Abstract
School shootings have become all too common in American society, with the casualty rates usually astoundingly high. The College of Security and Intelligence has begun researching ways to delay intruders long enough for first responders to arrive and handle the situation. They are conducting this research by constructing a mock school facility and performing penetration testing on the door frames, locks, and windows with a multitude of weapons. Researchers McGirk and Martinson are using Project Management Methodologies to help manage the College of Security’s enormous project. This method will ensure that the project runs smoothly and stays on budget, on time, and within the constraints of the project. The Project Management Methodology is globally acknowledged as the most efficient way to manage projects, however little research has been conducted focusing on project management in academia. McGirk and Martinson are overseeing the school security project and the means used by Project Manager Reginald Parker to study how effective the Project Management Methodology is when used on individuals who are not familiar with the process.
