...DELIVERY OF COMPUTING PROJECTS INTRODUCTION: A project can be defined as a process of creating a new product or service. It has a beginning and an end as stated by (Project Management Institute 2008). The outcome of a project is said to be tangible or intangible, even though it may present some project deliverable and activities, this will not change the unique characteristic of a project. However, the most essential part of a project are the relations stuck between the planning variables and their influences on project success. Most time managers advocate that project is successful if it meet the important target, namely, appropriate specification, cost, time and quality. This has significant benefits to organizations. However, Proper analysis will be done on how Waterfall and Agile Project Management carried out various projects successfully, and how the most recent computing projects turned out. WATERFALL PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH This is a traditional approach, the waterfall model is a systems development life cycle model for software engineering (Project Management Institute 2008). Often considered the classic approach to the systems development life cycle, the waterfall model describes a development method that is linear and sequential. Waterfall development has distinct goals for each phase of development. The Waterfall approach suggests that the assessment of risks should be carried out at the beginning of the project. To carry out risk management in waterfall, it...

... Chapter 2 Who Commits Fraud and Why I, Dennis Greer, am making this statement on my own, without threat or promises, as to my activities in regard to the activity of kiting between Bank A and Bank B. As of May 19XX, I was having extreme emotional and financial difficulties. For religious reasons, I was required without notice to move out of where I was living, and I had no place to go. Also, my grandmother—the only family member I was close to—was dying. I had to live out of my car for 3 1/2 weeks. At the end of this time, my grandmother died. She lived in Ohio. I went to the funeral and I returned with a $1,000 inheritance. I used this money to secure an apartment. The entire sum was used up for the first month’s rent, deposit, and the application fee. From that time, mid-June, until the first part of August, I was supporting myself on my minimum-wage job at the nursery. I had no furniture or a bed. I was barely making it. I was feeling very distraught over the loss of my grandmother and problems my parents and brother were having. I felt all alone. The first part of August arrived and my rent was due. I did not have the full amount to pay it. This same week, I opened a checking account at Bank B. I intended to close my Bank A account because of a lack of ATMs, branches, and misunderstanding. As I said, my rent was due and I did not know how to meet it. On an impulse, I wrote the apartment manager a check for the amount due. I did not...

...APPLICATION OF VALUE STREAM MAPPING AS A METHOD TO REDUCE CYCLE TIME TO SUPPORT LEAN MANUFACTURING SYSTEM AHMAD NUR AIZAT BIN AHMAD A project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the degree of Master of Engineering (Manufacturing) Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia APRIL 2011 V ABSTRACT In the manufacturing industry, lean manufacturing becomes popular as a beneficial way in the pursuit of better system efficiencies. The purposes of this study were to identify waste using lean manufacturing technique, determine causes to the waste through the value stream mapping method and to propose solution to improve workplace environment. Asian Composite Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. (ACM) has been chosen as the company to conduct case study for this research. ACM is a joint venture company based in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah, Malaysia owned equally by The Boeing Company and Hexcel Corporation. The business of the joint venture is the manufacturer of flat and contoured primary (Aileron skins, spoilers and spars) and secondary ( flat panels, leading edge, trailing edge and MISC component) structure composite bond assemblies and sub-assemblies for aerospace industries. There are some waste activities identified during observation including unnecessary transportation, excessive motions, inventories and waiting.

For University Use Only May be reproduced ONLY for student use at the university level When used in conjunction with Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach. Any other reproduction or use is expressly prohibited. Chapter 1 The Product CHAPTER OVERVIEW AND COMMENTS The goal of this chapter is to introduce the notion of software as a product designed and built by software engineers. Software is important because it is used by a great many people in society. Software engineers have a moral and ethical responsibility to ensure that the software they design does no serious harm to any people. Software engineers tend to be concerned with the technical elegance of their software products. Customers tend to be concerned only with whether or not a software product meets their needs and is easy to use. 1.1 The Evolving Role of Software The main point of this section is that the primary purpose of software is that of information transformer. Software is used to produce, manage, acquire, modify, display, and transmit information anywhere in the world. The days of the lone programmer are gone. Modern software is developed by teams of software specialists. Yet, the software developer's concerns have remained the same. Why does software take so long to complete? Why does it cost so much to produce? Why can't all errors be found and removed...

...Gaming has come a long way along the years. Right from the beginning when 8bit was cool and colorful games meant everything to the present where consumers seek better graphics, 3Dimensional gameplay and online gaming. The market for Video Game consoles has now become very wide, but at the same time Sony and Microsoft remaining the two main players of the market. So we could say the market runs on a duopoly system. Sony and Microsoft, the cutthroat competitors in this field have brought video-games to this level. They’ve always been competitors and went head to head with their products and upgrades to those products. For each new release by Sony, Microsoft had a close competing machine coming up, and vice versa. Through this project I’ve tried to do a comparative study and research on the two Operating Systems and the console Systems in a detailed manner. This analytic study covers a comparative study of the competing models by the two Gaming Leaders with respect to their technology, networks, marketing strategy, competing strategy, pricing and surveys from their users.
