Individual Project Part 3: Project Evaluation, Lessons Learned, and Synthesis of Insights Gained
Though project managers often gain a great deal of experiential knowledge through the project management process, project evaluation offers them a chance to formalize the lessons they have learned. Part 3 of the Individual Project focuses on issues related to evaluating the success of a project and the debriefing process for capturing lessons learned. If conducting an interview, your interviewee must be able to speak to these topics. Alternatively, you may examine a minimum of three organizations that have published descriptions about the evaluation and debriefing process of a health care information technology project.
Interview
To prepare:
Review the Individual Project Overview document linked in this week’s Learning Resources for additional information on this project. Pay particular attention to the questions you should ask in your interview.
Locate a professional who manages or works on special projects in health care and is willing to speak about his or her experience.
If such a person is not readily available to you, find someone in your community who has managed a project for an organization. The organization can be a volunteer service group, a faith-based group, a business, or another that meets your needs. The goal is to find an individual who has been in charge of a project important to the organization.
Review the topics and questions below that should be addressed in your interview.
Think about other related questions you might have for your interviewee and solidify your goals for speaking to and learning from this person.
Topics and Questions:
As in the other interviews, you will need to adapt your questions to the individual,
setting, and projects. You are not required to ask these
specific
questions, but you are
required to address the topics listed below (Note: If the interviewee cannot address a
topic, conduct a literature search to find scholarly information or research on that topic).
Evaluation
·
What tools or strategies do you use to evaluate the success of a project?
·
Can you give an example of a project that failed (or was not successful)?
Lessons Learned
·
Describe the project outcomes
o
What were some successful outcomes of the project? Were the project
goals met?
o
How do you conduct a debriefing of the project with the project team?
o
What happens to the information gained from the debriefing?
o
How do the project team and the organization support project debriefing?
·
Companies have historically looked at technical skills, but more and more
business managers are realizing that the absence of good "people" skills tends to
cripple projects. What are three critically important things a project manager (or
project team member) must do well to help a project succeed?
Please add questions of your own, including asking for advice for the future from your
interviewee.

Leading and Managing the HR Project
Strategic planning for this project will require the team to create a long-term vision for the organization to have a centralized model of delivering HR services. The five steps of strategic planning for the current project include project charter, identify and meet stakeholders, identify risks, performing qualitative risk analysis, and planning risk response. The project charter is the first step that defines the roles and duties of the project team. It also gets used to highlight the vision and goals of the project and how the group intends to achieve the goals.
The second step involves identifying and meeting the stakeholders, and these are the people who have an interest in the project, including the sponsors, project team members, employees, customers, and project managers. The current stakeholders for the project include project team members, project manager, the leadership of the organization, and employees. Identification of risks is the third step where the project manager will try and identify possible project risks and document sources of the dangers, the category of the risk, and responses. Risks may include a lack of support from the management, stakeholders having a negative attitude towards the project, and changes in management.
The fourth step will require the project team to perform a qualitative risk analysis, which is the procedure of ranking risks for additional analysis or assessing their impact on the project. Planning risk response involves initiating a plan that will mitigate the risks to the project objective. Also, this means identifying the ranked risks and allocating resources and activities to minimize the risks.
A project vision gets used to giving the project team a reason for contributing to the project. It gets used to explain the aim of the project, unite the team members, erase confusion, and act as an inspiration to the team. A vision and vision statement are isolated but linked concepts. The vision statement is more of a linguistic presentation of the vision. The vision statement for this project is “To establish a centralized model of delivering HR services that will improve service delivery." The mission statement for the project should be "To implement a cost-effective centralized model of delivering HR services that will be able to improve employer-employee relations and best delivery of HR services."
The project charter is a declaration of scope, objectives, and the people who will be partaking the project. The project charter defines the roles and duties of the project team and also outlines the project goals and objectives. The purpose of the project manager is also limited, and the various stakeholders involved get identified. The charter document will be used as a reference document throughout the project and should summarize points like; the goals and objectiv ...

impact of the program, process evaluation verifies what the
program is and whether it is being implemented as designed. Thus,
process evaluation asks "what," and outcome evaluation asks, "so
what?"
When conducting a process evaluation, keep in mind these three
questions:
1. What is the program intended to be?
2. What is delivered, in reality?
3. Where are the gaps between program design and delivery?
This workbook will serve as a guide for designing your own process
evaluation for a program of your choosing. There are many steps involved
in the implementation of a process evaluation, and this workbook will
attempt to direct you through some of the main stages. It will be helpful to
think of a delivery service program that you can use as your example as
you complete these activities.
Why is process evaluation important?
1. To determine the extent to which the program is being
implemented according to plan
2. To assess and document the degree of fidelity and variability in
program implementation, expected or unexpected, planned or
unplanned
3. To compare multiple sites with respect to fidelity
4. To provide validity for the relationship between the intervention
and the outcomes
5. To provide information on what components of the intervention
are responsible for outcomes
6. To understand the relationship between program context (i.e.,
setting characteristics) and program processes (i.e., levels of
implementation).

Your HR project to develop a centralized model of deliveri.docxdanhaley45372
Your HR project to develop a centralized model of delivering HR services has progressed through very critical stages of the project thus far. It is now time to present actionable, decision-making information to project leaders. This can be best accomplished when projects have been successfully managed, devoid of any major risks, and have been properly closed out and finalized.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1. Explain what it means to successfully direct and manage project work and identify and discuss 3-4 strategies you might use to manage and sustain progress in your HR project. Be specific.
2. Identify and discuss a minimum of 3 strategies that could be used to address and resolve any risks within the control of the project. HINT: See Exhibit 14.5 in the textbook. Is any one of the strategies you selected more important than the others? Why?
Exhibit 14.5
RISK EVENT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES RISKS WITHIN PROJECT CONTROL
Understand and control WBS
Closely monitor and control activity progress
Closely manage all project changes
Document all change requests
Increase overtime to stay on schedule
Isolate problems and reschedule other activities
Research challenging issues early
RISKS PARTIALLY WITHIN PROJECT CONTROL
Establish limits to customer expectations
Build relationships by understanding project from client’s perspective
Use honesty in managing client expectations
Work with client to reprioritize cost, schedule, scope, and/or quality
Carefully escalate problems
Build team commitment and enthusiasm
RISKS OUTSIDE PROJECT CONTROL
Understand project context and environment
Actively monitor project environment
Understand willingness or reluctance of stakeholders to agree to changes
3. Describe 2-3 actions a project manager may take as they begin to close out the project. Be sure to justify using the actions you discuss.
4. Review Project Management in Action: The Power of Lessons Learned (pages 518-520 in the textbook) and provide an overview to the project team on the significance of the information. Be specific.
Pg 518-520 from book
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ACTION The Power of Lessons Learned Projects are discrete. They have a beginning and an end, at which time the project team disbands and moves on to other things. Despite the fact there has inevitably been significant tacit learning during the project, there is often only a limited capture of this into a sharable form for future reuse. Too often, as the project team dissolves, the learning fades into the memories of individuals minds. This makes it extremely difficult for others to benefit in the future from the insights learned. The usual excuses for this loss echoing through the corridors include just too hard, not enough time, team disbanded before we had the chance, and many more. The key error here is the incorrect assumption that learning during or from projects is an added bonus or a nice- to-have luxury. This is not the case in best.

Introduction
Companies vary in the way in which they identify projects. The process of identifying a project can be performed by the top-level management, such as the Chief Executive Officer. A committee composed of the manager and other interested parties. The user department, senior information system manager, and the development group can decide on which project to submit. Each identification technique has its strengths as well as weaknesses. For instance, it protects that are identified by the top management have a strategic management focus. Projects that are identified by departments have a tactic focus.
Project cost, complexity, risk as well as duration influence the individuals who identify a project. Most of the project sources are identified by the steering committee as well as the top-level management. Most of the projects reflect on the broad needs of the organization. This group has a better understanding of the goals and objectives of the organization. Projects that are identified by the functional major, information system development group, and business unit are often designed for a particular business need. Moreover, it may not reflect the overall objective of the business. There are also not considered as broad organizational issues.
Projects that are identified by business units, development groups, and managers are known as bottom-up sources. It is essential to provide support to people who are carrying out this type of project. The top-level management should also be involved in the early life cycle of the project. Managers should be aware of the information needs and the reasons for carrying out the project. This description is essential, especially when selecting the project that will be approved to move into the project initiation and planning phase. Projects can be identified by both bottom-up and top and down. The procedure of identifying and selecting a project is different depending on the organization due to the limited resources.
It is essential to identify the advantage and disadvantages of the project. Project classifying, identification is ranking of the project can be performed by the top-level management, information system group, business unit, or the steering committee. The method that is used to access the merits of a particular project can vary based on the size of the company. In any given company, one or several methods can be used during the ranking or classification process. For instance, a company may use a committee, (Kaiser, et al., 2015). They can choose to meet every month or quarterly in order to discuss the progress of the project and areas that need to be improved. During the meeting, new project requests are reviewed related to the project that has already been identified. In addition, ongoing projects are also monitored.
In the project identification and selection, the final phase i ...
Discussion ThreeThis is one of the most important parts of this simisterchristen
Discussion Three
This is one of the most important parts of this course – I want you to work with your group to design a follow-up study using the topic Social Loafing. Your instructor will present the ideas to the whole class, and you will vote on which one you would like to do for your final class project. As you work on this discussion, try to think about what other variables might influence Loafing. Let me give you a few examples, though try to get creative with your group. Look at prior research and see if you can use some of their work as a follow-up to your study. Have fun with it!
Okay, consider some ideas I was thinking about for a follow-up study (Personally, I would recommend the third or fourth idea, as there is a lot of research you could draw on these new independent variables, which would make Paper III much easier to write). Keep in mind that we will drop one condition from our original Study One independent variable. I suggest keeping the Individual Total and Group Average conditions and dropping the Group Total condition. I have no solid reasoning behind this other than the Group Total and Group Average conditions probably will not differ much in study one, so including both is not necessary. I think keeping the Group Average condition will be easier to use with our new study design for some of the ideas below, but we could retain the Group Total if you have a good reason for doing so!
A fourth idea, and one I think is interesting, is to give participants an anchor. That is, we tell them how many math problems most people solve, with this number varying for the High Anchor condition (where we tell them most people solve 25 problems) and the Low Anchor condition (where we tell them most people solve 12 problems). Participants should attempt to solve more problems in the High Anchor condition than the Low Anchor condition, though participants with a High Anchor in the Individual Total condition should probably solve the most (with those in the Low Anchor and Group Average solving the least). The interesting part here is the High Anchor and Group Average condition. Since we look at the group score, loafing might occur, but the high anchor might disrupt their likelihood to loaf. In other words, this might be an interesting way to see if we can get rid of social loafing if we set a high anchor.
Finally, you can look at some participant characteristics if you like. You can measure the participants’ own ratings of how good they are or how much they enjoy math problems. Those who like math problems may be less likely to loaf (since loafing is less likely when people enjoy the activity). Or we could also look at participant gender. Research suggests that women are less likely to load than men. Would this same pattern hold in our study? Just remember that if you choose a participant characteristic as your second independent variable, you cannot draw cause-effect conclusions (since you cannot randomly assign someone to be good or bad a ...
Critique 1You have great reflection. I could not concur mo.docxfaithxdunce63732
Critique 1
You have great reflection. I could not concur more with you on the importance of involving students directly and indirectly in the learning procedure and how it will facilitate teachers to assess the learner performance in their developmental phases. You noted that the teacher should focus on developing the learners’ capacity to perceive and appreciate things from different learning perspectives. I do agree with you, but how can we do that? I would like to know your opinion on this point.
Regarding to the memorization strategy of learning, memorization is one of the most difficult way for me to deal with. I could not memorize a lot and I can spend a night to memorize one passage. Till today, I could not find a way that makes me able to memorize more. It is really important that teachers and instructors understand that memorization for some students, like me, is very hard and sometimes impossible to memorize.
Critique 2
Meaningful learning occurs when learners are ready, and the materials are appropriate to the learners. If we don' t have any information about the learners, the materials we prepare for the learners might be useless. So I think knowing the readiness of the leaners is very important, and all the learners have different needs, that's why teaching learning strategies is very important. Even the leaners have exposed different learning and cognitive environment, they can choose a strategy we teach , which helps them experience meaningful learning.
Critique 3
I really liked your reflection and the way you clearly stated your opinion. I noticed that you didn’t talk about both Bruner’s and Vygotsky’s theories mentioned by Driscoll (2005), in this week’s chapter. I would love to read more about your opinion regarding these two important theories by these two great figures and maybe compare them with the model of Collins and Stevens.
Critique 4
“The teacher involve students directly in the learning process because this will help them appreciate their weaknesses” I was wandering if the students involve in the learning process how they will appreciate their weakness? I think no one appreciate his\her weakness all of us could appreciate our hard work but not our weakness. What do you think? You said, “Learning should not be viewed as a class an in-class process alone rather a lifelong process that takes places everywhere” I believe that what we have learned in any educational place should we benefit from it to solve the problems outside of educational place. However, you mentioned, ”The process of meaningful learning is an outcome of interaction of the teaching process, and the way the learner is receiving and processing the information” but do you think also that culture and social play important role to produce meaningful learning process?

Quality Tool Analysis
The supply chain management sphere has an issue when considering a pharmacy facility organization. The problem with the pharmaceutical supply chain operations has resulted from all individuals lacking access to the most noteworthy quality medication and in addition keep up levels in medical care that occurs in the arrangement of supplying medicine, notwithstanding giving the improvement of new knowledge, aptitudes and systems that invigorate the advancement of medicine supply chain management. The quality tool used to recognize these issues is data collection sheet which gathers the essential information to have the capacity to answer any inquiries that may emerge. The quintessence of the data is that the reason for existing is apparent and that the data mirrors the fact of the matter, is anything but difficult to gather and utilize. A quantitative method was used to gather the data. The data collection sheet is being used in the dispersion of factors of the articles delivered, classification of broken things locating of the defects of the pieces, recognizing reasons for deformities and verification check or support undertakings (Awad, 2012).
To arrive at the problem, a questionnaire was utilized together with the data collection sheet. There was a clear framework on how data was to be gathered and with what sort of document will be made and how the gather data ought to be utilized. How the data will be analyzed was additionally sketched out, and the individual who ought to oversee gathering the data was distinguished. For the optimization of data accumulation, Sharp and McDermott (2009) suggest that the data collection be finished by an experienced auditor and in an arbitrary example of the exercises, of the general population and of the groups of the territories that they ought to be observed. The association recognized an experienced auditor was utilized to gather data and examine it since they have a high likelihood of giving precise data.
Stakeholder Analysis
Commonly, as an expert, one needs to think the what before the who when confronting an undertaking. Along these lines, they underscore the deliverables instead of the general population. The principal procedure of the communication knowledge zone, to be executed in the initiation of the task, is to identify the individuals with an interest.
One method for this procedure is partner examination, which a procedure of systematically collecting and investigating quantitative and qualitative data with the end goal to figure out what premiums specific must be considered all through the venture. It permits to recognize the interests, expectations, and impact of the interested individuals and relates them to the motivation behind the underta.

What is process evaluation?
Process evaluation uses empirical data to assess the delivery of
programs. In contrast to outcome evaluation, which assess the
impact of the program, process evaluation verifies what the
program is and whether it is being implemented as designed. Thus,
process evaluation asks "what," and outcome evaluation asks, "so
what?"
When conducting a process evaluation, keep in mind these three
questions:
1. What is the program intended to be?
2. What is delivered, in reality?
3. Where are the gaps between program design and delivery?
This workbook will serve as a guide for designing your own process
evaluation for a program of your choosing. There are many steps involved
in the implementation of a process evaluation, and this workbook will
attempt to direct you through some of the main stages. It will be helpful to
think of a delivery service program that you can use as your example as
you complete these activities.
Why is process evaluation important?
1. To determine the extent to which the program is being
implemented according to plan
2. To assess and document the degree of fidelity and variability in
program implementation, expected or unexpected, planned or
unplanned
3. To compare multiple sites with respect to fidelity
4. To provide validity for the relationship between the intervention
and the outcomes
5. To provide information on what components of the intervention
are responsible for outcomes
6. To understand the relationship between program context (i.e.,
setting characteristics) and program processes (i.e., levels of
implementation).

What is process evaluation?
Process evaluation uses empirical data to assess the delivery of
programs. In contrast to outcome evaluation, which assess the
impact of the program, process evaluation verifies what the
program is and whether it is being implemented as designed. Thus,
process evaluation asks "what," and outcome evaluation asks, "so
what?"
When conducting a process evaluation, keep in mind these three
questions:
1. What is the program intended to be?
2. What is delivered, in reality?
3. Where are the gaps between program design and delivery?
This workbook will serve as a guide for designing your own process
evaluation for a program of your choosing. There are many steps involved
in the implementation of a process evaluation, and this workbook will
attempt to direct you through some of the main stages. It will be helpful to
think of a delivery service program that you can use as your example as
you complete these activities.
Why is process evaluation important?
1. To determine the extent to which the program is being
implemented according to plan
2. To assess and document the degree of fidelity and variability in
program implementation, expected or unexpected, planned or
unplanned
3. To compare multiple sites with respect to fidelity
4. To provide validity for the relationship between the intervention
and the outcomes
5. To provide information on what components of the intervention
are responsible for outcomes
6. To understand the relationship between program context (i.e.,
setting characteristics) and program processes (i.e., levels of
implementation).
7. To provide managers feedback on the quality of implementation
8. To refine delivery components
9. To provide program accountability to sponsors, the public, clients,
and funders
10. To improve the quality of the program, as the act of evaluating is

Your HR project to develop a centralized model of deliveri.docxdanhaley45372
Your HR project to develop a centralized model of delivering HR services has progressed through very critical stages of the project thus far. It is now time to present actionable, decision-making information to project leaders. This can be best accomplished when projects have been successfully managed, devoid of any major risks, and have been properly closed out and finalized.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1. Explain what it means to successfully direct and manage project work and identify and discuss 3-4 strategies you might use to manage and sustain progress in your HR project. Be specific.
2. Identify and discuss a minimum of 3 strategies that could be used to address and resolve any risks within the control of the project. HINT: See Exhibit 14.5 in the textbook. Is any one of the strategies you selected more important than the others? Why?
Exhibit 14.5
RISK EVENT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES RISKS WITHIN PROJECT CONTROL

3. Describe 2-3 actions a project manager may take as they begin to close out the project. Be sure to justify using the actions you discuss.
4. Review Project Management in Action: The Power of Lessons Learned (pages 518-520 in the textbook) and provide an overview to the project team on the significance of the information. Be specific.
Pg 518-520 from book
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ACTION The Power of Lessons Learned Projects are discrete. They have a beginning and an end, at which time the project team disbands and moves on to other things. Despite the fact there has inevitably been significant tacit learning during the project, there is often only a limited capture of this into a sharable form for future reuse. Too often, as the project team dissolves, the learning fades into the memories of individuals minds. This makes it extremely difficult for others to benefit in the future from the insights learned. The usual excuses for this loss echoing through the corridors include just too hard, not enough time, team disbanded before we had the chance, and many more. The key error here is the incorrect assumption that learning during or from projects is an added bonus or a nice- to-have luxury. This is not the case in best.

Introduction
Companies vary in the way in which they identify projects. The process of identifying a project can be performed by the top-level management, such as the Chief Executive Officer. A committee composed of the manager and other interested parties. The user department, senior information system manager, and the development group can decide on which project to submit. Each identification technique has its strengths as well as weaknesses. For instance, it protects that are identified by the top management have a strategic management focus. Projects that are identified by departments have a tactic focus.
Project cost, complexity, risk as well as duration influence the individuals who identify a project. Most of the project sources are identified by the steering committee as well as the top-level management. Most of the projects reflect on the broad needs of the organization. This group has a better understanding of the goals and objectives of the organization. Projects that are identified by the functional major, information system development group, and business unit are often designed for a particular business need. Moreover, it may not reflect the overall objective of the business. There are also not considered as broad organizational issues.
Projects that are identified by business units, development groups, and managers are known as bottom-up sources. It is essential to provide support to people who are carrying out this type of project. The top-level management should also be involved in the early life cycle of the project. Managers should be aware of the information needs and the reasons for carrying out the project. This description is essential, especially when selecting the project that will be approved to move into the project initiation and planning phase. Projects can be identified by both bottom-up and top and down. The procedure of identifying and selecting a project is different depending on the organization due to the limited resources.
It is essential to identify the advantage and disadvantages of the project. Project classifying, identification is ranking of the project can be performed by the top-level management, information system group, business unit, or the steering committee. The method that is used to access the merits of a particular project can vary based on the size of the company. In any given company, one or several methods can be used during the ranking or classification process. For instance, a company may use a committee, (Kaiser, et al., 2015). They can choose to meet every month or quarterly in order to discuss the progress of the project and areas that need to be improved. During the meeting, new project requests are reviewed related to the project that has already been identified. In addition, ongoing projects are also monitored.
In the project identification and selection, the final phase i ...
Discussion ThreeThis is one of the most important parts of this simisterchristen
Discussion Three
This is one of the most important parts of this course – I want you to work with your group to design a follow-up study using the topic Social Loafing. Your instructor will present the ideas to the whole class, and you will vote on which one you would like to do for your final class project. As you work on this discussion, try to think about what other variables might influence Loafing. Let me give you a few examples, though try to get creative with your group. Look at prior research and see if you can use some of their work as a follow-up to your study. Have fun with it!
Okay, consider some ideas I was thinking about for a follow-up study (Personally, I would recommend the third or fourth idea, as there is a lot of research you could draw on these new independent variables, which would make Paper III much easier to write). Keep in mind that we will drop one condition from our original Study One independent variable. I suggest keeping the Individual Total and Group Average conditions and dropping the Group Total condition. I have no solid reasoning behind this other than the Group Total and Group Average conditions probably will not differ much in study one, so including both is not necessary. I think keeping the Group Average condition will be easier to use with our new study design for some of the ideas below, but we could retain the Group Total if you have a good reason for doing so!
A fourth idea, and one I think is interesting, is to give participants an anchor. That is, we tell them how many math problems most people solve, with this number varying for the High Anchor condition (where we tell them most people solve 25 problems) and the Low Anchor condition (where we tell them most people solve 12 problems). Participants should attempt to solve more problems in the High Anchor condition than the Low Anchor condition, though participants with a High Anchor in the Individual Total condition should probably solve the most (with those in the Low Anchor and Group Average solving the least). The interesting part here is the High Anchor and Group Average condition. Since we look at the group score, loafing might occur, but the high anchor might disrupt their likelihood to loaf. In other words, this might be an interesting way to see if we can get rid of social loafing if we set a high anchor.
Finally, you can look at some participant characteristics if you like. You can measure the participants’ own ratings of how good they are or how much they enjoy math problems. Those who like math problems may be less likely to loaf (since loafing is less likely when people enjoy the activity). Or we could also look at participant gender. Research suggests that women are less likely to load than men. Would this same pattern hold in our study? Just remember that if you choose a participant characteristic as your second independent variable, you cannot draw cause-effect conclusions (since you cannot randomly assign someone to be good or bad a ...
Critique 1You have great reflection. I could not concur mo.docxfaithxdunce63732
Critique 1
You have great reflection. I could not concur more with you on the importance of involving students directly and indirectly in the learning procedure and how it will facilitate teachers to assess the learner performance in their developmental phases. You noted that the teacher should focus on developing the learners’ capacity to perceive and appreciate things from different learning perspectives. I do agree with you, but how can we do that? I would like to know your opinion on this point.
Regarding to the memorization strategy of learning, memorization is one of the most difficult way for me to deal with. I could not memorize a lot and I can spend a night to memorize one passage. Till today, I could not find a way that makes me able to memorize more. It is really important that teachers and instructors understand that memorization for some students, like me, is very hard and sometimes impossible to memorize.
Critique 2
Meaningful learning occurs when learners are ready, and the materials are appropriate to the learners. If we don' t have any information about the learners, the materials we prepare for the learners might be useless. So I think knowing the readiness of the leaners is very important, and all the learners have different needs, that's why teaching learning strategies is very important. Even the leaners have exposed different learning and cognitive environment, they can choose a strategy we teach , which helps them experience meaningful learning.
Critique 3
I really liked your reflection and the way you clearly stated your opinion. I noticed that you didn’t talk about both Bruner’s and Vygotsky’s theories mentioned by Driscoll (2005), in this week’s chapter. I would love to read more about your opinion regarding these two important theories by these two great figures and maybe compare them with the model of Collins and Stevens.
Critique 4
“The teacher involve students directly in the learning process because this will help them appreciate their weaknesses” I was wandering if the students involve in the learning process how they will appreciate their weakness? I think no one appreciate his\her weakness all of us could appreciate our hard work but not our weakness. What do you think? You said, “Learning should not be viewed as a class an in-class process alone rather a lifelong process that takes places everywhere” I believe that what we have learned in any educational place should we benefit from it to solve the problems outside of educational place. However, you mentioned, ”The process of meaningful learning is an outcome of interaction of the teaching process, and the way the learner is receiving and processing the information” but do you think also that culture and social play important role to produce meaningful learning process?

Quality Tool Analysis
The supply chain management sphere has an issue when considering a pharmacy facility organization. The problem with the pharmaceutical supply chain operations has resulted from all individuals lacking access to the most noteworthy quality medication and in addition keep up levels in medical care that occurs in the arrangement of supplying medicine, notwithstanding giving the improvement of new knowledge, aptitudes and systems that invigorate the advancement of medicine supply chain management. The quality tool used to recognize these issues is data collection sheet which gathers the essential information to have the capacity to answer any inquiries that may emerge. The quintessence of the data is that the reason for existing is apparent and that the data mirrors the fact of the matter, is anything but difficult to gather and utilize. A quantitative method was used to gather the data. The data collection sheet is being used in the dispersion of factors of the articles delivered, classification of broken things locating of the defects of the pieces, recognizing reasons for deformities and verification check or support undertakings (Awad, 2012).
To arrive at the problem, a questionnaire was utilized together with the data collection sheet. There was a clear framework on how data was to be gathered and with what sort of document will be made and how the gather data ought to be utilized. How the data will be analyzed was additionally sketched out, and the individual who ought to oversee gathering the data was distinguished. For the optimization of data accumulation, Sharp and McDermott (2009) suggest that the data collection be finished by an experienced auditor and in an arbitrary example of the exercises, of the general population and of the groups of the territories that they ought to be observed. The association recognized an experienced auditor was utilized to gather data and examine it since they have a high likelihood of giving precise data.
Stakeholder Analysis
Commonly, as an expert, one needs to think the what before the who when confronting an undertaking. Along these lines, they underscore the deliverables instead of the general population. The principal procedure of the communication knowledge zone, to be executed in the initiation of the task, is to identify the individuals with an interest.
One method for this procedure is partner examination, which a procedure of systematically collecting and investigating quantitative and qualitative data with the end goal to figure out what premiums specific must be considered all through the venture. It permits to recognize the interests, expectations, and impact of the interested individuals and relates them to the motivation behind the underta.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

Individual Project Part 3 Project Evaluation, Lessons Learned, a.docx
1. Individual Project Part 3: Project Evaluation, Lessons Learned,
and Synthesis of Insights Gained
Though project managers often gain a great deal of experiential
knowledge through the project management process, project
evaluation offers them a chance to formalize the lessons they
have learned. Part 3 of the Individual Project focuses on issues
related to evaluating the success of a project and the debriefing
process for capturing lessons learned. If conducting an
interview, your interviewee must be able to speak to these
topics. Alternatively, you may examine a minimum of three
organizations that have published descriptions about the
evaluation and debriefing process of a health care information
technology project.
Interview
To prepare:
Review the Individual Project Overview document linked in this
week’s Learning Resources for additional information on this
project. Pay particular attention to the questions you should ask
in your interview.
Locate a professional who manages or works on special projects
2. in health care and is willing to speak about his or her
experience.
If such a person is not readily available to you, find someone in
your community who has managed a project for an organization.
The organization can be a volunteer service group, a faith-based
group, a business, or another that meets your needs. The goal is
to find an individual who has been in charge of a project
important to the organization.
Review the topics and questions below that should be addressed
in your interview.
Think about other related questions you might have for your
interviewee and solidify your goals for speaking to and learning
from this person.
Topics and Questions:
As in the other interviews, you will need to adapt your
questions to the individual,
setting, and projects. You are not required to ask these
specific
questions, but you are
required to address the topics listed below (Note: If the
interviewee cannot address a
topic, conduct a literature search to find scholarly information
or research on that topic).
Evaluation
·
What tools or strategies do you use to evaluate the success of a
project?
·
Can you give an example of a project that failed (or was not
successful)?
3. Lessons Learned
·
Describe the project outcomes
o
What were some successful outcomes of the project? Were the
project
goals met?
o
How do you conduct a debriefing of the project with the project
team?
o
What happens to the information gained from the debriefing?
o
How do the project team and the organization support project
debriefing?
·
Companies have historically looked at technical skills, but more
and more
business managers are realizing that the absence of good
"people" skills tends to
cripple projects. What are three critically important things a
project manager (or
project team member) must do well to help a project succeed?
Please add questions of your own, including asking for advice
for the future from your
interviewee.
To complete:
4. In a 4- to 6-page paper in APA format with a minimum of 4
references from the list below. Reflect on your experience and
address the following level one headings as numbered below:
Describe the context of your interview—where and how the
interview took place, why you
selected this individual, and how you believe this individual
meets the requirements for this Assignment.
Describe the role and functions of the individual within the
context of the individual’s organizational structure and for
project management.
Synthesize insights on how evaluation and debriefing are
addressed in the interviewee’s organization.
Compare the insights from your interview with information
from project management literature about evaluation and
debriefing. Be sure that the comparisons you make are clear to
the reader.
Explain how your insights into these aspects of project
management will impact your ability to successfully manage
health care information technology projects. Include any tips
the individual described for managing a successful project.
Synthesize insights and conclusions gained from your
interviews about project management and how project
management is conducted in the interviewee’s organization.
Summarize how evaluations and debriefings in the real-world
setting of the interviewee and compare to the project
management literature.
Address how the use or non-use of formal project management
could impact the success of health care information technology
projects. Use literature sources to support your perspectives on
this topic.
Do not cut and paste all of the content from the first two parts
of the Assignment. You have to synthesize the key concepts,
insights, principles, etc. from each part of the Assignment into a
5. cohesive, understandable whole.
