For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Which 6 activities will generally take place as part of the initiation process?
- Identifying the project needs
- Creation of a feasibility study
- Identifying the business needs
- Creation of a product description
- Creation of a project charter
- Identifying the project stakeholders
What do we mean with identifying project needs?
What do we mean with 'identification of business needs' ?
- Examining of the problem/ opportunity and the solution to see how the potential project and its expected outcome fit within the realm of the business vision and goals.
- We ask the question, 'why is this important'?
- The focus of the business is vision and strategy so the results of the project must support that level.
What is the purpose of a feasibility study?
- to prove a problem actually exists
- document the opportunities at hand
- and then determine whether a project can be created to either resolve the problem at hand or take advantage of the opportunity cited
What is the purpose of the 'creating a product description'?
What is important when the project charter is being signed?
- It should be approved and funded by an individual within the organization who has the proper authority to approve the project manager, the needed fund, and the resources that will be utilized within the project work.
- It is usually signed by the project sponsor, but possible also by the PMO or another project customer.
What should a project charter reflect?
- The initial scope
- The needed resources to complete the project
- Identified assumptions and constraints
What is required to create a project charter by the project management team?
- a contract (if completed for another entity)
- a business case defining the project purpose
- a statement of work identifying the goals
- enterprise environmental factors
- organizational process assets
Which stakeholder deliverables should be created when identifying the project stakeholders?
- The stakeholder registry logging stakeholder's roles, interest, participation and contact information
- A stakeholder management strategy as you want to communicate timely, accurately and effectively with both negative and positive stakeholders (this is directly linked to the project communication strategy)
Why should the process of identifying stakeholders happen at the start of each project phase?
- It's important to check who the stakeholders are, whether new stakeholders have been identified and which stakeholders the project manager needs to communicate with
- If the project manager does not complete this activity there is the risk of stakeholder delays, errors in the project work and frustration among the stakeholders.
