...Course: Date: Rapid Project Development Introduction Rapid project development is a software development methodology which uses less planning to favor prototyping; this planning is reached in writing the software itself which will allow it to be faster and easy for requirements changes because of lack of pre-planning in the software. The powerful case software should be available for the developers to come with the system faster because it will enable developers to come up with the best system irrespective of programming language and the cording system. The product should be produced within less time so that it can be tested by the users i.e. the prototype should be designed fully and produced within short time for the users to use it first if it can help their organization to the maximum level or not. If not they have to return the system to the developers to start working on it again. This system started around 1970 and it’s still used today because of its special lifecycle where we had planning, analysis, design, building testing and deploying to the users. The rapid project development should be compressed and also another lifecycle should be followed before providing it for the users to start using it in their organization or business premises firstly the developers should give what they require to the organization or the customer who needs to make the project for them to make the budget after which the developers should design the project for implementation. Then...

Information Systems Methodologies……………………………………2 3. Stakeholder Identification………………………………………………..4 4. Discussion…………………………………………………………………5 5. Conclusion…………………………………………………………………7 1. Introduction The UK Academy for Information Systems (www.ukais.org) describes information systems as “the means by which organizations and people, using information technologies, gather, process, store, use and disseminate information”. However, managing projects to implement information systems continues to be a challenge for organisations (Benko and McFarlan, 2003). Even though companies invest billions in Information Systems projects (PMI), managing these projects is difficult (Gibbs, 1994). The Standish Group CHAOS research summarised that in 2008 less than a third of information projects were considered to be successful and the KPMG survey (2002) suggests that the culpable for the failure is not only the project manager, but everyone involved in the project. While some academics were focused on identifying the most significant methodologies (Wynekoop and Russo, 1997) which will help the system developers to better plan and manage the information systems projects, others started considering the “peopleware” concept when examining the effectiveness of information systems projects (Guinan et...

...Innovation and project development: an impossible equation? Lessons from an innovative automobile project development Franck Aggeri and Blanche Segrestin Ecole des Mines de Paris, 60 Boulevard Saint Michel, 75272 Paris cedex 06, France. Franck.Aggeri@cgs.ensmp.fr; Blanche.Segrestin@cgs.ensmp.fr Product development performance has become a key issue for car manufacturers. But innovation seeks to outperform dominant design, whereas project development targets welldefined areas (costs, lead times, quality, etc.). This article provides an analysis of the extent to which innovation is compatible with recent managerial and technical methods (project and multi-project management, co-development, simulation tools and digital mock-ups, etc.). The analysis is based on a recent development project conducted at Renault in which these various techniques were used in an attempt to achieve highly ambitious targets simultaneously in the areas of lead times, costs and innovation. During the course of the project, unexpected design problems revealed failures in co-ordination, monitoring procedures and expertise. We argue that recent project development methods can induce negative effects on collective learning processes and that these effects have managerial implications for innovative developments. 1. Introduction I n recent years, innovation has, for most firms, become a key issue in an economic context in which competition is increasingly driven by high rates of...

...Management on a Satellite Development Project” Case Study #3 Tammie Y. Harris Professor Dr. Mary Hair Collins Managing Human Resource Projects- HRM517004VA016-1128-001 December 8, 2012 | 1. Suggest the issues that could have developed had the team not had a risk plan. The main factor for not completing the project is team failure which is because of poor overall initial planning. When there are unrealistic goals being set, creating a chaotic working environment there is bound to be nothing but pure failure of the project and its success in the near future. There can be two major causes for the team project failures; overdue or missed time standards, and going beyond set financial plans. With the interpretation of day to day basis risk assessments into team developed projects, there is a more realistic set of guidelines, and procedures put into place. The definition of a risk assessment states , “ that it is the identification, evaluation, and estimation of the main levels of risks involved in a situation, their comparison against benchmarks or standards, and determination of an acceptable level of risk”. With set risk assessment techniques, the team may further eradicate all possible liabilities or future occurrences within the project team. The essential of having a successful project management team is very important. Having strategic risk management techniques is essential. When planning a project team, it is sometimes strongly...

...Study 3: Risk Management on a Satellite Development Project Machelle L. Green Prof. N. Lattus Human Resource Project Management August 22, 2013 Importance of Having a Risk Plan Risk management involves performing SWOT analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats relating to details of project planning, financing, construction, operation and transfer (Duff, 2013). The Satellite Development Project developed a risk plan early in the beginning of their project phase. They focused on four core unknowns such as cost, time, scope and resources. If the Development Project had not developed a risk plan that focused closely on avoiding issues with the four core unknowns, there are many risks that could have occur and delayed the project. The first risk involves whether the project has been properly planned, adequately priced and funded (Duff 2013). The cost of a project is an issue that definitely would have developed without the team being preparing for the risk. The cost of carrying out a project is largely dependent on the funding made available to secure the project. The idea of reducing the cost of funding for the project makes the stakeholders happy as well as all involved as it contributes to the success of the project. Time is as important as the plan itself. The Satellite Development Project had a tight time line for production. Often time lines are needed to give each development a chance to produce the final product without...

...PROJECT- TEAM DEVELOPMENT A Team is a group of people who work together and are collectively responsible and accountable for a defined task/s. Teams normally have members with complementary skills which, when appropriately harnessed, allow each team member to maximise their strengths and minimise their weaknesses, thus generating synergy through a co ordinate effort. As the new team member and leader at the jewellers firm my first task would be discovering the already established team roles an dynamics and determining where I can fit into it all as well as what and whose roles may need to be altered. For teams to work well together they need to have; high levels of trust between members, they need to work together to achieve greater results than any individual, have string shared leadership within the group, demonstrate support for other team members and individuals within the organisation, and regularly monitor, evaluate and review performance as an aid to improvement. These skills will need to be introduced to the team at an early stage so team dynamics can be established. It is clear that the senior management has noticed the team struggling with their day to day tasks and communication is strained. In order for the team to move forward and progress team development will need to occur. In this stage the team will go through 4 development stages; Forming- Teams are undeveloped and need to create an identity. Storming- As members come to know each other they question and...

...motivation, Need for a proper feedback mechanism to improve efficiency (Incentives, engagement programmes/get together for employees their families etc.) Continuous Improvement process 1. Set Expectations- The trainers need to well-aware of the expectations of the students, viz fluency, comprehensibility, and relevance. The rigorous training, teaching aids, and their own motivation would enable them to meet it. Targets can be set, like achieving 10% more satisfaction levels from students etc. 2. Measuring for performance- The student feedback will enable CIGI, and the trainer to find what is to be improved, and work on the ‘how’ aspect of it. Continuous feedback and proactively exploring for it will help the trainer in his own development. A sample feedback has been shown below, which will be evolved as more measurement aspect come-up, and this also would be adapted for different training module according to their needs and method.

...Product Development Project Leader Steve Hill LDR/300 March 3, 2015 Nick Bertoni Product Development Project Leader I would like to take the time to say thank you for offering me this position and ensure you I will exceed your expectations. I would like to address some concerns and how I feel they can be better formulated to increase profitability. I understand the revenue on the standard products have been lower than expected for the past three years. I would like to discuss how we could maneuver our strengths and efforts to profit in the future. The standard products are what has made this company what it is today and is recognized throughout society for it. We just have to minimize the overhead to allow for profit to still take place for a product that is still needed throughout the industry. We also have to understand that with growth comes change that we have to stay on top of. I will take it upon myself to ensure the objectives I would like to discuss are directed by me but implemented and policed by my fellow managers. The first objective is to stop the storing of inventory of products that are not moving as fast as we would like. We will have the inventory on hand but at the cost of the supplier. We will encourage the suppliers to allow their stock to be on our shelves and bare the cost until the product is used for production. We will encourage the suppliers to allow this transaction and by doing so we will stock two percent more for them to use our facility...

...Staff Development Project Summary In today’s environment of exponential advancements in knowledge and technology, a concept known as the learning organization (LO) is becoming increasingly important to health care institutions (Marquis & Huston, 2012). The LO philosophy embraces the importance of learning as a continuous process and emphasizes that in order for hospitals to adapt to changes in the environment and be successful, they must create staff development programs. Nurse educators are the primary hospital resource for generating such educational programs. This summary will describe the steps to follow when planning an effective staff development program, which include assessing learning needs, selecting a learning theory, developing learning objectives, presenting learning content, and evaluating learning. Assessment of Learning Needs In order for the teaching-learning process to be effective, an assessment of learning needs must first occur (Kearney-Nunnery, 2012, pp. 162-176). Performing an analysis of learning needs will identify knowledge gaps and skill deficits and enable the educator to select the most relevant topics when creating staff development programs. Research has shown that questionnaires are a reliable method to collect this type of information (Doughty, 2012). To analyze and determine learning needs of nurses in the intensive care unit where I work, a questionnaire composed of two parts was used. The first part consisted of five questions...

...Final Project 1. Biological and Environmental – Fertility: Three specific procedures that can help to increase the chances of fertility or help families who cannot conceive are, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Donor Eggs and Surrogacy. For each of these procedures, the couples should first seek an OB/GYN to assist them in gaging their fertility capabilities. From that point on, the Doctor will then refer them to an Embryologist or Specialist in that particular area or process. It is also good to receive feedback or suggestions from friends or family who have personally gone through the procedure. If couples have difficulty finding a good recommendation, this website provided below will help them to further this process. http://www.ihr.com/infertility/ivf/how-to-select-infertility-ivf-clinic.html 2. Prenatal Development, Birth and Newborns- Institutions: Three specific institutions that I will discuss are, Graham’s Foundation, Little Big Souls and the European Foundation for the care of newborn infants (EFCNI). All three of these organizations help to support parents and physicians of premature babies. There resource websites are as follows: * http://grahamsfoundation.org/ * http://www.littlebigsouls.com/ * http://www.efcni.org/ 3.
