:AACE CERTIFICATION 2009-2010:

Resource or tool is important to speed up project process. This related to resource management which is sound like not too important but it is the most important aspect in project management. My working loads is so up high in the sky level therefore it is so important for me to have reliable resource that I know that these resources will help me a lot. Lesson learnt for me this week is, I should have a resource matrix same like stakeholder matrix. The classification maybe I will find in master format if they have it, but if it is not there, I might classify it on my own priority.

Story was based on my experience when my stakeholder asked me to print my draw for entire site projects, after I revise and update for only 30 minutes, the next step is to print it using plotter for A1 size. But I cannot manage to print it, it always shows error message from its plotter lamp sign not in my printer indicator from my computer desktop. I try and I try so many times, ups and downs back and forth, try to fix the cartridges, align the paper, but always indicate something wrong. I took me almost 6 hours to assure that the machine is broken. And I am also found out that the plotter is more than 10 years age. I am relying on the machine that has 10 years of age, while I have lost my valuable 6 hours that I could spent on other work. \*@*/

Early thing I do in the next day, I try to get second opinion from my IT colleague, and it took him only less than 45 minutes to decide the machine is broken. "What?!?" inside me saying this, is he a quitter? No struggling for the challenge in from of him? I ask nicely why did he decide that, he only said that we need to call the manufacture technician on this, because we have do all the process that this machine how to work. Well some time we have to let the professional do the work. This is another lesson learnt for me, I cannot pleased everybody, sometime let the truth reveal.

Another thing happen this week related to AACE class is I have add another resources in my team but the resource that I got is the "Fat boy" which nobody wants. Even the HR was asking me to be patient dealing with this person. "What?" As I recall there is not baby sitting in my job description. Well, but long story short, I have to deal with it. And use it as a external back up for any emergency happen and need additional resource as a mitigation plan.

AACE Class
I have not get any topic for my paper, this is really frustrated me so much. Feeling like wants to achieve all but that just life, we just have to be more calm and reflect more deeply. Maybe that is I have to do right now, sit back and bit more calm and think more general. This is hard for me, as I am always think detail.

I have open a linked in profile to get a good topic, but still did not have one. People says that sometime the thing you need to find is surround you, therefore I am planning to look more deep which topic is suitable for me. I have the data and information for the project construction from previous and up running ones, still I do not know what is suit to be raise as a topic.

This activity really as my super duper priority list as I have rejected several project worth $1000 for 10 weeks work. I am not complaining just sharing my days and weeks and bright future weeks after I get more deeper to Project Management using Earn Value.

Additional Work for week#4 and #5
P3M3 assessment that I have to do my self, I hope that this assessment is objective enough due to there is no one I could ask for. So what it is shows for the result might not reflect firmly and would be debatable with other in my organization related to dependable to another departement. As I am only 2 years in this organization.
