This chapter is merely important for us to understand since our role in group project is Human Resource Department. After we got this department as role in project, we actually gather real information of IIUM Human Resource Department through website and I even go to HR office on my way to settle some work there to see how they flow. What I learn, HR is basically about managing people (as for IIUM, HR concerns on all staff, – academic and non-academic staff). This department is the one who do recruitment, provide training or promotions and even amount of salary allocation to the staff. As the people is the main asset of an organization, managing people in right way also important to guarantee project success.

Educational and career goals

My educational background

I started my early education at my hometown, in islamic tadika and later at primary school both near my house. Apabila saya menginjak umur 13 tahun, due to reason that my parent will be going to Mecca, i started berpisah dgn keluarga dan memulakan my secondary school at Johor (Sekolah Men Ugama At-Tanwiriah), near to my grandmother’s house. After a year, i exchange school in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan (SMU (A)Saniah). After PMR, again, i move to Kota Bharu Kelantan (Maahad Muhammadi Lilbanat- same school with my sister). Then, i further my study here, in IIUM.

Reversing back few years ago, I always wanted to further my study to Timur tengah countries. My interest grow since I’m 14 years old where many of my seniors with good examination result manage to get in the universities there. But, as time moves, the students are no longer be given chance to easily get there due to the many speculation occur in our country. Even i got a good result in SMU, every single of my dreams slowly faded.

Since i have a childhood dream of living in Mesir and have my life at Kelantan, it’s obvious why i chose IIUM. I love living in a good environment where we will feel safe in there, less bad people, more wise people which will lead us to be as wise as them. I have travel to many places and I learn that

Time never seems to be enough, but it always be wasted. I always inspire Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his wise and attitude toward seeking knowledge. He manage to finish thousand books in a month even when he was a prime minister once as we all know.

IT Project Management Tips

In matriculation (MCIIUM), I get myself involve in many leadership program since I see it bring some good of bringing up my self-esteem and create experience of being in some programs. After some experience in school, I started in a leadership training as Secretary and later Catering sub-committee in Taaruf week. Later in main campus, I started to join facilitating program under Wawasan Club and currently I am the Secretary of Mahallah Hafsah Representative Committee (MRC) for current tenure 2008-2009. As I join and involve in managing projects and program, many experience regarding managing a project I have gone through.

For IT projects, since I’m KICT students, a lot of IT projects have been done throughout each semesters such as the fancy Building Learning Base Flash for Kindergarten Children and Online Shopping Website to more advance such as Ibn Jaafar Filing System, Set Up Sguil in Linux Ubuntu and so on. All have been successfully done and basically in a group whereas all of the member will be assign a role.

Each of the tips below are all base on what I have learn in class combining altogether with what I had experience and learn as in practical in both project types. We will go through each chapters in Schwalbe book entitled Information Technology Project Management (5th ed.)

Chapter 1: Introduction Project Management

This chapter basically introduce us to basic terms essentials in project management. Project, is something (product, service or result) which must have our own clearly defined purpose, undertaken by identified group of people, in a duration of time and require resources.

One of the important point in this chapter is about the triple constraints which are; Time, Scope and Goal. If any of these constraints change, at least one is affected and need to be change as well. It’s proven in example of my situation therefore let me share you some experience of mine. I currently managing a program for Mahallah which involving 36 foreign students to a home-stay at Terengganu. We acquire some amount of money in running the program, since the budget exceed the amount that a principal can approve, we have to seek for approval from the Director of STAD or Deputy Rector (part of procedure in the university). What happen was our proposal has been rejected at first due to our cost allocation which need to be increased. Since one of the constraints been changed (Cost), we have to re scratch budget allocation and resend back the application letter and it cause the date of the program is a little bit delayed.

Some tips I would like to suggest, always be prepared. Unwanted and unexpected situation may come to you, so always have a Plan B or backup plans so you are clear of what you want to do and even the constraints have occur to be change, you can manage it well.

Man plans, and it’s God who decides.

One other thing we must to take note from this chapter is the project management framework which consists of nine knowledge areas which we’ll gone each one by one on later chapters. All nine knowledge areas are including integration management, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and procurement.

Chapter 2: The Project Management and Information Technology Context

In this chapter, we are introduced of the organization, it concept in broad, and also, we are guided to perform organizational chart which have 3 types (Functional, Project and Matrix). As we go through the chapter, we form the organizational structure in practical for our group project.

Firstly, our group got the title of project to do Human Resource Department IT project and as the result from discussion and brainstorming, we decided to do enhancement of performance evaluation of the academic staff in IIUM which evaluate quality of a lecturer.

In determining position in project chart, we randomly pick amongst ourselves to hold certain position base on basic strength and weakness of ourselves. For example, we agree to choose Abi Dzar as the project manager since he has the clear picture of proposed project, and we hope, he will lead us to produce good outcome. Me myself has been positioned as

Still in my mind,

Important tips in this chapter, even all the members are well verse in his/her capability and knowledge, we must identify the character of each person as well as their s
