☐ Upon successful completion of this assignment, students should be able to:
recognize the continuous process improvements model (CPIM) for managing projects,
construct the process quality matrix (PQM) and zone mapping,

Brief Description
■Today’s fast-paced, high-change project environments, coupled with organizations where formal project management may not be its strong suit, are often short on the necessary upfront planning.
1.
Search relevant project management news in the media on a distressed project in Canada or any location in North America and provide practical ideas and strategies for the prevention, behaviour detection, analysis, recovery, and control of the distressed projects, focusing on where the project is in relation to its original goals/targets, and realigning the project objectives.
2 Describe the continuous process improvements model as a way to improve the quality of project products, and to sustain a competitive position in fast-paced information-age industries.
