If you are a student and have not yet had the opportunity to be involved with project management, think about other projects you have been involved with in school or the community. Are these same concepts still valid? What about homework problems, projects, or papers you have done in school? Is there a compromise with quality if you put off the project to the point where you are tight on time? Is there even a cost value, maybe not in money but in relationships or personal health, if you put off major assignments to the point that time, rather than quality, is the driving force?
