The document discusses project scope management, which involves defining and controlling what is included in a project. It covers developing a work breakdown structure (WBS) to plan and track a project's scope. A WBS breaks a project into smaller, more manageable components using a hierarchical structure. It also discusses collecting requirements, selecting projects, and managing scope through processes like defining scope, creating a WBS, and controlling scope. Weighted scoring models are presented as a method for selecting projects based on prioritized criteria.

To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

6. Selecting the Project
Project Portfolio Management is the process of project
selection.
It involves making a decision about which project an
organization should execute.
There are two types of project selection methods. They are
Benefits Measurement Method for Project Selection
(Comparative Approach)
Constrained Optimization Method for Project Selection
(Mathematical Approach)
7. Benefits Measurement Project Selection
(Comparative Approach)
Benefits Measurement project selection methods involve comparing
the values of one project against another.
There are the following type of Benefit Measurement project
selection techniques ,
Murder Boards
Scoring Models
Benefits Cost Ratio
Payback period
Discounted Cash Flow
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
8. Benefits Measurement Project Selection
Murder Boards - This involves a committee asking
tough questions from each project.
Scoring Models - Different projects are given scores
based on certain defined criteria. Project with higher
score is selected.
Benefits Cost Ratio - This technique involves
computing benefits to cost ratio (BCR) for a project.
Project with higher BCR is selected.
9. Benefits Measurement Project Selection
Payback period - This technique involves considering how long
it takes back to "pay back" the cost of the project. Inflation or
interest earned in not considered in this technique. A project
with lower pay back period is better.
Discounted Cash Flow - This technique takes into account the
interest earned on the money. The Future Value (FV) of projects
is compared.
FV=PV(1+i)n
PV is the present value of the project. A project with higher
present value is better.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) - A project that has higher IRR is
better, as it is giving higher return on money.
10. Constrained Optimization Project Selection
(Mathematical Approach)
Constrained Optimization Project selection methods are used for
large projects.
These are techniques based on mathematical models.
The Constrained Optimization techniques are -
Linear Programming
Non-Linear Programming
Integer Algorithm
Dynamic Programming
Multi-objective Programming
11. How Do We Manage Scope?

16. Weighted Scoring Model
A weighted scoring model is a tool that provides a systematic
process for selecting projects based on many criteria.
Used in portfolio management as a selection method that can
be applied by a project selection committee.
The following steps define the process for applying a
weighted scoring model.
The first three steps are to create the model at the
organizational level and the last three steps are to apply the
model to projects in the organization.
17. Weighted Scoring Model
1. Determine criteria that are important to the project
selection process.
2. Assign weights to each criterion or group of criteria based
on their importance to the organization.
3. Develop a scoring rubric for each criterion.
4. Apply the scoring rubric to assign raw scores for each
criterion to each project.
5. Multiply the raw scores by the weights to get the weighted
scores for each criterion on each project.
6. Add the weighted scores for each project.

21. Work Breakdown Structures - WBS
Every one of us have some goal and we plan accordingly to
achieve them.
One of the effective ways to reach our goal quickly is to break
down the larger goals in to realistic achievable steps.
The WBS, as the name says, is the process or the technique of
dividing complex and difficult projects into smaller units.
This smaller units can be a data, product ,service and any
combination.
In other words, WBS is hierarchical decomposition of work that
must be performed to achieve the objective.
Graphical picture of work.
22. Rules followed in constructing a WBS
1. Two week rule – any broken down level of the above structure
cannot be smaller than two weeks of work.
2. 8/80 rule for WBS - No task should be less than 8 hours or more
than 80 hours.
3. There are many ways to represent the WBS such as Tree , Table
and List, the tree type structure is mostly used and an efficient
way of representation.
23. WBS Dictionary
WBS Dictionary explains all the WBS components and also
WBS is input to most of the planning processes.
Specifically WBS is input to the following processes ,
Cost Estimating
Cost Budgeting
Scope control
Activity Definition
Plan Purchases and Acquisitions
28. Approaches for WBS development
Deliverable-Based: It defines project work in terms of the
physical or functional components which make up the
deliverable/product.
Task Based: It defines the project work in terms of the
actions to tasks which must be done to create the project
deliverable.
Time Based: It defines the project work in terms of time
phases instead of tasks or deliverable.
Cost Based: This approach defines project work in terms
of cost but this is rarely used.
