1. The spread of Greek culture is referred to as Hellenization. The spread of Roman culture is known simply as Romanization. What was the opinion of non-Greeks and non-Romans who found themselves exposed to these influential cultures? Were the processes viewed positively or negatively in their own historical contexts? Was one process more successful than the other? Why or why not?

2. The textbook suggests that the Romans were proud of the fact that their origin stories centered on tales of violence and honor. It outlines, for example, the myths of Romulus and Remus and of the rape and suicide of Lucretia. Why would such seemingly negative stories be points of pride for the Romans? How did these origins and the pride the Romans took in them impact Roman society? Was the impact positive or negative? Why?

3. One popular theme for historical discussions of ancient Rome is its decline. Historians have not reached a consensus on a specific date to mark this downfall. Based on what you’ve learned, what specific date would you choose? Why?

4. In 285 AD, Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into two halves. Ultimately, one continued to be called the Roman Empire, while the other (in the East) came to be known as the Byzantine Empire. Did this decision help or hurt the Roman Empire as a whole? Had the division not been enacted, do you think the Roman Empire would have “fallen” sooner or later than it did? Why?

Assignment Objectives:

Analyze various organizational systems and determine how to integrate project management processes into various existing corporate structures.

Evaluate and summarize the project life cycle phases, ten knowledge management areas, and the five project management process groups and their components based on the contents of the PMBOK® Guide.

Assignment Details:

After completing your stakeholder analysis and developing your stakeholder register, you started working on your next project, which will be to develop a project charter. You started to gather information from various stakeholders via interviews and e-mails. The latest e-mail you sent caused quite a response. Several meetings were centered on the project charter, statement of work (SOW), work breakdown structure (WBS), and enterprise environmental factors and organizational process assets that you will use to complete the second and most important deliverable at this stage, the project charter. Jim comes to your desk one afternoon for further discussion.

“Our team meetings on the SOW, project charter, WBS, and environmental factors and organizational process assets have been very productive,” says Jim. “Thanks for getting this project charter moving in the right direction.”

“Anytime,” you say.

“So, based on our last team meeting, do you think we are ready to write a concise SOW and the project charter?” asks Jim.

“I think we have enough information to assess risks, assumptions, define scope inclusions and exclusions, objectives, business need, milestones, high-level budget breakdown, acceptance criteria, and constraints,” you say.

“Have you ever prepared a WBS before?” asks Jim<.>

“I have,” you say. “Prior to working at ACH, I was an associate project manager for an engineering firm on the West Cost.”

“Oh, that’s great!” says Jim, handing you a document, saying, “Here is a simple template that combines all three deliverables: the SOW, the project charter, and the WBS. Do you think you can update the project charter for me with all of the required information?”

“Sure,” you say, looking at the document. “You know, in my previous job, we developed three separate documents for these three deliverables.”

Jim smiles and says, “Oh, believe me I know that, but as you know we’re a small organization and have developed our own ways of managing project records within the overall project management PMBOK^® Guideframework. Remember, the PMBOK^® Guideframework is a tool kit and we’ve taken from it what works well for us here.”
