Personal Reflection on Project Scheduling
I have learned quit a bit about myself through this class in general and in my efforts to redevelop
the museum expansion project schedule. I’ve learned that projects aren’t as simple as moving a
couple things around, yet they are very intricate in how they are made just like a puzzle piece.
Each piece is just as important as the other filled with detail and precision. I feel the areas of
project schedule management I excel at is understanding different types of possible solutions to
projects. I am very openminded to new ideas and new ways of understanding. So, allowing
techniques like schedule compressions as well as resource allocating gives me a strong
understanding on how to schedule projects efficiently. I think the biggest growth in knowledge
and skills that I’ve acquired over the last seven weeks would include how to affectively create
structures and diagrams for scheduling projects. I personally was a beginner when it came to
visual templates for scheduling projects. I learned a lot from all the learning materials that were
provided in each module, especially the videos in each learning section. I do still feel I have so
much to learn though. I can especially expand my knowledge on how to create better
documentation for scheduling projects in both word and excel spreadsheets. I feel it takes me
longer than most to create diagrams, so I am looking forward to being able to hone in on those
skills and improve upon them.
I have already started my course of action to be able to ensure that I gain additional experience
in project scheduling. I have guaranteed an internship position with a company called Analysis
Prime this summer. I hope to learn the ins and outs of project management while working
alongside there project manager. There project manager has had amazing experience with not
only financial projects but construction and healthcare projects. I hope to be able to implement
all the tools and techniques I’ve learned throughout this course while acquiring new concepts
throughout my learning experience as an intern.
As I start this internship, I have come across feelings of nervousness considering I have never
worked on a real project. I have only worked on scenario-based projects where if I were to not
create a successful project, I would have no real consequence. Whereas working on real
projects could provide more of a realistic idea of my future, which can be quite nerve-wracking.
Even though I feel very capable of doing a good job to ensure the success of any project, I don’t
want to let anyone down. Especially my project manager mentor.
Overall, I am very thankful for this course which has provided me with so many amazing
concepts. I have learned what I am capable of and what more I can learn. It has given me the
strength to apply for internships and successfully get a position with an amazing company. I
can’t wait to implement these concepts into my future career as a project manager.
