...Project Management 1. Discuss the primary function of a project plan. According to the Project Management Book of Knowledge, the project plan is "...a formal, approved document used to guide both project execution and project control. The primary uses of the project plan are to document planning assumptions and decisions, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and document approved scope, cost, and schedule baselines. A project plan may be summarized or detailed." Therefore, the Project plan should document the scope, cost and schedule of a project. These 3 factors together comprise the triple constraint, so called because if any one of these factors changes, the other 2 factors must be adjusted to maintain the quality of the finished product. The project plan also outlines any assumptions about the project and serves as a communication tool amongst stakeholders. The stakeholders are defined as anyone who will be affected by the project. At a minimum, a project plan should answer the following questions: 1) Why-Why is this project being undertaken, what are the goals? 2) What-What work will be completed on this project? What is the scope of the project? 3) Who-Who will be involved in this project and what are their responsibilities? 4) When-What is the timeline, what are the milestones and when do they need to be accomplished? 2.

...Alejandro Portugal Martin Pretorius Iona Ramió Mateu OCEAN PARK CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine animal theme park located in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It was inaugurated in 1977 by the Government with the intention to bring somewhere where Hong Kong citizens could feel some sense of space as a large part of the population lived in a crowded locality. So it was inaugurated as a nonprofit organization that aimed to provide visitors a unique experience in entertainment, education, and conservation. Firstly, in the absence of competition, Ocean Park became really popular but existed without direction and focus. When Hong Kong's officials signed an agreement to bring Disneyland to Hong Kong in 1999, the Ocean Park's viability started to be questioned. By 2005, when Disneyland Hong Kong was inaugurated, Ocean Park was unprofitable and widely expected to lose out. Nevertheless, the Park responded with a development plan and showed their abilities for adaptation and turn threats into opportunities. It expanded the number of attractions and rides, raising the number of visitors, becoming the world's 13th most visited theme park and the ...

...MGMT 315 - Unit 5 Individual Project American InterContinental University April 26, 2015 Abstract The Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) is responsible for the strategic planning revolving personnel. The new expansion of the organization prompted the CHRO to outline a course of action to fulfill newly created key positions. Individual positions, educational and experience requirements along with the hiring practice have been provided as a defined process. Unit 5 Individual Project As the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO), it is essential to carefully plan all actions involving a business expansion. The CHRO must lay out a detailed course of action to ensure successful growth. First, it is very important to understand that all prospective job applicants have legal rights before they become employed by a company (Legal Rights During the Hiring Process, 2013). In accordance with federal law, employers cannot discriminate based on the applicant’s: religion, disability, gender, race, ethnic background and in the case of female applicants, pregnancy. Furthermore, the location of the new business expansion could also add additional state and local laws defending the applicant’s sexual orientation. (Legal Rights During the Hiring Process, 2013). Interviewers must have a clear understanding of acceptable interview questions. Questions relating to previously stated topics must be avoided. The CHRO should be deeply engaged in the interview process in order to avoid...

The vice president of information systems should report daily to senior management – not to or under the authority of user personnel. This will ensure that the information systems are not subordinate to a user which could improperly allocate information systems resources to other user projects. The vice president of information systems should have better access to the executive management team as well as the board of directors. The operations team should not be allowed...
