Hello All! I am currently an MS candidate at Drexel University for Project Management. For my discussion this week, I was asked to "contact a seasoned project manager and ask her/him what percent of the project effort should be devoted to project planning and why planning is so important."
I'd love to hear what you all think!
Thanks! Saving Changes...
