Lean Project Management

1.    Discuss Principle 3: Chartering. Discuss 3 types of problems in projects that can be avoided / prevented with a good charter. Give specific examples if possible.

2.    Choose one type of buffer used in Lean Project Management and discuss* in detail.

3.    Discuss a second type of buffer used in Lean Project Management.

“Discuss” in the context of this exam means I want you to tell me what is going on inside your head, not merely re-phrase the text or other source.  I am not looking for you to copy what is in the text, but show me that you are thinking deeply on the topic.  Analyze or synthesize.  Refer to the model essay and to the guidelines for essay exams.

I encourage the inclusion of outside supporting material.

Please do not give me fluff.  This is a take-home, open-book, graduate-level exam so take some time and make it significant.
