...1. How does resource scheduling tie to project priority? a. Resource scheduling is directly tied to the project priority when the priority system selects projects that best contribute to the organizations objectives, within the constraints of the resources available. “If all projects and their respective resources are computer scheduled, the feasibility and impact of adding a new project to those in process can be quickly assessed. With this information the project priority team will add a new project only if resources are available to be formally committed to that specific project” (pg 251). It is paramount that scheduling resources are realistic judgments of resources availability and project durations. For example at my current job, the committee and I are planning a big event that’s sponsored by Macy’s. Before we can go to Macy’s with the project priority, as a committee we had to do the resource schedule such as the cost of everything we wanted to do and our project budget. Reference Larson, E. W., & Gray, C. F. (2014). Project management (6th ed.). Retrieved from The University of Phoenix eBook Collection database 2. How does resource scheduling reduce flexibility in managing projects? For resource-constrained projects, resource scheduling (leveling) reduces flexibility because (after leveling) slack is reduced and the amount of critical/near-critical activities increases; therefore, the number of CP’s may also increase. Further, scheduling complexity increases...

...America’s Dilemma According to Michael Pollan in the year 2009 in the novel Omnivore’s Dilemma, chapter 8 “Omnivore’s Dilemma,” we don’t know what to eat because we don’t have a food culture to fall back on. We question what to eat because we have never built a culture of food. “We have never had a national food culture in the United States. There’s really no such thing as ‘American Food’”(92). Since America is very diverse, and full of different people from all over the world, nothing has ever been established as to what to eat, what is healthy, and what the average human really needs. Thus, creating what we now know as The Omnivore’s Dilemma. “We have few rules, about what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat, we don’t have any strong food...
