At-Risk Status
Beyond the scores, these are the core lessons our class extracted from their lived experiences.
The class identified that **90% of project failures** were due to "assumed understanding" rather than a lack of effort.
Cohort Insight:
"Ambiguity is the enemy of execution. In environments like lifeguarding or aviation maintenance, unclarified expectations don't just cost money—they cost lives."
Students distinguished between **"Listening to Speak"** vs. **"Listening to Understand."** Several noted the high financial cost of ego-driven overtalking.
Cohort Insight:
"Whether it's a notary ensuring a client isn't being pressured or a manager missing a $100k substation requirement, 'Listening First' is a protective technical skill."
A recurring theme was the **"Micromanagement Trap."** Students highlighted how surveillance (CCTV/3-meetings-a-day) destroys morale and creates turnover.
Cohort Insight:
"When a leader trust-but-verifies (like the NavyCCAT flooring crew), teams take ownership. When they monitor minutes, teams just comply."
Over-limit penalties were removed to support the transition to professional brevity requirements.
Starting in **Week 03**, word counts are no longer "targets"—they are **Scoping Boundaries**. Points will be deducted for going over the limit.
Impact of "Over-Verbosity"
In PM, excessive detail can be as damaging to a budget as a lack of detail. Brevity is a technical skill.
Standard Deduction
-2 points for exceeding post limits or -1 point for exceeding reply limits.
