Reflections :

We racked our brains for this tutorial. We had to come up with project objectives, scope, responsibility matrix, estimated costs, budgets etc. This is real tough and we had to "dig" for information from our own companies. We do a lot of research from internet on other companies warehouse sale to get ourselves familiar on the background of annual warehouse project.

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Deciding on a project topic to select wasn't a simple thing. We have come across out with so many ideas such as organizing a dinner & dance event, setting up a new warehouse, implementing a new MRP system, charity event, and etc. At the end of discussion, we all have decided to choose "annual warehouse sale" as our project management topic.

We are all very excited to get started on this project as it is something that is new to all of us.

Hopefully we can use them in our own projects at work !
