Task

PMP Critique

Background

A critique or critical analysis is a review or appraisal based on careful analytical evaluation. Writing a critical analysis requires you to read the selected text in detail and to also read other related texts so that you can present a fair and reasonable evaluation of the selected text.

In this assignment, you are required to undertake a critical analysis of a Project Management Plan (PMP) which is the core of PMBOK. Critical thinking is an important component of being a professional. Without thinking critically you are only looking at the surface of things. To be a successful project manager you need to sort out what's accurate and what's not, and you need to identify a solid, factual base for solving problems and addressing issues on your project. An electronic copy of a PMP for you to evaluate and critique is available through this link:

The purpose of this PMP critique is to prepare your for developing your own PMP. After this PMP critique, you should know what a good PMP is like and how to write a good PMP for your assignment 3. When doing the critique, focus on the following major points or findings:

1. The structure and components of the PMP. They can usually be found at the table of content

2. The content of the PMP. How and why the particular information is used

3. Presentation. How each content or section is presented, especially the conciseness, format, and style

4. Tools. The common techniques and tools used in the PMP presentation

5. Effectiveness. The most effective or the best techniques and tools for each components
