The MGMT 645 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Pick one event and stay with it

    Reflection writing works when it is specific. Pick one situation, one decision point, and stay with it for the whole paper.

  2. Describe it briefly and accurately

    Tell what happened in a few sentences. Remove names and identifying details; the reader needs the situation, not the people.

  3. Analyze it with course concepts

    Explain the event through the course material. A reflection that never names a concept from the reading is a diary entry, not an assignment.

  4. Bring in the evidence the guide asks for

    Meet the source rule (Your project records, the PMBOK Guide and Rose). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.

  5. Say what you would do differently

    End with a specific change in practice that follows from the analysis. Graders look for growth that is tied to the evidence you cited.

  6. Write in first person, formatted in APA

    Reflection papers allow first person, but they still follow current APA format for the title page, citations and references. Stay within Not set in the guide; follow the assignment instructions.

Use a table of criteria, targets and actual results, then write lessons learned as specific recommendations for the next project. Note formal acceptance and handover, as the PMBOK's close process requires.

MGMT 645 Week 7, sample results excerpt

The scheduling system went live on June 18, three days late, because volunteer contact data needed cleaning. All 40 volunteers could view shifts, and scheduling errors fell from five a month to one, short of the zero target; the remaining error came from a swap made by phone. Lesson: build a simple swap request form into the system before launch.

  1. Results versus targets.
  2. An honest gap.
  3. A lesson.
