PJM6125 Project Evaluation:
Stakeholder Analysis & Evaluation Goal Matrix
Overview and Rationale
For this assignment, you will establish some evaluation goals for your project based on the
method and lens covered in this week’s lecture.
Program and Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course
syllabus:
LO1: Identify and analyze stakeholders associated with performance evaluation.
LO2: Design an evaluation goals matrix incorporating the differences between impact, efficiency,
and effectiveness
LO6: Compare change management procedures needed to respond to the results of both tactical
and non-tactical performance evaluation
L07: Plan and conduct a tactical evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative measures
Essential Components & Instructions
This assignment is completed in two parts. First, using your chosen project that you
submitted as part of Lesson 1, complete the following items:
Stakeholder Register / Analysis:
Create a stakeholder register / analysis that includes the following minimum
columns:
o Stakeholder
o Stakeholder Position / Role
o Type of Stakeholder (internal or external)
o Stakeholder expectation (high level needs or expectations of project)
o Stakeholder interest (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder influence level (high / medium / low)
o Stakeholder view of project (supportive / neutral / opposed)
o Stakeholder Management strategy (approach to engaging stakeholder to
support success of project)
Once you create the register, create entries for a minimum of 12 - 15 project
stakeholders, performing a full analysis for each of them.
Part 2: Evaluation Goals Matrix:
After completing the stakeholder register, you will create an evaluation goals matrix, as
illustrated in Lesson 2, with an additional column entitled stakeholder. Once you have
designed the evaluation goal matrix, you will need to list at least four evaluation goals for
each category: efficiency, effectiveness, and impact, which will result in a total of 12 metrics
/ goals.
You will be assess on the clarity of the metrics, the concreteness of the measures (Example:
increased performance by 12 percent (concrete) vs. increase performance (not concrete, as
no specific measurement of increase)), and how well the metric will measure the success of
project relative to the overview of the project you provided as a case study.
Format
Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow in all three elements of
this assignment. Think of this short list as a quality control checklist, along with the
attached grading rubric.
Part 1 and Part 2 (stakeholder analysis and evaluation matrix) should be submitted
as a single file (MsWord or .pdf)
You should include a cover page
You should include a brief summary of your chosen project.
You should format the documents professionally
The tables should be readable.
Case Study Continued – Week Five You have been perform.docxdrennanmicah
Case Study Continued – Week Five
You have been performing in the role of project manager in support of Ms. Jackson’s vision of creating a
strong and talented project management professional team leading to stronger project execution. Ms.
Jackson has just called you into her office with a few updates:
• ACME has been revisiting their strategy and decided that product development will become a
heavy focus for the organization over the next three years. Due to this product development
focus, she wants to also implement an Agile training program which will specifically focus on
Scrum techniques. Ms. Jackson has asked for you to add it to the scope of the current training
program which was approved when you submitted the business case. She is not familiar with
change management principles so you will have to create a change form and high level change
process that the team will follow. Ms. Jackson is willing to give you an additional $15,000 in
budget but would like this completed in the same timeframe as the initial project request. The
$15,000 is her budget but may not be based upon what the actual costs may be. According to
your research, adding Agile may cost an additional $20,000 and have to be done subsequent to
the initial training program which has already been scheduled.
• In addition, upon a recent review of your risk register with your team, a risk that was identified
as high impact is seemingly turning into an issue. This risk was related to the potential turnover
in training personnel. You have just learned that your top trainer may be leaving the project for
a new opportunity.
• The current forecast of the project indicates that your cost estimate may have been too low.
Current projections indicate that beginning in month five of the project, you may be exceeding
your budget by $10,000 per month.
• Other key indicators:
• Your actual month end scheduling data shows that you are currently performing
according to plan and all tasks are being completed on time.
• Your last staffing report shows very little project team attrition or turnover.
• Early surveys from participants in the training show a high degree of satisfaction.
Changes such as these are not uncommon in the project management profession. Determining
whether the request constitutes a change in scope, schedule, and budget is an integral component of
project management.
Using your business case, project charter and stakeholder analysis, determine how this new
information will impact your project. What type of change process will you be recommended be
implemented?
Assignment Overview:
For this assignment, you will be assessing a proposed change to the scope of the project, proposing an overview of a change management process, drafting a change request form, and discussing how the change will be communicated to the stakeholders inclusive of the sponsor.

Continuous Improvement?
Why are we wanting to improve?
Where are we now?
What are we working with?
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.
Cheshire Cat
(Alice in Wonderland)
There are a number of things to consider when deciding what level of maturity to aim for.
Why are you wanting to increase your level of maturity in this space?
-Some might be wanting to do it simply as a continuous improvement strategy.
Some may be having issues with the performance of their program and project delivery or portfolio investment returns
Others may need it to be competitive in a market that looks at the P3M3 levels of organisations in the tendering process
Others may be required to undergo a mandatory audit – as did the Qld Govt in 2012.
One organisation that I have spoken with has noted that their environment has become increasingly fiscally constrained and as such funding is much more competitive. They want to increase certain sections of their maturity, specifically relating to benefits management, business case and blueprint development – so that they can be more competitive in seeking funding for initiatives. So in this case they are not necessarily trying to improve their maturity as a whole, but an aspect of it. In doing this however, it is likely that they will have an increase in maturity in other areas as well.
We need to know where you are now to assist in deciding where you want to go. This is where going through an assessment is essential and I do believe in this being independent. You can self assess but this will always be impacted with bias. You need to baseline.
What are you working with? What is your organisational context? What resources do you have both budget and people? Do you have authentic sponsorship or are your leaders just ticking a mandate off? What’s your organisational culture like, are they open to P3 management or are they likely to see effort to increase maturity as unnecessary overhead?
So when we went through this process we were fortunate to have an authentic sponsor, we had a culture of project and program delivery so the staff understood the value of the practice (and I do say practice rather than methodology – as if you have experienced practitioners, they will argue methodology with you – this is a good thing!). We.

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

2Interdisciplinary Plan ProposalWrite a brief introductio.docxstandfordabbot
2
Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal
Write a brief introduction (2 to 3 sentences) to your proposal that outlines the issue you are attempting to solve, the part of the organization in which the plan would be carried out, and the desired outcome. This will set the stage for the sections below.Objective
Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or patient outcomes. For example:
Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project managers with the goal of reducing the number of new products that fail to launch. This objective is aligned to the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient taking products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste.Questions and Predictions
For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Make a prediction for each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.
For example:
1.
How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s workload?
a. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that percentage will decrease.Change Theories and Leadership Strategies
For this section, you may wish to draw upon the research you did regarding change theories and leadership for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. The focus of this section is how those best practices will create buy-in for the project from an interdisciplinary team, improve their collaboration, and/or foster the team’s ability to implement the plan. Be sure that you are including at least one change theory and at least one leadership strategy in your explanation. Always remember to cite your sources; direct quotes require quotation marks and a page or paragraph number to be included in the citation.
Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:
· What is the theory or strategy?
· How will it likely help an interdisciplinary team to collaborate, implement, and/or buy in to the project plan?
· Make sure to frame this explanation within the organizational context of the proposed plan, that is, your interviewee’s organization.Team Collaboration Strategy
In this section, begin by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy to defining this is to take a “
who,
what,
where, and
when” approach for each team member.
For example:
·
Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for .

Executive Summary
An executive summary is a brief section at the beginning of a long report, article, recommendation, or proposal that summarizes the document.
It is not background and not an introduction.
People who read only the executive summary should get the essence of the document without fine details.
The executive summary is concise, typically one to two pages long, and presents the main points in a formal tone.
For example, a business plan for an external audience includes financial information and details on the size and scale of a company.
Startups seeking funding and investors treat the executive summary as a way to get the reader’s attention by highlighting specific financial requirements and how it impacts the business strategy.
Summarize the information you’re presenting in a manner that keeps the reader engaged and motivated to continue reading.
Introduction
Introduction:
The opening statement, paragraph, or section should clearly state the document’s purpose and the content to follow.
Deciding on how to use this section comes down to the desired outcome for the reader or audience.
They want to immediately find value in the information you present, so the details included in the introduction should grab and hold the reader’s attention.
Company Information
Company Information:
When writing an executive summary for an external audience, include your company name, a description of your mission or purpose, contact information, location, and the size and scale of your operations.
In some cases, the summary introduces the founders, investors, and corporate leadership.
It might include background information of each that outlines previous industry or startup experience, or historical context on the current state of the company.
When used in a presentation or research report, introduce the team presenting or responsible for the report’s findings.
Products and Services
Products and Services:
The executive summary is the place to highlight the problem you solve or the need you fulfill.
For a report, this is where you might highlight what you researched and what the reader should know about your findings.
For marketing plans or product launch presentations, tell the reader why your service or product is relevant at this particular moment in time.
Market Analysis
Market Analysis:
The executive summary of a business plan might profile the target customer and explain the market opportunity for a product or service.
Consider answering questions like: Is there a five year plan for this market?
How do you anticipate growing the customer base and improving market share?
What stands out from your research about your customers that the reader should know before you summarize the rest of the business?
Competition Analysis
Competition Analysis:
This section should include answers to the following questions:

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docxfelicitytaft14745
Assignment 1: Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 105 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Demonstrate an understanding of the integration of enterprise systems with inter-organizational partners.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in enterprise architecture.
· Write clearly and concisely about enterprise architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

Any time you have three or more people involved, there is politics. Effective leaders understand this and work with the political nature of people to bring out the best in them. Project managers often complain about politics, but wishing them to go away does not get the project done. Don Ortner guides people through some effective ways to work with politics in organizations to accomplish great things.

What is project management and what does it involve?
What is project management and what does it involve?
Most firms day to day operations serve customers through a network of inter connecting business processes, as business volumes change, the loading on these processes can increase or decrease (Nokes et. al. 2003) and there is often a need for some adaption in each process.
There may be a cumulative effect of many adaptions just to change of one of the processes, and as markets are subject to rapid change firms cannot afford to wait for gradual adaptions to take effect, therefore projects are required to provide a structure for making changes at a faster rate.
Nokes et al suggests that “ as markets increase and product cycles shorten the importance of projects will increase”. Projects are required to replace old and inefficient ways of doing things to methods better suited to modern market conditions.
Projects and the management of projects may be needed to tackle new problems.
Benefit of using case studies
In the aftermath of a series of acquisitions and mergers, a large financial services firm found itself attempting to operate with nearly seven hundred job titles for many similar positions due to the continued use of multiple legacy HR systems. The organization wanted to develop and implement a common set of job families and titles that could be used across the entire organization. Realizing the complexity of the task as well as a lack of internal expertise, they decided to seek external resources to carry out the work (Kaplan & Norton, 1996).
In order to begin developing a general overview of the project’s scope and cost, it is often helpful to collect information about how others have approached the same issue. This can be done through informal benchmarking efforts, consulting with colleagues.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
