...Assignment 2 (1) (20 points) Chapter 3, Question 20 on Page 160 Why is it more difficult to keep the project on its time and cost schedules the later the project gets in its life cycle? The later you are in the project, the less time you have to fix the schedule if/when things go wrong. When completion comes to near, the schedules become the high-priority goal, and cost suffers. Obstacles also tend to be clustered around two issues: first, last minute schedule and technical changes, and second, a series of problems that have as their source the uncertainty surrounding what happens to members of the project when the project is completed. The way to deal with last-minute schedule and technical changes is “the best you can.” Early in the project, you can rearrange tasks, add resources or simply the project; later on, those options aren't available. (2) (20 points) Chapter 3, Question 13 on Page 160 Identify the five multicultural factors requiring special consideration. The five multicultural factors requiring special consideration are: 1. Importance of language and culture 2. The need to deal with the politics and politicians in the host nation 3. Local content requirements such as the use of indigenous staff members 4. The possibility of input supply and technology problems 5. The need to obey local laws and customs There are additional risk factors such as kidnapping, disease, and faulty medical care.

...1. What project did you do for you second project? Since we had just finished our second project, I thought that it would be interesting to learn what projects that everyone did and to see how it went. The Fasting project was done by one group member and two other group members did Sabbath project and I did the Service project. We talked about thing that we liked about the project and things that we did not like about the projects. The two members that did the Sabbath project both said that they enjoyed their projects, although they did find it a tiny bit frustrating that during the times that they were trying to commit to their time of Sabbath that was the times that they we most motivated to do homework. The group member that participated in the fasting project said that it was a hard project to stay committed to simply because as a college student you eat when you get a chance or it convenient to eat. I did not find the Service project hard at all simply because I have many opportunities to serve certain people in my life. 2. Did you learn anything about yourself from your project?...

...Assignment #2: “Project Motorcycles” Jesse Fontanez BUS 375 – Project Management Professor Lodge November 2, 2014 New, Improved, Faster, Motorcycle Project Plan The implementation stages of motorcycles larger than 1100 cc project is a true display of the defining moments that make a project a success or a failure. The implementation stage is defined as "motorcycle modifications being installed and made operational in a production environment. The phase is initiated after the motorcycles has been tested and accepted. This phase continues until the system is operating in production in accordance with the defined motorcycle requirements”. While all of the planning that takes place in preparation of the implementation phase is critical, I am of the opinion that the implementation itself is equally as important. When working through the process of defining the motorcycle and selecting the organizational personnel to create this motorcycle systems, the beginning stages become the most important part of the motorcycle project for this organization. A tremendous effort has to be exuded in planning and preparation for the motorcycle development and deployment. The start of the motorcycle implementation phase is indication that progress was being made and the motorcycles are well underway. Before analyzing the process of project planning in teams it is necessary to identify the differences between such terms as a group of people and a team...

...Case Study 2: Project Leadership Roles at TriHealth Stacy D. Rivers Dr. Stephen Castellese HRM 517 – Managing Human Resource Projects April 29, 2012 1. Identify the common roles in a human resource project. Then, analyze these roles to typical human resource functions. First and foremost, projects are considered the most important method that many organizations and companies use to reach their strategic goals. From this common roles are identified and filled to fulfill the needs of a human resource project. There are executive, managerial and associate level roles in regards to a human resource project. The common roles of these levels are sponsor, project manager and core team member. The roles of these levels have different functions; however they work together to have a successful completed project. For example, a sponsor is an individual or group that provides financial assistance for the project. A sponsor has a significant stake in the outcome of the project. A sponsor can sometimes perform various tasks in regards to the project, whether behind the scenes or in the public eye. The sponsor is involved in the project from start to finish. The sponsor for example, can align the project and mentor the project manager; start stakeholder relationships; provide resources; ensure progress; ensure goals and satisfaction and ensure closure. So the sponsor is fully engulfed in every aspect and stage of the project. The sponsor is an important fixture...

Meeting these goals and objectives usually bring about change that are beneficial values. How the nature of the project stands up to business operations that are repetitive, permanent activities which produce products for services. The system is different which requires the development of technical and management skills. One of the top industries that is in high demand for project management is the health industry. As someone who previously worked in the health industry, this gives me the knowledge to know that this is a continuous growing and evolving industry. The complexities of an effective health industry is made up of: material supply, supply chain network, operations management, outside resources for customers, recruitment teams, IT teams, technical teams, hospital networks, ambulances, and police, etc. The future growth of the aging population makes this industry one of the best for project managers.

I will define the project deliverables, constants and assumptions. Perform a Level 1 WBS and speak to Dr. Splient’s abilities as a viable project manager. Analysis The analysis of the proposals from Dr. Splient’s team will help define the project deliverables amongst the team. “Whenever you have a new project (either created/identified by you or assigned to you), one of the first things you should do is define the deliverables for the project. The deliverables on a project are the specific work products that you have to produce in order to complete the project,” (Perman, 2009).There is a two month timeline for the completion of this part of the project as the entire project is rushed due to the needs of St Dimas and their need to finish before the summer or July 2000. There are several people responsible for their different parts of the project. The Construction Project Manager has the responsibility of construction. The COO will oversee design and logistics of food services, housekeeping, staffing, and policy and procedure development.
