Planning the Project The PMBOK® Guide states that the planning process includes actions necessary to define, integrate, and coordinate all subsidiary plans into a project management plan. This implies that in bottom-up planning, the summary project plan being the consolidation of subsidiary plans is drawn independently. Based on your understanding of the project planning process, answer the following questions: Is bottom-up planning appropriate or should the project plan be developed top-down by developing the subsidiary plans based on the documentation (charter and scope statement) that has been produced to this point? Explain. Is there any other approach you would recommend? List the nine components of planning sequences for software project planning. Any successful project plan must contain nine key elements. List these items and briefly describe the composition of each. Describe the "even planning process" and explain why it is helpful. What is shown on a linear responsibility chart? How is it useful to a project manager? In what ways may the WBS be used as a key document to monitor and control a project? .

The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is a visual representation that breaks down a project into smaller, more manageable components or deliverables. A WBS breaks down the work into work packages, which are the smallest elements, and organizes them so that the work can be planned, estimated, and controlled. It serves as the foundation for key project management processes like cost estimating, scheduling, and risk management. A WBS dictionary provides details on each work package.
Project planning and Scheduling
Project planning involves carefully breaking down a project into logical components using tools like the work breakdown structure and network diagrams to identify dependencies between tasks. This allows project teams to develop accurate schedules, usually in the form of Gantt charts, to coordinate resources and activities to achieve goals on time and on budget. Production planning establishes production rates and resource usage to satisfy customer demand as expressed in sales forecasts, while balancing inventory levels and maintaining a stable workforce over a 6-18 month horizon. The process begins with a sales forecast and may incorporate desired inventory changes to determine the production plan.

LOGICAL FRAME WORK.docx
An LFA provides a logical framework for planning and implementing projects through a systematic structure. It outlines the key components of a project, including the goal, objectives, activities, outputs, and indicators. The steps in an LFA include stakeholder analysis, cause-effect analysis, objectives analysis, and alternatives analysis to design the project. At the core is a temporal logic model that connects planned activities to outputs, outcomes, and the overall goal through a series of propositions. The LFA can be visualized through a Work Breakdown Structure that hierarchies the deliverables and work units in a project for clear description and establishment of the resource plan, budget, schedule and other documents.

Solution
Typically many of the project\'s key stakeholders, that is those affected by both the project and
the project\'s end result, do not fully understand the nature of the project plan. Since one of the
most important and difficult aspects of project management is getting commitment and buying,
the first step is to explain the planning process and the project plan to all key stakeholders. It is
essential for them to understand the importance of this set of documents and to be familiar with
its content, since they will be asked to review and approve the documents that pertain to them.
Components of the Project Plan Include:
Baselines. Baselines are sometimes called performance measures, because the performance of
the entire project is measured against them. They are the project\'s three approved starting points
and include the scope, schedule, and cost baselines. These provide the \'stakes in the ground.\'
That is, they are used to determine whether or not the project is on track, during the execution of
the project.
Baseline management plans. These plans include documentation on how variances to the
baselines will be handled throughout the project. Each project baseline will need to be reviewed
and managed. A result of this process may include the need to do additional planning, with the
possibility that the baseline(s) will change. Project management plans document what the project
team will do when variances to the baselines occur, including what process will be followed,
who will be notified, how the changes will be funded, etc.
Other work products from the planning process. These include a risk management plan, a quality
plan, a procurement plan, a staffing plan, and a communications plan.
Step 2: Define roles and responsibilities. Not all key stakeholders will review all documents, so it
is necessary to determine who on the project needs to approve which parts of the plan. Some of
the key players are:
Step 3: Hold a kickoff meeting. The kickoff meeting is an effective way to bring stakeholders
together to discuss the project. It is an effective way to initiate the planning process. It can be
used to start building trust among the team members and ensure that everyone\'s idea are taken
into account. Kickoff meetings also demonstrate commitment from the sponsor for the project.
Here are some of the topics that might be included in a kickoff meeting:
Step 4: Develop a Scope Statement. The Scope Statement is arguably the most important
document in the project plan. It\'s the foundation for the rest of the project. It describes the
project and is used to get common agreement among the sta.
Project mgmt.
The document summarizes key aspects of project planning from a textbook. It discusses the importance of establishing clear objectives and gaining management support during the initial planning stages. The project plan should include elements like objectives, schedules, budgets, and risk mitigation. Effective planning involves breaking the project into work packages with assigned responsibilities using a work breakdown structure. Interface coordination is also critical to integrate different elements and ensure tasks are completed on schedule.
Work breakdown structure ppt
The document discusses Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is a deliverable-oriented decomposition of a project into smaller, more manageable components. A WBS breaks down the project scope into smaller parts for estimating, scheduling, and monitoring and control. It helps define the total scope of work, assign responsibilities, and track costs, schedule, and deliverables. The key steps to develop a WBS are to identify the main project deliverables and break them down into successively smaller work packages or tasks in a hierarchical manner. This allows estimating time and costs for each component and monitoring project progress.

A comprehensive project scope analysis has several key benefits: it transforms an idea into a working concept, maps out project details in a detailed manner, and ensures the final product aligns with original goals and objectives. By outlining each step, it increases the likelihood the project stays on budget, time, and meets requirements.
A work package is a specific step of a project that is more manageable than the whole project. Each work package has its own deadline, resource needs, and supervisor. Collectively, work packages lead the project from start to finish.
A responsibility assignment matrix outlines team members responsible for each task and supporting members. It increases communication and flow by identifying responsibilities. Creating it helps the project manager better coordinate
Diploma of Project Management – How to Set Up Project Activity Sequences
This document discusses how to set up project activity sequences. It explains that once a project activity list is created, the activities must be arranged logically. This can be done through computer-driven scheduling software, manual sequencing, or a blended approach. When sequencing activities, the project manager should consider the project scope statement, activity list, activity attributes, milestone list, and approved change requests to ensure all necessary work is included.

Solution
Ans:- A work breakdown structure (WBS), inproject management and systems engineering, is a
deliverable-oriented decomposition of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown
structure is a key project deliverable that organizes the team\'s work into manageable sections.
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the work breakdown structure
as a \"deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project
team.\"
A work breakdown structure element may be aproduct, data, service, or any combination thereof.
A WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along
with providing guidance for schedule development and control.
A work breakdown structure lets project managers plan their work more efficiently. A project is
characterized by time-limited activities and is assigned fixed time frames and costs. When it is
finished, a project must fulfill the stakeholder needs it was designed to address. The project
management has to plan for the schedule, the fixed costs and the functional completeness of the
project and assign responsibilities. The WBS helps make this planning consistent and provides
for effective project execution.
Importance;-
Tasks
The main purpose of a WBS is to reduce complicated activities to a collection of tasks. This is
important for the project manager because she can oversee the tasks more effectively than the
complex activities. Tasks must be measurable and independent, with clearly defined limits. All
the project work must be included in one of the tasks and the tasks must not include any non-
project work.
Costs
Because the WBS tasks are measurable, the project management can assign specific costs to each
task. The WBS lets project managers distribute the project budget into defined packages linked
to the tasks and check to make sure that the task costs in total don\'t exceed the total project cost.
Schedule
The WBS is important for tracking progress in the project schedule. Because the WBS tasks have
clearly defined limits, the project management can determine how advanced the project is by
checking which of the tasks are finished. Even within each task, the project management can
check for percent completion because each task is measurable..
5 project management project planning
The document discusses project planning and outlines several key points:
1. Careful planning is important for project success and reduces time needed for implementation. Planning should not result in "paralysis by analysis" and must balance analysis with action.
2. The primary purpose of planning is to establish directions in sufficient detail to define what must be done, when, and with what resources to successfully complete deliverables.
3. Characteristics of a good plan include meeting organizational objectives, allowing for uncertainty and risk, and including means to control work.
Continuous Alignment
Alignment of project participants, especially during the pre-project planning phase is a
recognized key to project success. Alignment activities within a project context are
focused on defining, understanding and meeting project objectives by the various
project participants.
Within a program context the same raison d’etre exists but with even greater influence
on overall program success and with a broader scope of participants and alignment
vectors. This expanded context for alignment in programs utilizing a program
management approach is described
The Project Management Plan in 20 steps
The document outlines 20 steps for developing a project management plan. It discusses that the plan sets the rules for implementing, controlling, and monitoring a project. The plan is developed during the planning phase and integrates all the knowledge areas defined by PMI. It may also include the project life cycle, change management plan, configuration management plan, and methods for maintaining the project baseline. The document then presents a process map for developing the project management plan starting from the project charter. It also provides an overview of the 47 processes defined by PMI, grouped by knowledge areas and process groups.
How to get started - managing a programme
This document provides guidance for getting started with managing a programme based on best practices from Managing Successful Programmes (MSP). The key first steps outlined are to establish the vision and scope of the programme by defining the blueprint, identifying related projects, and beginning to plan the programme. It emphasizes asking questions to understand the strategic objectives and stakeholder support, and considering the organizational framework and resources available to support programme management and change delivery. The next steps then focus on iteratively defining the programme scope and capabilities in the blueprint, identifying projects, and developing the initial programme plan to lay out the expected tasks, activities, and timelines for delivery.
Pmbok Guide 5 th Edition
This document provides an overview and explanation of key concepts from the PMBOK 5th edition, including:
- The PMBOK Guide outlines 10 knowledge areas containing 47 processes to implement the 5 main project management process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing.
- Each process has inputs, tools/techniques, and outputs, with outputs from one process becoming inputs for others.
- Projects have phases that follow the 5 process groups, and the 47 processes can exist in one or more of the groups. Understanding the relationships between these concepts is important for successfully applying the PMBOK framework.

Introduction
If you have ever been part of a team effort where it was unclear who was doing what, then you
have experienced the consequences of not planning out project work. When a team takes on
a project, there must be a plan for the work, a way to identify all the work tasks that must be
done in sequence to produce the project deliverable. In project management, this is called the
work breakdown structure. The WBS is the “what” in the question of who does what. Later,
team members are assigned to the work, but the first step is deciding what the work is.
This chapter will cover the process of defining and breaking down project work and schedul-
ing work tasks and milestones. It will focus on the WBS and scheduling process and the issues
involved in effective scheduling. This is important because outlining what needs to be done to
produce a project’s requirements and deliverables is a proven technique in producing a suc-
cessful project. This process of breaking down project work is a bread-and-butter function in
the project management field.
This chapter covers the definition of project work using a top-down WBS and scheduling the
work from the bottom up. It will illustrate the process and identify ways to reflect risk and
uncertainty in the scheduling process.
6.1 The Work Breakdown Structure
A WBS is a valuable description and documentation of the work involved in producing the
project deliverable. Sometimes the WBS is easy to define, but in more complex projects it is a
complicated and detailed listing of work tasks, milestones, and resources (resources include
personnel, materials, equipment, supplies, facilities, and other assets used in a project). The
WBS is the structure of the work, not the components of the product. Although some work is
directly related to product parts, the purpose of the WBS is to enable an accounting of the costs
of the project and the sequence of work activity and resource use so these can be scheduled.

workbreakdownstructureppt-130410021152-phpapp02 (1).pdf
The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) process which divides complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. A WBS breaks down projects into deliverable components that can be estimated, scheduled, and monitored more easily. It provides a framework for cost estimating, schedule development, and performance measurement. Key benefits of a WBS include accurate project organization, responsibility assignment, cost/schedule estimation, and stakeholder understanding of project scope. The document outlines the process of developing a WBS using inputs like the project scope statement and tools like decomposition, then creating outputs such as the WBS dictionary and scope baseline. Common pitfalls to avoid are improper task detail levels and including activities instead of deliverables.

The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) process which divides complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. A WBS breaks down projects into deliverable components that can be estimated, scheduled, and monitored more easily. It provides a framework for cost estimating, schedule development, and control. Developing a WBS involves identifying deliverables, decomposing high-level tasks, and assigning responsibilities to ensure all work is captured accurately. The WBS helps define project scope, assign roles, track progress, and manage costs and risks.
Work Breakdown Structure Aritrya Kumar.pptx
The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which breaks a project down into smaller, more manageable tasks. There are two types of WBS - deliverable-based and phase-based. A deliverable-based WBS clearly shows the relationship between project deliverables and scope, while a phase-based WBS uses typical project phases for the top level. The document outlines the steps to create a WBS, including gathering documents, identifying deliverables, decomposing work, and creating a WBS dictionary. Finally, it discusses how the WBS is used for planning, scheduling, cost estimating, and monitoring and controlling project work.
Chapter 3
The document describes the five project management process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It discusses how activities from each process group map to the nine knowledge areas and how organizations develop their own IT project management methodologies. The document also presents a case study of a company applying the process groups to manage an IT project and provides examples of key documents used.
Project Life Cycle final.pptx
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.

A comprehensive project scope analysis has several key benefits: it transforms an idea into a working concept, maps out project details in a detailed manner, and ensures the final product aligns with original goals and objectives. By outlining each step, it increases the likelihood the project stays on budget, time, and meets requirements.
A work package is a specific step of a project that is more manageable than the whole project. Each work package has its own deadline, resource needs, and supervisor. Collectively, work packages lead the project from start to finish.
A responsibility assignment matrix outlines team members responsible for each task and supporting members. It increases communication and flow by identifying responsibilities. Creating it helps the project manager better coordinate
Diploma of Project Management – How to Set Up Project Activity Sequences
This document discusses how to set up project activity sequences. It explains that once a project activity list is created, the activities must be arranged logically. This can be done through computer-driven scheduling software, manual sequencing, or a blended approach. When sequencing activities, the project manager should consider the project scope statement, activity list, activity attributes, milestone list, and approved change requests to ensure all necessary work is included.
Subject - Project ManagementDescribe what the WBS is and why you .pdf
Subject :- Project Management
Describe what the WBS is and why you think it\'s important to create one. You have the option
to research the web, textbook etc
Solution
Ans:- A work breakdown structure (WBS), inproject management and systems engineering, is a
deliverable-oriented decomposition of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown
structure is a key project deliverable that organizes the team\'s work into manageable sections.
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the work breakdown structure
as a \"deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project
team.\"
A work breakdown structure element may be aproduct, data, service, or any combination thereof.
A WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along
with providing guidance for schedule development and control.
A work breakdown structure lets project managers plan their work more efficiently. A project is
characterized by time-limited activities and is assigned fixed time frames and costs. When it is
finished, a project must fulfill the stakeholder needs it was designed to address. The project
management has to plan for the schedule, the fixed costs and the functional completeness of the
project and assign responsibilities. The WBS helps make this planning consistent and provides
for effective project execution.
Importance;-
Tasks
The main purpose of a WBS is to reduce complicated activities to a collection of tasks. This is
important for the project manager because she can oversee the tasks more effectively than the
complex activities. Tasks must be measurable and independent, with clearly defined limits. All
the project work must be included in one of the tasks and the tasks must not include any non-
project work.
Costs
Because the WBS tasks are measurable, the project management can assign specific costs to each
task. The WBS lets project managers distribute the project budget into defined packages linked
to the tasks and check to make sure that the task costs in total don\'t exceed the total project cost.
Schedule
The WBS is important for tracking progress in the project schedule. Because the WBS tasks have
clearly defined limits, the project management can determine how advanced the project is by
checking which of the tasks are finished. Even within each task, the project management can
check for percent completion because each task is measurable..
5 project management project planning
The document discusses project planning and outlines several key points:
1. Careful planning is important for project success and reduces time needed for implementation. Planning should not result in "paralysis by analysis" and must balance analysis with action.
2. The primary purpose of planning is to establish directions in sufficient detail to define what must be done, when, and with what resources to successfully complete deliverables.
3. Characteristics of a good plan include meeting organizational objectives, allowing for uncertainty and risk, and including means to control work.
Continuous Alignment
Alignment of project participants, especially during the pre-project planning phase is a
recognized key to project success. Alignment activities within a project context are
focused on defining, understanding and meeting project objectives by the various
project participants.
Within a program context the same raison d’etre exists but with even greater influence
on overall program success and with a broader scope of participants and alignment
vectors. This expanded context for alignment in programs utilizing a program
management approach is described
The Project Management Plan in 20 steps
The document outlines 20 steps for developing a project management plan. It discusses that the plan sets the rules for implementing, controlling, and monitoring a project. The plan is developed during the planning phase and integrates all the knowledge areas defined by PMI. It may also include the project life cycle, change management plan, configuration management plan, and methods for maintaining the project baseline. The document then presents a process map for developing the project management plan starting from the project charter. It also provides an overview of the 47 processes defined by PMI, grouped by knowledge areas and process groups.
How to get started - managing a programme
This document provides guidance for getting started with managing a programme based on best practices from Managing Successful Programmes (MSP). The key first steps outlined are to establish the vision and scope of the programme by defining the blueprint, identifying related projects, and beginning to plan the programme. It emphasizes asking questions to understand the strategic objectives and stakeholder support, and considering the organizational framework and resources available to support programme management and change delivery. The next steps then focus on iteratively defining the programme scope and capabilities in the blueprint, identifying projects, and developing the initial programme plan to lay out the expected tasks, activities, and timelines for delivery.
Pmbok Guide 5 th Edition
This document provides an overview and explanation of key concepts from the PMBOK 5th edition, including:
- The PMBOK Guide outlines 10 knowledge areas containing 47 processes to implement the 5 main project management process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing.
- Each process has inputs, tools/techniques, and outputs, with outputs from one process becoming inputs for others.
- Projects have phases that follow the 5 process groups, and the 47 processes can exist in one or more of the groups. Understanding the relationships between these concepts is important for successfully applying the PMBOK framework.

Introduction
If you have ever been part of a team effort where it was unclear who was doing what, then you
have experienced the consequences of not planning out project work. When a team takes on
a project, there must be a plan for the work, a way to identify all the work tasks that must be
done in sequence to produce the project deliverable. In project management, this is called the
work breakdown structure. The WBS is the “what” in the question of who does what. Later,
team members are assigned to the work, but the first step is deciding what the work is.
This chapter will cover the process of defining and breaking down project work and schedul-
ing work tasks and milestones. It will focus on the WBS and scheduling process and the issues
involved in effective scheduling. This is important because outlining what needs to be done to
produce a project’s requirements and deliverables is a proven technique in producing a suc-
cessful project. This process of breaking down project work is a bread-and-butter function in
the project management field.
This chapter covers the definition of project work using a top-down WBS and scheduling the
work from the bottom up. It will illustrate the process and identify ways to reflect risk and
uncertainty in the scheduling process.
6.1 The Work Breakdown Structure
A WBS is a valuable description and documentation of the work involved in producing the
project deliverable. Sometimes the WBS is easy to define, but in more complex projects it is a
complicated and detailed listing of work tasks, milestones, and resources (resources include
personnel, materials, equipment, supplies, facilities, and other assets used in a project). The
WBS is the structure of the work, not the components of the product. Although some work is
directly related to product parts, the purpose of the WBS is to enable an accounting of the costs
of the project and the sequence of work activity and resource use so these can be scheduled.

workbreakdownstructureppt-130410021152-phpapp02 (1).pdf
The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) process which divides complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. A WBS breaks down projects into deliverable components that can be estimated, scheduled, and monitored more easily. It provides a framework for cost estimating, schedule development, and performance measurement. Key benefits of a WBS include accurate project organization, responsibility assignment, cost/schedule estimation, and stakeholder understanding of project scope. The document outlines the process of developing a WBS using inputs like the project scope statement and tools like decomposition, then creating outputs such as the WBS dictionary and scope baseline. Common pitfalls to avoid are improper task detail levels and including activities instead of deliverables.
Workbreakdownstructureppt 130410021152-phpapp02
The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) process which divides complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. A WBS breaks down projects into deliverable components that can be estimated, scheduled, and monitored more easily. It provides a framework for cost estimating, schedule development, and control. Developing a WBS involves identifying deliverables, decomposing high-level tasks, and assigning responsibilities to ensure all work is captured accurately. The WBS helps define project scope, assign roles, track progress, and manage costs and risks.
Work Breakdown Structure Aritrya Kumar.pptx
The document discusses the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which breaks a project down into smaller, more manageable tasks. There are two types of WBS - deliverable-based and phase-based. A deliverable-based WBS clearly shows the relationship between project deliverables and scope, while a phase-based WBS uses typical project phases for the top level. The document outlines the steps to create a WBS, including gathering documents, identifying deliverables, decomposing work, and creating a WBS dictionary. Finally, it discusses how the WBS is used for planning, scheduling, cost estimating, and monitoring and controlling project work.
Chapter 3
The document describes the five project management process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It discusses how activities from each process group map to the nine knowledge areas and how organizations develop their own IT project management methodologies. The document also presents a case study of a company applying the process groups to manage an IT project and provides examples of key documents used.
Project Life Cycle final.pptx
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.

4. Although no historian doubts the importance of the reign of Napoleon in European (and even world) history, they do argue over the interpretation of these events. For example, they are torn on the role Napoleon played in the Revolution. Some argue that he continued the spirit of the Revolution, despite creating an Empire. Others believe he murdered it. Some include Napoleon's reign as a stage of the actual Revolution, while others consider it its own separate event. What do you think? Do you think Napoleon continued and spread the Revolution? Or do you think he destroyed its ideals when creating his empire? Do you think his reign should qualify as a separate historical event from the Revolution? Or was it simply another stage in a long process?

The most interesting thing about this chapter is that it helps people and scholars to develop skills to influence strategy in nowadays changing healthcare environment. The topic also contributes an extensive range of themes in strategies and politics, offering more complete contextual that can be in other policies textbook in the market (Mason, Leavitt, & Chaffee, 2013). The topics also entail up-to-date updates concerning conflict organization, health economics, politicization, use of media as well as working with societies for change. Reviewed copy take account of new supplement with coverage of advanced reasonably priced care act. According to this perceptions and strategies, every individual will be equipped and ready to play a leadership role under four spheres where nurses are governmentally efficient, the workstation, government, specialized organization as well as the community (American Nurses Association, 2010). The topic has helped me to know more of nursing and healthcare policies and politics.
In thus, have understood that the concept of nursing policies influences can be defined as a nursing ability to have active, effective on decision making as well as affairs connected to health care by use of power, support, and strategy capability, and establishing or strengthening images. The nursing policy and politics within a healthcare connect to my clinical practices because as a nurse, I should view myself as a professional with the ability and being responsible for influencing recent and forthcoming health care conveyance system. But to attain this, there must be the presence of policies that define and assimilate suitable standards for healthcare delivery as well as addressing essential conditions for that care to happen.

1-How does the value of individual freedom effect the ethics of our American society differently than the value of family and religious loyalty?
What are some other values of contemporary American society?
How are they in conflict with the values of the 1950's?
Is one set of values superior to another?
Why?
2-Islam means, at its root, surrender.
How does Islamic belief and practice reflect the importance of surrendering to Allah?
3-What do you think about this focus on prayer?
What is the standard of prayer in Judaism?
What about in Christianity?
What about in your own life?
Are you humbled and challenged by the knowledge that Muslims stop 5 times to pray?
4-Do you think the call to prayer is a call to obedience or a reminder for devotion?
5-Please answer this question and discuss the implications, probe for assumptions, draw out evidence and clarify perspectives.
What was the influence of Islam on the arts and sciences in its Golden Age, which is when Europe was experiencing the Medieval Period, sometimes called the Dark Ages?
6a- You mention the art form of mosaic (you called it "geometric pieces") and I want to draw the class' attention to the idea of unity in diversity within this art form.
First, the main theological point of Islam is that Allah is one.
As the Muslim scientists and artists searched to make discoveries in their given fields of study, they were constantly looking for the unity of Allah in the diversity of the creation.
The artist brought out that unity in mosaic and in textiles.
The mosaic is a pattern that is derived by putting thousands of small colored stones together to make one design.
The individual pieces of stone lose their importance within the whole, but without each piece the whole would not be complete.
So their concept of God came through in their art.
6b-How else did the Muslims bring out unity in diversity?
7a-Because they were prohibited from figures in art, the Muslims developed other art forms and calligraphy is one of those art forms.
They believed that the words of the Qur'an were beautiful (to hear and for life) so they started to write them in a beautiful way and thus calligraphy developed.
Art is one of those things that cannot be totally squelched.
If you contain an artist in one area, their emotion will burst forth in another area.
7b What do you think about the Muslims' use of calligraphy?
The Muslim religion started very rapidly.
8--Class, Based on the information about Muhammad and the early spread of Islam, what do you think was the most important factor in the amazing way that Islam grew so quickly?

Planning the ProjectThe PMBOK® Guide states that the planning .docx
- 1. Planning the Project The PMBOK® Guide states that the planning process includes actions necessary to define, integrate, and coordinate all subsidiary plans into a project management plan. This implies that in bottom-up planning, the summary project plan being the consolidation of subsidiary plans is drawn independently. Based on your understanding of the project planning process, answer the following questions: Is bottom-up planning appropriate or should the project plan be developed top-down by developing the subsidiary plans based on the documentation (charter and scope statement) that has been produced to this point? Explain. Is there any other approach you would recommend? List the nine components of planning sequences for software project planning. Any successful project plan must contain nine key elements. List these items and briefly describe the composition of each. Describe the "even planning process" and explain why it is helpful. What is shown on a linear responsibility chart? How is it useful to a project manager? In what ways may the WBS be used as a key document to monitor and control a project?
