Week 4

Part 1 Educational Goals. My main educational goal is to achieve my bachelor's degree in computer science in 2 years. Another educational goal of mine is to do well in my upper division classes so I can be prepared for a career in software development. I would also like to strengthen my collaboration skills through the use of group projects.  Part 2 Career Goals. One of my main career goals is to become a professional software developer after graduation. I hope to leverage my current internship as an Android developer to find a new internship next summer, so I can explore different fields in software development. Part 3 Guess ETS percentile.

Log        Part 3 Project Management basics.      Companies have experts that focus on project management. A board of directors will decide on a project to be completed while a project manager essentially acts as CEO over that project. The work breakdown structure is a fundamental tool of project management. It is common to break down projects into its own products/deliverables. To create a work breakdown structure, you create a hierarchical decomposition of all the deliverables. Level 0 is the project. Level 1 is the Keyline (organizing principles). Level 2 is the Major Deliverable. Level 3 is sub-deliverables (helps meet end deliverables). Level 4 and further decompose sub-deliverables. Finally, get feedback before presenting final work breakdown structure. Ea...
