		<description><![CDATA[In its simplest form, Implementation is generally considered by team members as when the project starts. In a phase-controlled project, project team members are only minimally involved prior to the implementation phase. At this point, the scope should be approved and the project is starting in earnest. Implementation is very often the longest phase in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jessica80304.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4397932&amp;post=94&amp;subd=jessica80304&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In addition to checking for solid requirements using the SMART methodology it is important to properly prioritize or categorize the project requirements. This can become especially critical in the large project or project with seemingly unrealistic expectations. There are many ways to categorize these; personally I like to apply the easily understood labels of must-have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jessica80304.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4397932&amp;post=49&amp;subd=jessica80304&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In an unbelievable number of corporate projects they are completely non-existent and in the vast majority they are really no more than a paragraph or two of high-level requests which are unlikely to be delivered on successfully.

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the triple constraint, the cornerstone of project management and project management (PM) lingo. Along the way, I will try to cover the most common acronyms and lingo that are used in the discipline. I neither intend to promote nor condone any particular use, or in many cases, overuse, of project management lingo. My goal is to create familiarity with the terms as they are commonly used in practice.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jessica80304.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4397932&amp;post=5&amp;subd=jessica80304&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
