Even as the discipline continues to evolve, it can claim a proven track record. Millions of projets around the globe routinely rely on the concepts found in this and other project management books.

ProjectManagement-HomeworkAssignment

The project I would like to do is helping USA students, retirnees and the people interested in doing business with Chinese, in China to learn Chinese by going to China and immerse themselves in Chinese culture. As the whole world can see, China is the most dynamic country on not only economy, but all the other fields. Learning Chinese and understanding their culture will become trend. I named my company Ear3 Inc, and I certainly will be the project manager. Obviously, I will be the only one working for this company at present. But I do have so many sources to use, and I definitely need outside help to finish the processing. Cost, schedule and quality are the three primary variables of a project. My focus is delivering high quality on time and under budget. My goals are building up website within a short time, having contract with one picked Chinese University, and marketing my website.
Planning is very important step, and it usually puts together the details of how to meet my project's goals, given the constrains. Common estimating and scheduling techniques will help me lay out who will help me do the work, when it will be accomplished, and how much it will cost.
