Project Introduction Powerpoint
A project is defined as an undertaking designed to achieve specific objectives within a given budget and time period. Projects provide benefits like building organizational capacity but also carry risks requiring time, effort and money. Effective project design follows a rational process answering key questions about objectives, current status, strategies for achieving objectives, and evaluating outcomes. Defining the problem or need is the first step, such as addressing the need to retrain and reskill an aging Romanian workforce.
Project assurance - make sure your projects delivers as expected

The goal is to move reporting from past explanations to future-focused steering to ensure projects deliver as expected.
OODA for businesses
Planning and Execution within a Management Learning Cycle that creates Advantage
Successful organizations understand that no plan or passes the test of time and unknowns. Great decision makers understand that a plan is useless until it isn’t acted upon. Organizations, like people, learn through practice and application. Actions beget outcomes – not plans. Successful organizations do not waste precious time trying to capture every last risk, assumption and obstacle in a detailed plan rather they favor a flexible plan that accepts large amounts of unknowns but retains flexibility and smaller quicker decisions where they can observe their environment, orient themselves within the context of that environment, recommend and make decisions to affect outcomes that lead to success, and act to shore up success. Successful organizations are adept at this Observe Orient Decide Act process. They understand that failure is caused as much by complexity, indecision and poor timing as it is by unanticipated variables – therefore they conclude that it is better to Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act --quickly (OODAq).

• TIPS
• The KEYWORD is “YOUR.” This question does not refer to the Current Strategic Posture, this question refers
to your strategy under the Strategic Alternatives section

Project managment fundamentals
This document discusses the key steps and concepts for initiating a project:
1) Define the problem statement, goals, objectives and success criteria to provide clarity around the purpose and expected outcomes of the project.
2) Develop a strategy to solve the problem and gather requirements to understand what needs to be delivered.
3) Identify stakeholders, their roles, and obtain approval on project scope and charter to launch the project with support and buy-in.
Introduction to Project Management (workshop) - v.1
This document provides an introduction to project management concepts. It begins with introductions from the presenter and the audience. It then defines key project management terms like project, project management, stakeholders, roles, scope, requirements, deliverables, change, risk and lessons learned. It discusses the triple constraints of scope, time and cost. It also outlines the typical project lifecycle phases of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling and closing. The document concludes with discussing next steps like certifications and tools to use in project management.
Preparing for your annual review
This document provides guidance for employees preparing for their annual performance review. It discusses evaluating your own performance over the past year, including progress made, barriers faced, job satisfaction, and level of challenge. Employees are instructed to create career development plans with measurable and time-bound performance goals for the coming year. The document also provides tips for self-review, setting goals, and making the most of the actual performance review meeting.
jta_how_to_write_a_project_proposal.ppt
The document provides guidance on how to write an effective project proposal. It outlines that a proposal should define the specific objectives and technical approach of the project, and answer whether the problem is important enough to justify the project. It recommends including components like an introduction, objectives, activities timeline, and evaluation plan. The objectives should be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). A strong proposal also includes a logic model and budget that clearly justify the requested resources. The proposal should demonstrate the project's relevance, feasibility, and be based on research rather than overly ambitious or lacking clear ideas.

Week Eight - Introduction to Hardware
This document provides an introduction to computer hardware components important for game platforms, including:
- The CPU, its clock speed, cache, bus, and role in executing instructions. Examples of console CPU speeds are given.
- Computer memory types (RAM, ROM, etc.) and their purpose in allowing faster access to files than hard disks.
- Graphics processors offload graphic rendering from the CPU. Examples of the Xbox 360 and PS3 GPUs are outlined.
- Power supplies provide electrical current internally and their wattage depends on components like the GPU.
Week Nine - Further Hardware
This document provides an introduction to computer game hardware, focusing on storage and display technologies. It discusses how storage has evolved from cartridges to CD/DVD media to flash memory, with each having advantages like storage capacity, loading speed, and cost. It also examines built-in and external displays, noting that built-in screens are powered internally while external displays require additional power and interfaces. The document closes by exploring sound hardware like sound cards and how game audio has advanced from single tones to full orchestral scores due to hardware and software improvements.
Week Two - Game Platforms
This document provides an overview of different game platforms, including arcade, console, and PC platforms. It discusses the history and key aspects of arcade platforms such as their exterior casing, coin operation, and use of ROM chips to store games. It then covers the transition to home console platforms which allowed gaming without coins and used cartridges or optical discs. The document notes limitations of consoles and advantages of PC platforms, such as graphics capabilities and ability to modify games. It questions some limitations of PC platforms.
Week Three - Game Platforms
This document discusses various computer game platforms and technologies. It covers handheld devices, how they work and have evolved over time to include improved capabilities. Mobile phones are highlighted as a major handheld platform that started with simple games like Snake and Tetris but now supports advanced titles like Call of Duty. It also discusses how games can be played on televisions through cable/satellite providers or plug-and-play consoles, with these options providing casual games for audiences of all ages at low cost. Limitations of mobile and television games are shorter length and size compared to console and PC games.
Week One - Introduction
This document provides an introduction and history of computer games and gaming platforms. It discusses the origins of video games in the 1940s-1960s on mainframe computers. Video games then diverged into arcade, mainframe, console, PC and handheld games. The document outlines the 7 generations of gaming consoles from the 1970s to present, including key consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, NES, SNES, PlayStation and discusses some important early games. It aims to provide background on the games industry.
Week Four - Operating Systems
This document discusses computer game platforms, technologies, and operating systems. It begins by recapping platforms like arcade, console, PC, mobile, and television that were covered previously. It then defines an operating system as software that provides an interface between hardware and applications, allowing them to communicate. Different operating systems are dependent on specific hardware architectures. The document outlines the history of operating systems from early machines with no OS to modern graphical user interfaces. It compares operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, and those for handheld and mobile devices. Finally, it mentions device drivers and software elements as part of an upcoming assignment.
Week Five - Software
Remainder of the Software material covered, discussing Sound & Graphical API alongside Programming Languages
Week Two - Game Platforms (Additional Material)
Additional material focusing on the previous detailings from the past week, focus on controllers and how we play games
