Plus Saturday from 12 AM to 3 AM, and 4 AM to 8 PM. 24 Hours is every day from 12 AM to 12 AM. 2) What is the difference between a base calendar and a resource calendar? A bade calendar is for everyone to use while a resource calendar is only for that resource that was assigned to. 3) Why schedule one project meeting after completion of the last task, Test System? Since we were working out the work days in the schedule, it lower the finish date on the project. But since the last project meeting was set to this date it could not be changed. So when we delete it, the project days lower down. 4) Give an example of when you would assign a 24-hour calendar to a resource. When we need that resource to work every day in the given time we need them to. For example a securities guard. 5) If you were doing a senior project, what would be the base calendar you would use for students working on the project and what adjustments would you make to it? If I was working on a senior project there is no set time on when they...

...Review Questions Name __Jerry Valentino Answer the following questions (use MS Project Help, if necessary): 1. What is the difference between a main summary task and a summary task? The main summary task describes the project and has multiple tasks outlined below it. In this week 1 lab, Jay Bongcaron’s New System is the main summary task. Summary task are subordinate to a main summary task. Each summary task is a description that consists of multiple tasks that are scheduled to be completed in the project. For example, this week’s lab had Proposal Creation, Vendor Selection, Implement System, and Project meeting as summary tasks. 2. On the View Tab, what does the Outline button with plus and minus signs do? If only the main summary task is showing in the Gantt chart, the plus sign will show all the subtasks below it. If all subtasks are showing, then the minus sign will collapse and hide all the tasks to only show the main summary task. 3. What is a milestone? A milestone represents an event that marks the completion of a group of related tasks. This week’s lab has a milestone of Award Contract on 11/25/2013 when the Vendor Selection summary task is completed. 4. What predefined report can you not make changes to the header and footer? This would be the project summary report 5. Give a real-world example of a) A successor task requiring lead time Placing drywall on a home usually requires waiting for an electrician to...

...What Am I Worth? DeVry University What Am I Worth? There is a balancing act that has to happen periodically in the work place in order for the employees to be happy and fairly compensated and for a business to stay afloat. In the application case: “Appraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater U” the balance was in danger of being tipped when the university realized that there was a bias that was occurring during annual job performance appraisals. Because these appraisals were directly tied to annual income raises, these biases proved to be very costly to the university since every appraisal led to a maximized income raise for every secretary at Sweetwater U. In this scenario, the secretaries at Sweetwater U were happy but the University’s budget was not. After newly appointed Vice President for administrative affairs Rob Winchester met with his experts at Sweetwater U, they presented him with two ideas that were viable ideas but in my opinion, insufficient. The first recommendation that Winchester’s experts gave was to change the rating form that was being used by the administrators to appraise their secretaries. The second idea that was presented to Vice President Winchester was to sever the tie which directly linked the secretaries’ rating forms to their annual income raises. One agreeable aspect to changing the rating form would allow an unbiased rating system to be developed so that the rating form would have some form of value with consideration to the...

...Answer the following questions: 1) What is a resource? People, equipment & materials necessary to complete a task 2) Why aren't resources assigned to summary tasks? Summary tasks are simply a grouping for a set of related tasks. The indiv tasks require resources but the summary task is just a compilation of those resources. 3) What is the difference between Start, Prorated and End in association with costs? Start – cost applied at the beginning of the task Prorated – cost applied as work is completed End – cost applied when the task is completed 4) Give a real-world example of the difference between a fixed cost and a cost per use? Give a real-world example of the difference between a fixed cost and a cost per use? Fixed Cost: (buy equipment) company bids $500 to clean carpet, cost of airline ticket… Cost Per Use: (rent equipment) Hourly rate on moving van, rental of shampoo machine, landing fee each time plane lands… 5) Why is a fixed cost entered with the task and not the resource? Because the cost is the same no matter how many people, hours, materials used. Not dependent upon the amount of time or number of resources it takes to complete. 6) Why is the resource cost for the Wiring Contractor $0.00? Because the installation of the wiring is a fixed contractual price of $4000 – it will not matter how many hours the contractor takes – still the same price. 7) Which resource is Overallocated and why?

...Hi Class….Welcome to MGMT404! Below are some tips on how to be successful in this class! Download MS Project “2010” version Make sure you download MS Project 2010 early in week 1. Do not wait until the weekend in case you have issues and need to contact tech support. It takes about 30 minutes or less to download. It takes about 2 hours to do Lab 1a and 1b. My recommendation is to download a free 60-day license from Microsoft. This way, if you are unable to access the Citrix server, you have the MS Project software on your desktop to do your labs and work on your course project. Instructions on how to download are in the course room, see the syllabus and doc sharing. Note: Do not download MS PROJECT 2013, as version 2013 does not align with the lab assignment instructions. You need version 2010 to execute your lab instructions properly. What will you learn from this course? * It is about: 1) Learning project management concepts, 2) Learning how to use the MS Project Tool, and 3) Applying course concepts and MS Project skills to build a project plan for something that interests you. * The “discussions” will provide insight on the concepts in the text. * The “labs” will teach you how to use MS Project, so you can build your own MS project schedule for your course project. * The “course project” will bring together several of the weekly deliverables into one Project Management Plan in week 8. Each week builds upon the previous week. ...

We have teens that are having babies with no place to go. There are teens that are on drugs and would like to get away from that lifestyle. There are teens that have runaway to escape an abusive situation and are now living on the streets. The goal of this project is to find a facility that these teens can go to, in order to get off of the streets. Get counseling and a chance to make a better life for themselves. With finding this shelter it is my thought that the City of Dayton can have less crime because these teens are off the street and don’t have to do bad things to get money and hopefully make room in the jails for serious offenders not teens trying to support themselves. Goals that address the mission * The major focus of this teen outreach project is to concentrate on the mission to pave a way for our misguided youth. * Provide an environment of learning and education that benefits our...

...Corporate Responsibility From a business perspective, working under government contracts can be a very lucrative proposition. In general, a stream of orders keep coming in, revenue increases and the company grows in the aggregate. The obvious downfalls to working in this manner is both higher quality expected as well as the extensive research and documentation required for government contracts. If a part fails to perform correctly it can cause minor glitches as well as problems that can carry serious repercussions, such as in the National Semiconductor case. When both the culpable component and company are found, the question arises of how extensive these repercussions should be. Is the company as an entity liable or do you look into individual employees within that company? From an ethical perspective one would have to look at the mitigating factors of both the employees and their superiors along with the role of others in the failure of these components. Next you would have to analyze the final ruling from a corporate perspective and then we must examine the macro issue of corporate responsibility in order to attempt to find a resolution for cases like these. The first mitigating factor involved in the National Semiconductor case is the uncertainty, on the part of the employees, on the duties that they were assigned. It is plausible that during the testing procedure, an employee couldnt distinguish which parts they were to test under government standards and commercial standards...

...The Integration of AskHR MGMT404 Project Management April 25, 2013 Table of Contents Executive Summary Scope Statement Work Breakdown Structure Network Diagram Risk Management Plan Resource Management Plan Communication Management Plan Executive Summary Several years ago we signed a contract with an outside vendor to handle our HR calls; this company was mostly there to assist during open enrollment and to answer the questions of colleagues as it pertained to their Benefits through our corporation. We set high expectations, however, shortly after the launch we started experiencing longer than usual hold times, and the miscommunication of accurate information began to increase. We received tons of unsatisfactory emails and calls from disgruntle colleagues pleading for an alternative to calling the “solution center.” While we really wanted the experience to be pleasurable, it was extremely difficult to change the already tarnished reputation the vendor had established with our colleagues. After a year and a half of negative feedback we decided to sever ties with the vendor, and the search for alternatives began. After several meetings with the Senior Leadership Team it was determined that providing the type of relatable service that expressed care and concern could only be provided by colleagues of our corporation who understood how Benefits are administered. It was later decided that we would bring our service center in-house and staff the...

...Objectives - MS Project 2010 * Understanding Project Scheduling * Introduction to Microsoft Project * Working with Project Tasks * Basic views, time scales and reports Whether you are a project manager or not, project management techniques are extremely helpful in meeting goals and objects. Project management techniques define a path to a specified goal and then supervise the implementation. MS Project can help you establish your initial plan as well as monitor progress. MS Project can quickly produce reports and other information that will help keep management, customers, and your project team informed. To get the most from MS Project, not only do you need to understand project management terminology, you also need to be familiar with the software itself. Therefore, do not attempt to quickly finish the lab, but take your time and read all instructions carefully. Understanding Project Scheduling A typical project is composed of tasks and resources. After tasks are identified, you organize the tasks in a logical hierarchy, also called a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Eventually, this sequence will show the interdependencies of each task. Then each task is given a duration. In MS Project, this can be in weeks, days, hours or minutes. You can also specify a milestone, which will represent an event that marks the completion of a group of related tasks. To accomplish any task, you need resources. Resources can include people,...
