Thought I'd have a bit of fun with Google Drawings by essentially redrawing the Project Boundaries figure from the PMBOK® Guide. It's a way to practice other diagrams, Gantt charts, and other visual consumables that will be created for the 5KPM project.
Because the Closter 5k is part of a larger weekend of events, it quite often happens that we are asked to help out in areas separate from the 5k event. That's fine. We get great support and return that support. But our event can largely be categorized as a "projectized organization."
Still, it is interesting and useful to see the very real boundaries for this project, and how the scope must be defined clearly. As much as this was just a simple, but important exercise, and a guide of what's to come, it's instructive to see that we do have inputs from a real sponsor who gives us real responsibility and authority to conduct this event. That trust is repaid in the work that we do through planning, monitoring, controlling, and executing of the necessary steps. Finally, we provide a very real project deliverable in the form of the event for hundreds of participants, and keep the records of the event for use in future 5k events.
As always, your feedback is appreciated, so please share your thoughts about the 5KPM so far:
