This is the third webcast in a four-part series in which we discuss the concepts of demand management in Microsoft Project Server 2010. In this webcast, we outline the framework for the project/program phases of plan, manage, and close, and we explain how to integrate information paths and strategic objectives within the Demand Management feature in Project Server 2010. Topics we cover include: defining project structure of phases, identifying milestones and dependencies, development of resource management policies, monitoring actual values in comparison with planned values and forecasts, integrated change control processes, status reporting, issue/risk management progress, obtaining appropriate sign-offs, and completion and archiving of project documents forming organization assets.

2) Summarize why a project charter is critical to project management success.
PART 2: PROJECT CHARTER LITERATURE REVIEW
1.) Define Project Charter (per PMBOK 6th Edition and course text book).
2.) List the various elements of a project charter and why each is used (i.e. title, scope overview, business case, background, etc.).
3.) Explain in-depth the following key components of the project charter: project vision, objectives, scope, project risk planning, assumptions, constraints and organization and implementation plan.
PART 3: CONCLUSION:
1.) What critical take-aways in the development process of a project charter would you incorporate into the role of a Project Manager?

Therefore, seven (7) to ten (10) scholarly or professional journal articles should be utilized for this section. Other sources (websites, blogs, dictionaries, etc.) may be used in support but do not count toward this total. Also, the sources need to be current research which means contemporary sources (no more than ten years old).
3) Paper must be typed, double-spaced, 12-point font, 10-12 pages. (Page count does not include title page or reference pages)

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE EXERCISE
Instructions: Copy and paste your Business Case from Week 2 assignment. Analyze the selected project to determine which organizational structure/culture (Section 4-2a on page 110) would be the ideal or preferred organizational structure for this project. Discuss why you selected this structure and justify that choice. Then, discuss which structure is the least preferred and explain/justify why this would not be a preferred organizational structure for your selected project. Provide specific examples, elements or components from the project to explain your justification. Each of the justification sections should be a minimum of 300 words.

This is the third webcast in a four-part series in which we discuss the concepts of demand management in Microsoft Project Server 2010. In this webcast, we outline the framework for the project/program phases of plan, manage, and close, and we explain how to integrate information paths and strategic objectives within the Demand Management feature in Project Server 2010. Topics we cover include: defining project structure of phases, identifying milestones and dependencies, development of resource management policies, monitoring actual values in comparison with planned values and forecasts, integrated change control processes, status reporting, issue/risk management progress, obtaining appropriate sign-offs, and completion and archiving of project documents forming organization assets.

PART 1: INTRODUCTION
1) Open the essay with an introduction section describing a project charter.
2) Summarize why a project charter is critical to project management success.
PART 2: PROJECT CHARTER LITERATURE REVIEW
1.) Define Project Charter (per PMBOK 6th Edition and course text book).
2.) List the various elements of a project charter and why each is used (i.e. title, scope overview, business case, background, etc.).
3.) Explain in-depth the following key components of the project charter: project vision, objectives, scope, project risk planning, assumptions, constraints and organization and implementation plan.
PART 3: CONCLUSION:
1.) What critical take-aways in the development process of a project charter would you incorporate into the role of a Project Manager?
2.) Highlight specific components of the project charter that may be most critical to the overall success of the entire project plan.

Therefore, seven (7) to ten (10) scholarly or professional journal articles should be utilized for this section. Other sources (websites, blogs, dictionaries, etc.) may be used in support but do not count toward this total. Also, the sources need to be current research which means contemporary sources (no more than ten years old).
3) Paper must be typed, double-spaced, 12-point font, 10-12 pages. (Page count does not include title page or reference pages)
4) Properly cite all sources referenced and include a reference section.

You have been assigned a reading by WMF Petrie; Diospolis Parva (.docxmaxinesmith73660
You have been assigned a reading by WMF Petrie; Diospolis Parva (posted as a pdf folder).
You needn’t read the whole volume; I would like you to concentrate on pp.(4-12) which outlines Petrie’s method.
Further information about Petrie’s method can be found in Bard in box 5-A, pp. 100-102.
For this discussion, answer the following questions;
1. Why does Petrie invent sequence dating? What kinds of artifacts does Petrie use to construct his relative sequence?
2. Why is the following statement important for “anchoring” Petrie’s method in time?
“The most clear series of derived forms is that of the wavy handled vases (Class W)…side by side with this (Class) W pottery… we have seen to be later than the rest, as it links to the historic age… lettered L,” (Petrie 1901:5).
3. Why do you think Petrie’s method reflects the passage of time?
Your answer should be 3-4 paragraphs.
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world’s books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the filesWe designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated queryingDo not send automated queries of any sort to Google’s system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attributionThe Google “watermark” you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legalWhatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do n.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
