...User Group – Scope Team Review The book states that project scope management includes the processes to ensure that the project addresses all the work required to complete the project successfully (Schwalbe, 2014). End user/customer of the scope team would be project members working on the app. The end user/customer of the overall project would be the employees that will be using the health application and website. This review is from the perspective of the end user of the scope team. Feedback * The team stated that they collected 7 requirements. I imagine that these are high-level requirements that will have further derived requirements. * Using surveys to gain perspective on user needs is good for requirements gathering. * They could also utilize other forms of market research to aid in the requirements gathering. * A 6 month deadline is good, quick turnaround – but is it possible to present a good application in that time period? * 70% employee participation is high—what will the company do to drive that participation? * This question was also asked in-class * The team’s response: says that marketing the application isn’t “their job” so what is their job? Strictly app/website development, like in a contracting sense? And if that’s the case they how do they have the authority to determine the differing change control boards? * The user/task analysis doesn’t necessarily need IT support staff present. The user may feel intimidated...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1.1 Background of the Problem The Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Parochial School started as a preschool in 1968. Classes were held in a one-room makeshift building beside the parish hall. Since it received an enthusiastic response from the Catholic parents, its enrollment increased at an unexpected rate. The Catholic Women’s League Unit of the parish was first tasked to take charge of the management of the school as part of its apostolate. In the school-year 1980 – 1981, the school was registered as a non -stock, non – profit corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Official Recognition was granted by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports on October 21, 1987 for the Elementary Department. The High School Department was extended Recognition by the Department of Education on July 31, 2002 . Thus the school offers a complete pre-school (nursery, kindergarten, preparatory), and basic education: elementary (Grades 1-6) and high school (1st to 4th Year ).

Para evitar la caries o la gingivitis, el procedimiento es tan sabido que parece una cantaleta: el primer paso es cepillar los dientes a diario después de cada comida, recurrir al hilo dental para eliminar los restos de comida escondidos entre los dientes... y el uso de enjuagues bucales. Sí, el uso de estos últimos no es superfluo, como muchos pueden creer. Pero no todas las marcas son igual de capaces de auxiliar en la salud bucodental. Febrero 2009 • Consumidor 45 L os enjuagues bucales ayudan a suprimir temporalmente el mal aliento, reducen las bacterias en la boca y la refrescan, dejando en ella un sabor agradable. Algunos contienen ingredientes activos para ayudar a proteger contra enfermedades orales como la caries o la gingivitis. La caries dental es una enfermedad común, aunque en los últimos años su frecuencia ha disminuido gracias a los programas de salud bucodental, a una mayor atención dental y a la utilización de algunos ingredientes activos en los dentífricos y en las aguas de consumo. La caries se caracteriza por la destrucción del esmalte dental y la dentina (tejido duro situado debajo del esmalte) ocasionado por bacterias (entre ellas el streptococcus mutans), que se desarrollan en la placa dental y producen un medio ácido que...

...Scope of the project: This project will offer an excellent support for communication and information exchange through automation of business processes and operations. In this scenario, Reliable Pharmaceutical Service (RPS) can provide products to its clients. In addition, by using this system client will send prescription to Reliable Pharmaceutical Service and in response of that prescription corporate delivers the respective order. Such types of order processing and delivery system will also work delicately for other business departments and associated client organizations. In this scenario the client organizations will send the payment when Reliable Pharmaceutical Service will send them the bills of pervious products provided to them. This process is done using a web based application which happens to be user friendly and should be hosted at the headquarters of Reliable Pharmaceutical Service. The existing data Reliable Pharmaceutical Service should be moved into the new web based application.

...Question 25: “What is a project’s scope?” Project scope is the first step of the process definition process and it sets the stage for developing a project plan. According to Gray and Larson (2008) “project scope is a definition of the end result or mission of the project which primarily purpose is to define the deliverable to the end user and to focus project plans.” Scope refers to all the work and processes involved in the creation of the project. And provides a view of what is expected to be delivered with the project. The experience of many project managers and researchers has demonstrated that a poor defined project scope represents an obstacle for the project success and it represent approximately 50% of the planning problems. (Gray & Larson, 2008) The scope of a project is the process of subdividing major deliverables manageable components of the project and helps improving the accuracy of estimates of cost and time. Also defines a baseline for measurement and control of the project. And provide a better allocation of roles and responsibilities. This means that the scope is the definition of the steps and guidelines to follow into the project and it is in order to satisfy all requirements in the project The project scope definition is a document to be prepared and published to be used by the project owner and participants to track project progress and determine success.

...Project Scope MGMT412 Unit 2 Assignment Project Scope A project scope is all the work that has to be done in order to deliver a product or service. The project scope statement is a detailed description of the project’s end result and the work required to make those end results. It provides an understanding between the stakeholders about the project’s scope. It will include the product scope description, product acceptance criteria, project deliverables, project exclusions, project constraints, and project assumptions. A product scope description explains the features of the product that is described in the project charter and requirement documents. The product acceptance criteria will define the process by which the accepted product is completed. The project deliverables is the products end result. The project exclusions are the items that cannot be included in the final project. The project constraint is the limits, such as to the budget, for the project. The project assumption is a list of the assumptions about the project and the end result if those assumptions are not met (A Guide, 2008). The project scope as it relates to sales and marketing will be affected after a survey determines that the customer wants more or different things in their product. This means that the project would cost more and the time line to get the product out may be sooner than planned. This affects things like the financial bottom line (How Marketing, 2011). The deliverables the team will...

...between forces of tradition and modernity. This tension was represented in whole by the Scopes Trial. The Scopes Trial was a court case where the Attorney General of Tennessee charged a high school biology teacher named John Scopes for going against the law of not being able to teach Darwin’s theory of evolution in school. Darwin’s theory of evolution stated that complex forms of life, like human beings, developed from simpler forms of life. Darwin’s modern theory clashed heavily with the fundamentalist, or traditionalist, view in the Bible, where God creates humans. The law of not being able to teach Darwinism in public schools was passed in 1925 by the state of Tennessee. The ACLU, or American...

...The term “scope of practice” is defined as the actions, procedures, etc. that are permitted by law for specific professions. It is restricted to what the law permits based on specific experience and educational qualifications. In order to determine a task is within your scope of practice you need to follow three specific steps like define the issue, review laws, rules, standards etc and make the decision. When we get a task to do we must clarify the specific activity and we need to obtain additional information about the tasks like the policies and procedures in the facility. Then we have to do a self-assessment to make sure that we are capable enough to do that. Because once we accept the task, we were the one accountable for that. Sometimes common practices in the facility may not be legal in terms of the tasks by the nurses. Working outside the scope of practice could potentially a reason for the disciplinary action against our nursing license by board of nursing. Based on these elements we should decide whether we are willing to accept the consequences of our own action, if not do not perform the activity. When I started working in the surgical ICU after my orientation, they assigned me a patient who was 1st day post op after bariatric surgery. I knew that nurses needs to have bariatric surgery certification to take care of the patients. I did not have that certification that time. In addition, if anything happen adversely, the surgeon will definitely ask about the nurse...

...The Scopes Trial By：Wang Congcong The Scopes Trial (Monkey Trial) and its aftermath caused our nation to closely examine the ties between religion and science. The Scopes Trial was the case of a high school biology teacher John Scopes against the state law against teaching Evolution in classroom. The case drew a lot of public attention. Even though the Scopes trial failed, succeeded in getting people to ask themselves, " what should I believe". In 1859, Charles Darwin released his work" Origin of the Species" old man of human are monkeys. Major people are fundamentalist, support the Bible, they believe God created human the story of Garden of Eden. Darwin''s theory subverted the story from Bible.So his speech had problems with church of England, Evolution is a new thing for the whole society, most people thought it 's a joke, and few people really considered became whose try to defend Darwin's theory and spread the ideas of Evolution. In the late days, Darwin's speak of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, now concept of the life sciences. In 1925, Tennessee passed a law, the Butler Act, that make illegal to teach Darwin's theory of evolution in public school. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) thought the law violated people's rights. " The 1st Amendment to the constitution protects that separation when it says. Congress shall make no...

...Evan Boiko HIS 112-005 10-16-11 The Scopes Trial The Scopes Trial was one of the most famous trials in the history of the United States due to the intense passion and concern that people had for it. The defense was defending personal freedom and democracy while the prosecution imposed on these values. In the end, even though John Scopes and his defense team lost the trial, they won in the long run by influencing decisions made in the future regarding free speech in the classroom and what teachers were required to teach. Many people had intense feelings for the Scopes Trial. These feelings and concern people had for the trial made it one of the most famous trials in America. Some people simplified the trial to Darwin vs. the Bible. This issue made the Scopes trial a large concern to many because Darwin undermined the literal reading of the bible. Darwin's theory of evolution more specifically struck at two major parts of the Bible, the seven days of creation story, and the story of Adam and Eve and how they were the first humans on earth. Many people also considered Darwin's theory to be a "moral outrage" because of how the process of natural selection worked. For natural selection to occur, the unfit of the species were killed off in extremely large numbers. With this information, Darwin was suggesting that "nature revealed a God who was cruel and wasteful or absent altogether." This particular notion created strong opposition to Darwin's theory because of the possibility...
