Most of the benefit is in learning to create the spreadsheet not in actually using it. However, it’s a nice feeling to start the test by documenting things you know instead of starting by answering a question you don’t! Good luck and happy studying.

...Group5? Sprint 1 Garage for tractor. Positive Splitting the user story into tasks and splitting the tasks between people went well and everyone had opportunity to participate. However we never really did it in a more organized way. we had communication with the team building the tractor to decide the size of the garage (however it was not enough and we didn’t notice them changing the size). Negative Went in blind, no clear idea how large anything was supposed to be. No-one had picked the actual tractor by the time we picked the garage. Maybe we should have, as it was higher on the priority. Lead to wrong size of tractor supplied by the other group and a way too large garage in reply. Too high velocity planned, didn’t take fetching parts into the account, which took longer than expected due to all the people. It also took time to organize people and to figure out scale of buildings Sprint 2 Re-done garage and canoes. Positive Lower velocity to 15 from 20 lead to us being able to rebuild the garage (13pts) and add in the small user story for canoes as well (2pts). Also because a member disappeared We did not accept new requirements during the sprint. Might have been more due to being irritated than knowing what we were doing. Communication in the group worked very well and splitting up the tasks was fast. As we had already collected the needed parts in the last sprint we didn’t have to spend as much time on that. Except for the canoes. Communicated with Product...

...general budget of the project will be 300,000 pounds. 3-Project Planning Phase: The planning stage is a very important stage in projects; the latter is due to the fact that this stage contains organizing the priorities of the work and also developing the plan for the project. The plan helps to determine the length of time for each task in the project status, the schedules and the resources needed for the project. The planning stage gives focus in understanding the way of the project’s execution. 4- Project Execution Phase: The project execution phase includes the start of the job and giving the orders to begin the process of working on the project, which is the development of a tablet device for school students. It helps in the control process and the monitoring of the things that occur within the project. For example, in the implementation process there should be monitoring of what is happening by the technocracy and to give them orders that are in favor of the work. Moreover, it helps in developing the skills and in providing training to produce high quality tablets....

To clarify, this should “contain information that, at any time, the project manager knows what remains to be done, when, with what resources, by whom, when the task will be completed, and what deliverables the output should include” (Mantel, 2011, p. 79). As such, this document can be referenced throughout the life cycle of the project to clarify any questions regarding purpose and deliverables. “A significant part of the value of a project charter results from the dialogue that should surround its creation” (Moore, 2010). Therefore, the goals and descriptions included should be clear and concise. In addition, stemming from several discussions and roundtables conducted before the charter’s inception. Because this document will be available to all stakeholders, the language must be readable by all, meaning the use of jargon or terminology specific to the organization managing...

...during project execution to attain goals in scope, cost, and schedule. It is, therefore, of primary importance that the scope and WBS are inclusive and detailed. Just remember that as a project manager, your family comes first but the project scope and WBS are not far behind. Introduction Cost and schedule form two sides of the iron triangle of project management with the third side being the collection of scope, quality, and performance. This makes cost and schedule paramount concerns to a project manager. Cost and schedule control on a project are vital to a successful project. As you know, this course is named Project Schedule and Cost Control, which may imply that the project is underway and it's time to go to work. However, the process for project control has to start with a plan, because without a plan, it is impossible to know where we are going or to judge how we are doing at getting there. This week, we will cover creating the project plan that will help us create a foundation for the rest of the course. The primary parts of the plan are the budget, the schedule, and the multitude of details that fill these out. We will...

...WHITE PAPER Cloud Computing from the Ground Up Cloud Basics and Pragmatic Best Practices for Getting Started July 2010 John Bair, Chief Technology Officer, Ajilitee John Rhoton, Author, Cloud Computing Explained: Implementation Handbook for Enterprises ©Ajilitee and John Rhoton 2010 Tomorrow’s forecast: cloudy with a high chance of value What is cloud computing? The experts disagree on its exact definition, but most concur that it includes the notion of web-based services that are available on demand from an optimized, and highly scalable, service provider. Despite the technical sound of its characterization, it not only has garnered excitement from technologists but also has captured the attention of business leaders around the world. If you read the press, cloud computing has the potential for significant impact on technology, business and may even carry far-reaching economic and political implications. Research from industry analyst firms affirms that corporate investments are increasing in cloud infrastructure, applications and services, keeping IT spending steady despite a less-than-ideal business climate. And a recent Gartner report forecasts the global cloud services market to reach $68.3 billion in 2010, and jumping to $149 billion by 2014, as a testament to the acceleration of cloud adoption by enterprises. But all this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is relevant to you and your company. Unless it solves a problem or unleashes a new opportunity that is specific...

...sensor devices. The company is concentrating on its resources in metal can packaging. The second phase of the company's program is towards the development of other types of optoelectronics and sensors device packaging to support their customer requirements. In this paper, the proponents will present an Automated Inventory System using Portable Data Acquisition (PDA) module to help the company’s growing business. The PDA module is composed of barcode scanner to scan issued and received items, and a Z8F6423 Zilog microcontroller to store the information. A Product Inventory System (PIS) application program is also discussed to show how the PDA module can be interfaced with the PIS. Test results presented in this paper will show apparent improvement of company’s inventory system. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Inventory system is an effective way for monitoring and tracking different materials that are transferred in and out of a company’s warehouse or establishment usually for accounting purposes.

...An Introduction to PMBOK Guide 5th Edition: Knowledge Areas, Processes and Process Groups One of the most discussed tables in the Project Management Institute’s (PMI), A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) Fifth Edition is the “Project Management Process Groups and Knowledge Areas Mapping” matrix, found in Table 3-1 on page 61. This table maps the 47 processes of project management to their corresponding Knowledge Area, as well as to their corresponding Process Group. At first glance, the table seems quite complicated, so let’s break it down and uncover why a solid understanding of the relationships between processes, Process Groups, and Knowledge Areas is important to anyone preparing to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) ® exam. It’s so important, in fact, that we suggest you memorize this matrix and the relationships it calls out. Memorizing the table will prove to be a valuable asset to you during your PMP Exam. What is a “Process” – 47 processes of project management? Let’s start with the building blocks of the matrix - what is a process? At its most basic level, a process is simply a way of transforming an input into an output using proven tools and techniques. The PMBOK® Guide defines a process as “a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a specified set of products, results, or services.” Good processes-based on sound principles and proven practices-are extremely important for a project’s success....
