I found this vid very helpful to understand why I am having a hard time with my PM class. I am a software engineer and I was having a problem separating the software development phases with the management phases. Thanks!

Ammar - Thank you for posting. Even though I do this every day, it is always good to refresh or hear someone else's approach! I would not hire a project manager who believes they know it all and aren't constantly looking to improve, validate and share their base of knowledge.

@mikethekhotmailcom Agreed. Thank you. We have to keep learning and to share what we learn.

The point being made to me was that things like planning and control occur throughout a project, just like quality. If quality is treated as a phase - ie the testing team become responsible for quality alone you will not achieve quality - since quality is built in through the entire process. Thus planning and control should also be occuring throughout a project. What he is saying is that you should plan phases of the project based on the problem domain. Quite sensible to me.

Suggestions for improved production: use a lavalier microphone or get very close to the speaker to eliminated poor echoey sound. Then use an external light to properly illuminate the subject and use a good tripod designe for video to eliminate bounces and jerks. Your subject matter deserves good production techniques.
