Here are potential responses to the questions posed:
1. If a specific resource is concurrently allocated to more projects, the balance of the modified scope triangle would be disrupted. As more demands are placed on a limited resource, one or more sides of the triangle would need to flex to accommodate the situation. As project manager, I would proactively manage resource availability and communicate resource constraints to stakeholders. If overallocation occurred, I would work with program management to reallocate resources or obtain additional resources to get the projects back in balance without compromising scope, cost or schedule.
2. As a program manager, I could potentially bring about cost savings by leveraging economies of scale across the portfolio of projects. For example, negotiating volume discounts for

Course Project
Part 1 – Building Your Project Plan
You and your project team must develop a new project (product or service oriented) for your organization. Company Background
Tell the story (who, what, when, where, how) of the company or organization for which this project is being done.
· Who founded this company? Who are its leaders?
· What does this company make or do? What is its target market? What is its financial performance?
· When was the company founded? Where was/is it located?
· How does the company operate? How effective is the company in its industry? How are its competitors placed in the market?
If using a company website, be sure to cite the source!Current Process
What is the current process or existing scenario for accomplishing the company’s goals? In other words, how does the company conduct business? If, for example, it is a construction business building new homes, what would be the process that encompasses the company’s procedure from advertising through getting customers, doing the project and closing out the project deliverable. This current process might be something like:
1) Receive customer specifications
2) Design preliminary floor plan and elevation
3) Send preliminary documents to customer
4) Receive and execute customer changes
5) Create bid for customer contract
6) Run bid through technical and legal departments
7) Ship bid to customer
8) Follow up with customer
9) Negotiate details of bid acceptance
10) Build the negotiated architectural design
11) Oversee construction budget
12) Deliver agreed upon product to customer
13) Receive payment
14) Close out project using lessons learned approach
Your project must fit within the framework of the company’s business. In other words, if the company builds single family residences, your project would not be for an office building. It must be related to a specific type of single family home/townhouse. Project Overview
The project overview is a report on the project undertaking and a discussion of the general situation management finds itself in. This provides important context for the project management team to use in determining methods, approaches, and timeframes, as well as a scope.
For example, if building a new home, you should state whether it will have one or two stories, three or four bedrooms, and any other rooms that are to be included. There may be important details regarding the lot, area of town, and other issues such as landscaping. Be as detailed as possible, since this will assist the instructor in understanding and ultimately approving your project based on his/her belief that you have a viable project topic for a team of 3-4 persons. Objectives
Objectives describe concrete outcomes that a project will meet so as to be deemed a success. Goals need to be described as specifically as necessary-but no more specifically than that. The purpose is not to artificially constrain the project but to limit the project to as wide a range of acceptable outcomes as ...

Management responsibilities involve the planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, and directing of people and
activities that will ultimately achieve the objectives parlayed within the organizational goals. Controlling is
actually a measurement function, which allows for evaluation and ultimate corrections that lead to ongoing
improvement and innovation within the organization. Directing suggests that the leader is actually
implementing the plans and involves several steps.

Title
Once this structure has been established, managers must journey through the concepts of power, authority,
and responsibility. The ideal situation is that a project manager would have both the responsibility and
authority to complete the task, but many times, they have the authority but not necessarily the formal power.
This creates a void in their effectiveness unless they can utilize other influences such as those indicated in
the interactive slide below.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

2. Definition
A project is a sequence of unique,complex,and connected activities that have
one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time,
within budget, and according to specification
An activity is a defined chunk of work.
The activities in a project must be unique.
Connectedness implies that there is a logical or technical relationship
between pairs of activities.
Projects must have a single goal.
Projects have a specified completion date.
Projects also have resource limits,such as a limited amount of people,
money,or machines that are dedicated to the project.
A program is a collection of related projects.Unlike projects, programs can
have many goals.
3. Five Constraints
The following five constraints operate on every project:
Scope
Quality
Cost
Time
Resources
4. Scope
Scope is a statement that defines the boundaries of the
project. It tells not only what will be done but also what will
not be done. In the information systems industry, scope is
often referred to as a functional specification.In the engineering
profession, it is generally called a statement of work.
5. Quality
The following two types of quality are part of every project:
Product Quality
Process Quality
6. Cost
The dollar cost of doing the project. It is best thought of as
the budget that has been established for the project.The first
consideration occurs at an early and informal stage in the life
of a project.
7. Time
The client specifies a time frame or deadline date within
which the project must be completed.To a certain extent,
cost and time are inversely related to one another.The time a
project takes to be completed can be reduced, but costs
increase as a result.
Time is an interesting resource. It can’t be inventoried. It is
consumed whether you use it or not.
8. Resources
Resources are assets such as people,equipment,physical facilities,or
inventory that have limited availabilities, can be scheduled, or
can be leased from an outside party
10. Managing the Creeps
Scope Creep
Scope creep is the term that has come to mean any change in the project that was not in the
original plan. Change is constant.To expect otherwise is simply unrealistic.
Hope Creep
Hope creep happens when a project team member falls behind schedule but reports that he or
she is on schedule, hoping to get back on schedule by the next report date.
Effort Creep
Effort creep is the result of the team member working but not making progress proportionate
to the work expended.
Feature Creep
Closely related to scope creep is feature creep.Feature creep results when team members
arbitrarily add features and functions to the deliverable that they think the client
would want to have.
11. Applying the Scope Triangle
The scope triangle will have at least two major applications:
Scope Change Impact Analysis
The major application of the scope triangle is as an aid in the preparation
of the Project Impact Statement.This is a statement of the alternative
ways of accommodating a particular scope change request of the client.
Problem Resolution
The scope triangle enables you to ask the question,‘‘Who owns what?’’
The answer will give you an escalation pathway from project team to
resource manager to client.The client and senior management own time,
budget, and resources.The project team owns how time, budget, and
resources are used.
12. The Importance of Classifying Projects
Establishing a Rule for Classifying Projects
Characteristics
Type
Clarity and completeness of goal – (Not discussed now)
13. Characteristics
Many organizations choose to define a classification of projects based on
such project characteristics as the following:
Risk —Establish levels of risk (high, medium, and low).
Business value— Establish levels (high, medium, and low).
Length— Establish several categories (such as 3 months, 3 to 6
months,6 to 12 months, and so on).
Complexity—Establish categories (high, medium, and low).
Technology used— Establish several categories (well-established,
used occasionally, used rarely, never used).
Number of departments affected— Establish some categories (such
as one, a few, several, and all).
Cost
15. Classification by Project Type
There are many situations in which an organization repeats
projects that are of the same type. Following are some
examples of project types:
Installing software
Recruiting and hiring
Setting up hardware in a field office
Soliciting, evaluating, and selecting vendors
Updating a corporate procedure
Developing application systems
16. Questions
1. Suppose the scope triangle were modified as follows: Resource Availability occupies
the center, and the three sides are Scope, Cost, and Schedule. Interpret this triangle
as if it were a system in balance. What is likely to happen when a specific resource on
your project is concurrently allocated to more and more projects? As project
manager, how would you deal with these situations? Be specific.
2. Where would you be able to bring about cost savings as a program
manager for a company? Discuss these using the standard project constraints.
3. Discuss ways in which scope creep occurred on projects with which you have been
associated.Was the project manager able to reverse
scope creep? Is it possible to reverse scope creep? Defend your yes or no answer.
