Estimate budget and project crashing.pptxMIANMNADEEM
The document discusses project budget estimation and project crashing. It provides an introduction to project budgeting, noting that senior management must approve the budget to obtain resources. It then discusses top-down and bottom-up budgeting approaches. Project crashing is defined as shortening a project's timeline, typically by adding more resources, and key stages in project crashing management are outlined, including establishing crash objectives, identifying critical paths, finding crash limits, and selecting economic options to present for approval. The importance of being able to crash projects in response to changing needs is also highlighted.
This module discusses various aspects of project planning and management, including tracking project progress, time tracking, risk management, and project evaluation. Effective project tracking through tasks, resources, meetings, and reporting allows project managers to monitor progress and address any issues. Time delays should be managed by offering help for initial delays, taking immediate action after a second delay, and considering replanning after a third delay. Project metrics can provide status, identify improvement areas, and demonstrate results. Regular risk monitoring ensures assumptions remain valid and risks are accurately assessed. Project closure activities include releasing resources, transition planning, and documentation.
The document summarizes the typical project life cycle process used by project managers. It consists of 5 phases: (1) initiating, (2) planning, (3) executing, (4) monitoring/controlling, and (5) closing. Each phase involves certain key activities and defines the stages a project goes through from start to finish. Following a structured life cycle framework helps ensure projects are completed on time and on budget.
The purpose of this article is to conceptualize and identify troubled projects and allow their evaluation and possible recovery, minimizing the impact of the negative effects in the event of a total failure. The word recovery, as used here, has a meaning that is different than usual. It does not mean leading the project to the intended success from the planning phase but to minimize total failure.

Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.
Summary:
In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient's wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team.

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

The document discusses the importance of physical security for computer and network security. It notes that physical access negates all other security measures, as an attacker can directly access systems if they have physical proximity. It outlines several ways an attacker could exploit physical access, such as using bootable media like LiveCDs to access tools and directly image hard drives. The document emphasizes that physical security is foundational and must be carefully designed and implemented to protect against unauthorized access to systems and data.

4. The triple constraint refers to the three attributes that must be
managed effectively for successful completion and closure of
any project:
Scope. The project scope is the definition of what the project is
supposed to accomplish—its outcomes or deliverables. Scope is
measured in terms of the project size, goals, and requirements.
Time. A project is made up of tasks. Each task has a start date
and an end date. The duration of a project extends from the start
date of the first task to the finish date of the last task. Time
needed to produce the deliverables is naturally related to the
scope and availability of resources allocated to the project.
Cost. This is the estimation of the amount of money that will be
required to complete the project. Cost itself encompasses
various things, such as resources, labor rates for contractors,
risk estimates, and bills of materials, et cetera. All aspects of
the project that have a monetary component are made part of the
overall cost structure. Projects are approved subject to their
costs.
These constraints are interrelated so they must be managed
together for the project to be completed on time, within budget,
and to specification.

seem inconsequential to the requestor. Scope creep is the piling

System Development Life Cycle
Project Management Concepts
System Development Life Cycle
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
The traditional system development method for large IT
projects, such as IT infrastructure or an enterprise system.
A structured framework that consists of a sequential set of
processes.
Highly susceptible to scope creep through:
Additional feature requests
Unnecessary stakeholders
Technological change/improvement
19. 1. The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is the traditional
systems development method for large IT projects, such as IT
infrastructure or an enterprise system. The SDLC is a structured
framework that consists of a sequential set of processes.
Starting with an initial idea, the SDLC processes are
requirements analysis, systems analysis and design,
development and testing, implementation, and maintenance.
Each process consists of well-defined tasks that depend on the
scope of the project. The processes are iterative, which means
that they are revised when new information or conditions make
a revision the smart thing to do. Iteration does not mean that
system development should be subject to infinite revisions or
scope creep.
2. IS design is highly susceptible to scope creep for many
reasons. Intended users ask for additional features. People who
were not intended users ask to be included. Technology changed
from the time the business case was written and system
development began. The actions of a competitor, supplier, or
regulatory agency triggered additional requests for
functionality.
3. Because scope creep is expensive, project managers impose
controls on changes requested by users. These controls help to
prevent runaway projects.
4. The feasibility study determines the probability of success of
the proposed project and provides a rough assessment of the
project‘s technical, economic, organizational, and behavioral
feasibility. The feasibility study is critically important to the
systems development process because, done properly, the study
can prevent organizations from making expensive mistakes,
such as creating systems that will not work, that will not work
efficiently, or that people cannot or will not use. The Census
20. Bureau case in IT at Work 13.1 is an example. The various
feasibility analyses also give the stakeholders an opportunity to
decide what metrics to use to measure how a proposed system
meets their objectives.
Technical Feasibility. Technical feasibility determines if the
required technology, IT infrastructure, data structures,
analytics, and resources can be developed and/or acquired to
solve the business problem. Technical feasibility also
determines if the organization‘s existing technology can be used
to achieve the project’s performance objectives.
Economic Feasibility. Economic feasibility determines if the
project is an acceptable financial risk and if the company can
afford the expense and time needed to complete the project.
Economic feasibility addresses two primary questions: Do the
benefits outweigh the costs of the project? Can the project be
completed as scheduled?
Management can assess economic feasibility by using cost–
benefit analysis and financial techniques such as time value of
money, return on investment (ROI), net present value (NPV),
and breakeven analysis. Return on investment is the ratio of the
net income attributable to a project divided by the average cost
of resources invested in the project. NPV is the net amount by
which project benefits exceed project costs, after allowing for
the cost of capital and the time value of money. Breakeven
analysis calculates the point at which the cumulative cash flow
from a project equals the investment made in the project.
Calculating economic feasibility in IT projects is rarely
straightforward. Part of the difficulty is that some benefits are
intangible. For a proposed system that involves big data, real
time analytics, or 3D printing, there may be no previous
evidence of what sort of financial payback can be expected.
Legal and organizational feasibility. Are there legal, regulatory,
or environmental reasons why the project cannot or should not
be implemented? This analysis looks at the company’s policies
and politics, including impacts on power distribution and
business relationships.
21. Behavioral feasibility. Behavioral feasibility considers human
issues. All system development projects introduce change, and
people generally resist change. Overt resistance from employees
may take the form of sabotaging the new system (e.g., entering
data incorrectly) or deriding the new system to anyone who will
listen. Covert resistance typically occurs when employees
simply do their jobs using their old methods.
Behavioral feasibility is concerned with assessing the skills and
the training needed to use the new IS. In some organizations, a
proposed system may require mathematical or linguistic skills
beyond what the workforce currently possesses. In others, a
workforce may simply need to improve their skills. Behavioral
feasibility is as much about “can they use it” as it is about “will
they use it.”
After the feasibility analysis, a “Go/No-Go” decision is
reached. The project sponsor and project manager sign off on
the decision. If it is a no-go decision, the project is put on the
shelf until conditions are more favorable, or the project is
discarded. If the decision is “go,” then the system development
project proceeds.
5. Four conversion strategies are parallel, direct cut over, pilot,
and phased.
In a parallel conversion, the old system and the new system
operate simultaneously for a period of time. That is, both
systems process the same data at the same time, and the outputs
are compared. This type of conversion is the most expensive but
least risky.
In a direct conversion, the old system is cut off and the new
system is turned on at a certain point in time. This type of
conversion is the least expensive, but it is the most risky if the
new system does not work as planned.
A pilot conversion introduces the new system in one location to
22. test it out. After the new system works properly, it is rolled out.
A phased conversion introduces components of the new system,
such as individual modules, in stages. Each module is assessed,
and, when it works properly, other modules are introduced until
the entire new system is operational.
