...Case 1: POM+ Project* EM 480—Project Management 30 October 2014 By Adam Ribeiro, Ben Paprocki, Stephen Pietsch, Nicholas Miller Part 1 Based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), the POM+ Project will take 142 working days to complete. With a project start date of January 3, 2012 the project is estimated to be complete July 26, 2012. To compensate for over-allocation of resources and project constraints, the POM+ Project WBS includes leveling efforts to enhance the project scope and stay within budget. The POM+ Project team capitalized on the total slack within the project's schedule to optimize project resource management. The POM+ Project initially had 50 days of total slack to select distributors. Based on the initial WBS and critical path network diagram, Marketing, Research and Development, Engineering, and Production resources were over allocated. Through redesigning the WBS, the select distributors’ task now has six days of total slack allowing the marketing team members to focus their attention on other critical tasks.

...This set of photographs was shot in collaboration with my friend Rachel Wong for her portfolio interview at UAL. It is one of my three initial ideas for the Human Condition project – dystopia. Both the garment and the headpiece are hand made by me using various materials including yarns, pom poms, fabrics and cotton. The hat is based on a simple black cap, which I bought at a vintage market; I then painted it over with a thick layer of white acrylic and decorated it with some pompoms to create the cloud like silhouette. The sleeves of the top is designed to look much longer than a normal sleeve, aimed to cover the hands completely. The long tubes of padded quilting fold together to form the upper part of the traditional Chinese character “無” meaning “nothing” or “no”. The inspiration of this piece of garment comes from the subtheme dystopia, the strict definition of dystopia is : where everything is as bad as it can be. Dystopia can be hugely linked to Human Condition. The clouds symbolize the utopian world outside of prison and the knitwear symbolizes being in prison. The extra long sleeve that cover the hands show that there is no way of getting out of this restricted world. It can also link with the inevitability of death or suicidal because a dystopian environment such as the prison can be too restricted that people would think dying is a form of freedom. The understanding of 'nothing' varies widely between cultures, especially between Western and Eastern cultures and...

...Devonique Lujan November 4, 2012 Intro. To Grammar Is Cheerleading a Sport? Black eyes, busted lips and just plain pain, may you ask from what? You may not believe it, but yes this is from the sport cheerleading. I did not go one day at cheerleading practice without getting hurt. Practice after practice to make sure that we got everything we needed to be done, done. There are many arguments made regarding whether or not cheerleading is a sport. In addition, many people distinguish between a “yell” leader, versus a cheerleader who does stunting versus the competitive all-star cheerleader. You can say that some cheerleading is a sport while other cheerleading is not? That all depends on who you ask, and their definition of sports. Some say cheerleading is not a sport but experience tells me that cheerleading is the most dangerous sport out there. In general, one definition of sports is that they require some type of physical ability or skill that has to be learned and practiced. While no one would argue that cheerleaders practice, it can be argued that cheerleading, when it simply yelling into the crowds, does not require a great deal of skill. Anyone can learn routines and yell into the crowd as long as they smile and do their job. The sport of cheerleading is more than just pompoms and smiles. In my opinion cheerleading is a sport because it requires strength, balance, and coordination. There are many magazines and articles that claim that cheerleading...

...Position Paper “What do we call a Sport?” Each year we see arguments on different teams or news station you hear about a team have a member hurt or a team trying to hurt the other team intentionally. Well for years we have said that cheerleading is not a sport can we actually say that? By looking at all the statistics now a day technically it is a sport. We see this by the performance, physical requirements and dedication that cheerleaders show. Cheerleaders work their best each and every day to put on a performance for the crowd or judges. There are many rules and regulations in the competitions for cheerleaders even in the performances in a football game. From not going to high on a group stunt to not being able to do stunt on the basketball floor. They also have to time things just right because it could lead to disqualification. A wrong move or not enough practice can cause injuries that can put a person in a wheelchair or even death. So everything has to be looked at to assure safety. Like other sports, cheerleaders have to watch their weight and maintain a certain standard as well. So workout have to be keeping up to maintain their weight like football the line has to protect their Quarterback. Well if they choose to not keep up their training and there weight could get them kick off the team even lead to serious injuries to a teammate. So with doing more risky thing there is more of a demand for physical exertion. Muscle memory even plays a big part...

...The object I chose to describe is pompom. Pompom is an item used in cheerleading or cheerdancing. Pompoms are the decorative balls of handheld streamers thet cheerleaders often use as visual props. It gives visual effects in dances and even in other part of the routine. It is made up of cellophane or sometimes just a plain colored paper. It was first used back in 1930`s and at that time pompoms were all handmade from papers. Back in 1953, Lawrence Herkimer founded the cheerleading supply and started manufacturing pompoms. And in 1965 Fred Gastoff invented the first vinyl made pompom. Pom poms are also known as pompoms, poms, pom pons, pompons. All the spelling ending in “n” is the original names and all the spelling ending in “m” are the modernized names. I chose pompoms because it plays a great role in my passion which is cheerleading. In this time we don’t usually use pompoms but when I started as a cheerleader way back in high school, pompoms is the only symbol or mark that makes them recognize me as a cheerleader. Of course I don’t bring the pompoms all the time but whenever they see me holding one I am proud to say that I am a cheerleader. As time passed by I continue gaining knowledge and skills as a cheerleader. I became known in most of the college squads. We even won the National Cheerleading Competition and became top 1 in the country when I was in 3rd year high school. And now I have this scholarship here in Letran College because of everything skills I gained...

...My early nine o’clock appointment was at the Children’s Center in Fairfield, I entered through the rear of the building, because I found parking close by. I see children in their rooms it was a quiet walk from the laundry area down the hallway towards the Front Desk, but occasionally I will hear a child scream. Everything seemed clean and organized. The staff at the front desk was courteous, very helpful and friendly. I signed in and they gave me batch to wear while I am there. I chose a twenty-nine month old little boy named Mario, he was the oldest and the tallest of the other four, age ranging from a year to two years. “By the time a child reaches the age of two their weight increase by seventy-five percent, their head circumference increases from fourteen to nineteen inches”. Mario weight about thirty to thirty-five pounds, he has a full head of hair, so his head size to me is equivalent to his body size and weight. “Emotional regulation and impulse control continue to develop…[the] first cognition of exiting, social interactions and later cognitions of more abstract thoughts” Berger, Grossman (2013). Mario is quite a character, he speaks and teaches the little ones with authority. “In Biosocial growth, a caregiver enables babies to grow, to move and learn” (p. 129) 9:00 a.m. The three caregivers were joining in play time of how to change baby’s diapers. Mario was holding three play baby bottles for a doll wearing a green outfit. The caregiver respond to Mario’s request...

...Support Paper 129-2007 Project Organization Proposal (POP) and Project Leadership Plan Guide Rex Pruitt, PREMIER Bankcard, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD 57104 ABSTRACT In my 20+ years of experience using SAS and organizing projects, the success or failure of any project, no matter how small or large, generally resulted from how well a project was planned, organized and executed. This paper presents an easy to use Project Organization Proposal (POP) that can be implemented without adding additional resources to the MIS or IT divisions. It simply suggests the effective use of existing resources. However, as would be expected, the POP will only succeed if it receives support from 1) business MIS Management, 2) IT Management, 3) and their respective staff. The collaboration of all resources associated with a project is critical to its success. Clearly defining roles and accountabilities must be established prior to project initiation. Also included in this paper is a Project Leadership Plan guide. This guide will serve as a critical planning document, or checklist, that can be used to ensure that any project meets with success. If this guide cannot be completed, the project should not be initiated. 1 SAS Global Forum 2007 Planning, Development and Support INTRODUCTION In my 20+ years of experience using SAS and organizing projects, the success or failure of any project, no matter how small or large, generally resulted from how well a project was planned, organized...

...Few memories as a failure on a major project from half a decade ago still vividly remains in memories. As a Research Assistant to Tim, it was my first paid job. Tim, an Engineer, worked in silos and had driver social style to his heart beat. He only communicated the expectations without delving in the details that he had in his mind. Even though the Office space was a closed knit space for 16 students, Tim seldom hung out with people to build personal relationships. He only interacted with others when there was a need. His lack of explanation on why the project was needed had left me wondering regarding purpose and design aspects of the new programming project. I struggled on how to effectively design the project and often sought help from other people, who recommended me that the project needed investment in new programming platform as old platform was incapable of achieving the project objectives. After making almost no progress on the project and wasting time in attempts to make old platform workable, I received a vehement email from Tim, stating that XYZ Inc. was deciding to scale back on funding, as no progress reports were submitted. I was shocked to learn that I was even expected to submit progress reports at the end of quarter on the undertaken project in which I had neither any clue nor communication. As an amiable person, I was too quick to reach an agreement with Tim on project deliverables. I had thought that I would be receiving friendly advice and guidance from...

...For ""Anticipated Project Size"" use your internal metrics as guidance. For example, if you use lines of code, then mentally assign ball park values to Small, Medium and Large as part of determining whether to give this criteria a high or low score. Follow a similar process ""Anticipated Duration"". Since project duration depends on project complexity, mentally categorize earlier projects as short, average or long duration to help put the current project in context. 2. After assigning a score for each criteria, view the Feasibility Study Suitability Indicator to discover the best method to use for determining project viability. 3.
