known as the PROJECT LIFE
CYCLE.
Each project phase is marked by the completion of one or more
DELIVERABLES.
ADVANCED TOPICS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PROF.G.K.VIJU] 19
20. Stage Gates
Each phase ends with a review of the deliverables and performance in
order to detect and correct errors and to decide if the project should
continue into next phase.
The phase end reviews are often called PHASE EXISTS or STAGE GATES

25. Project Life Cycle [PLC] as a Tool
PLC is a management tool to make it easier to manage the project
sequence.
The choice of phases vary from industry to industry and the PLC will
vary to suit the needs of the participants.
Different project managers choose different PLC’s depending on the
nature of the task (i.e. Engineering, Software Development etc.)

26. Project Life Cycle Uses
To maintain an overview of the project
To help identify tasks
Break the project into manageable parts
Integrate activities
To help with the timing of decisions (go/no go)
To guide the level of contingency* needed

*A future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty
27. Common Characteristics of PLCs
Cost and staff levels low in early phases of the project.
Probability of failure, risk and uncertainty are highest in the early phases.
Ability of stakeholders to influence the outcome of the project are highest
at the beginning of the project.
Although many projects have similar phase names, with similar work
requirements, few are identical
Sub-projects within the project also have distinct project life cycle.

28. Project Stakeholders
Project Stakeholders are individuals and/or organizations who are actively
involved in the project and whose interests are directly affected by the
outcome of the project.
Key Stakeholders:-
The project advocate or champion (promotes the idea)
The project sponsor (for funding)
The project manager (for the execution)
Customer or Client (the user)
The performing organization (the team)
Other categories of stakeholders can be identified such as internal and external clients, team
members & families, suppliers, contractors, Government etc.

29. The Project Management Dilemma
Managing Stakeholders expectations can be difficult because of the
different objectives of the various groups of stakeholders.
