Part 1
1) You are providing a review of contractor bids for a component of your upcoming project. What can be done to determine whether or not a vendor’s bid is reasonable?
To decide whether the vendor's bid is sensible I would check for the following steps:
• The bid ought to be in accordance with the project estimate cost and ought to comply with it
• The temporary worker presenting the bid ought to be genuine and have great reputation
• The bid ought to pursue all the legitimate prerequisites
• The bid ought to be legitimate for the project and should fulfill all of the segments
• The bid should also pursue every one of the terms and conditions referenced for the venture
2) Describe the conditions for which parametric, analogous and bottom up estimation techniques work best, and provide 2 examples in support of each method.
Parametric estimation: It is an estimation of cost, time or risk that is based on a calculation or algorithm. As the name suggests, parametric estimates are based on parameters that define the complexity, risk and costs of a program, project, service, process or activity.
E.g.
1. A moving company estimates the price of an office move using a base cost and variable cost based on the number of employees and distance. Unique complexities such as moving an air conditioning system is added as a separate cost. This base cost is multiplied by surcharges for moving to a multi-floor premise and working on a weekend.
2. The expense to construct a current shopping complex can be referred and we can add the resources to decrease the time dependent on past information and scientific estimations.
Analogous Estimation: This type of estimation depends on the past historical data as well as the performance of the project team
E.g.
1. In the event that an organization has undertaken advancement of an application and delivered it effectively, this can be utilized for estimation if similar application needs be created
2. For example, if it cost $7,100 to develop a website a few months ago and you are responsible for developing a new similar website, you estimate it to cost $7,100.
Bottom-up Estimation: This type of estimation can be done by breaking the entire project into modules and considering them individually.
E.g.
1. Individual managers must first create their own budgets, referencing past budgets and spending patterns while incorporating cost projections for the upcoming fiscal year. Upper-level managers and executives must then review all the budgets that managers submit, combining them to determine totals.
2.A project which requires high amount of detail and accuracy
3.Why is a cost management plan important? How does the plan benefit the project manager?
Cost management is the way toward assessing, allotting, and controlling the expenses in a project. It enables a business to anticipate coming costs so as to diminish its odds going over spending plan. It is one of the most important and essential part of the project ...
Project cost management ,cost estimation cost control and evm for large epc projects and is essential for knowing the cost parameters for all construction engineers.

Cost Estimation
Estimating project costs are important because:
• Can be used in feasibility study before starting the
project.
• It can facilitate decisions regarding project
financing and funding.
• It provides a standard against which actual costs
incurred during the execution can be compared.
• It gives the project manager a framework to
allocate scarce resources throughout the project.
4
Cost Estimation
This is a process of estimating the cost of the resources
required for each scheduled activity.
It is important to be certain to include all the costs
required to complete the work of the project.
5
Estimate Costs Inputs
• Project Management Plan (Cost management plan,
Quality Management Plan, Scope baseline)
• Project Documents (Lessons learned register, Project
schedule, resource requirements, Risk register)
• Enterprise environmental factors
• Organizational process assets.
6
Estimate Costs Inputs
Scope Baseline:
• Project scope statement
• WBS
• WBS dictionary
Project scope statement is a document that includes key
deliverables, constraints, assumptions, etc.
Constraints such as limited budget for the project can be
find in this document. There might be other constraints such
as delivery date that can impact the cost.
Project assumptions regarding costs might include
information regarding indirect costs in the estimate.
7
Estimate Costs Inputs
The WBS serves as the basis for estimating costs, as it includes all
deliverables and the control accounts that are typically
established at the work package level.
The WBS dictionary describes the deliverables, work
components, and other elements of the WBS.
All these information can be helpful in estimation of the costs.
For example if one of the deliverables is to get licenses you need
to see that as additional expenses to fulfill in the estimation.
8
Estimate Costs Inputs
The Project schedule along with the resource requirements for
each activity are key inputs in estimating costs of the project.t
You need to be aware of the duration as it can affect costs.
For example, you must account for costs such as interest
charges in a financed work of the project.
Another example is fluctuation in costs that can occur due to
seasonal or holiday demands.
9
Estimate Costs Inputs
The risk register contains the response plans, particularly for
those risks with negative impacts to the project.
When developing project cost estimates, you should consider
the cost of implementing risk response plans.
10
Estimate Costs Inputs
The enterprise environmental factors such as market conditions,
exchange rates and inflation are examples to be considered in
the project costs estimation.
The organization process assets such as lessons.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
1. Part 1
1) You are providing a review of contractor bids for a
component of your upcoming project. What can be done to
determine whether or not a vendor’s bid is reasonable?
To decide whether the vendor's bid is sensible I would check
for the following steps:
• The bid ought to be in accordance with the project estimate
cost and ought to comply with it
• The temporary worker presenting the bid ought to be
genuine and have great reputation
• The bid ought to pursue all the legitimate prerequisites
• The bid ought to be legitimate for the project and should
fulfill all of the segments
• The bid should also pursue every one of the terms and
conditions referenced for the venture
2) Describe the conditions for which parametric, analogous and
bottom up estimation techniques work best, and provide 2
examples in support of each method.
Parametric estimation: It is an estimation of cost, time
2. or risk that is based on a calculation or algorithm. As the name
suggests, parametric estimates are based on parameters that
define the complexity, risk and costs of a program, project,
service, process or activity.
E.g.
1. A moving company estimates the price of an office move
using a base cost and variable cost based on the number of
employees and distance. Unique complexities such as moving an
air conditioning system is added as a separate cost. This base
cost is multiplied by surcharges for moving to a multi-floor
premise and working on a weekend.
2. The expense to construct a current shopping complex can be
referred and we can add the resources to decrease the time
dependent on past information and scientific estimations.
Analogous Estimation: This type of estimation depends on the
past historical data as well as the performance of the project
team
E.g.
1. In the event that an organization has undertaken advancement
of an application and delivered it effectively, this can be
utilized for estimation if similar application needs be created
2. For example, if it cost $7,100 to develop a website a few
months ago and you are responsible for developing a new
similar website, you estimate it to cost $7,100.
Bottom-up Estimation: This type of estimation can be done by
breaking the entire project into modules and considering them
individually.
E.g.
1. Individual managers must first create their own budgets,
referencing past budgets and spending patterns while
incorporating cost projections for the upcoming fiscal year.
Upper-level managers and executives must then review all the
budgets that managers submit, combining them to determine
totals.
2.A project which requires high amount of detail and accuracy
3.Why is a cost management plan important? How does the
3. plan benefit the project manager?
Cost management is the way toward assessing, allotting, and
controlling the expenses in a project. It enables a business to
anticipate coming costs so as to diminish its odds going over
spending plan. It is one of the most important and essential part
of the project planning phase and it also effectively serves as a
baseline that guarantees that the project cost is kept within the
limits of the budget.
Part 2 Budget Estimating (30 points)
Using the same scenario from the previous unit on scheduling,
create a time-phased budget for the following project. Prepare a
figure like Exhibit 10.9, CPT 4e, that illustrates the daily and
cumulative costs for the resource-leveled project.
Assume the following hourly rates:
Alcides $45 / hr.
Joan $50 / hr.

Part 3 Budget Estimating (50 points)
You are the project manager for a process improvement project
for Company XYZ. Prepare a figure like Exhibit 10.9 that
illustrates the weekly and cumulative costs for the resource-
leveled project.
Hint: To accomplish this exercise, you’ll need to create a
project schedule in MS Excel (or by hand), create resource
assignments, assign costs to each resource, and assign the
resources to each task. Some resource leveling will be
required.
In this project, you have 3 employees: Ann, Becky and Clive.
Each person is limited to the amount of time allocated to your
project. Ann and Becky are available 30 hours/week; Clive is
available 20 hours/week. There hourly rates are: Ann:
$60/hour; Becky: $35/hour; and Clive: $50/hour.
