There are different methods of cost estimation. In Ka-Pow project we have used the bottom up estimating. In bottom up estimate find out the cost of the work packages and then add them up to get the cost for the entire project. It is important to estimate the cost correctly otherwise it will put the project at a risk. It is very important to involve the SMEs in the cost planning also to get the accurate estimate for the cost.
Human service workers need to be prepared for all situations, and have feedback on how well their programs are working. Typically, the next step in the program planning process is to evaluate the program. It is necessary to have a program evaluation because it brings the results to light. In order to meet the well defined goals and objectives of program planning, it is essential for human service programs to have feedback on the effectiveness of the services they are providing so they can continue to satisfy their consumers. Program evaluation is needed so workers can remove anything from their program that was not needed, or add more attention to another direction of the program.
When prioritizing investments, it is vital that they are characterized and determined accordingly. Risk Assessments will have a role in this activity. The Risk Assessment will place a ranking system as to which risks are worth protecting and how cost effective mitigation will be. The issue with this activity is that some vital risks can be overlooked due to differing opinions. It also must be approved at the end of the activity to verify if it is done correctly.
Below you will find detailed information that describes how we will manage each of these concerns. Project Schedule Accuracy Our project development structure depends on the details contained within the Project Schedule which is why we need to assure that the schedule is as accurate as possible at all times, that there are control measurements in place to monitor and manage changes to the schedule and that our project activities, processes, and phases are defined within the schedule and have an estimated time frame for completion as accurate as possible. As we all know projects are susceptible to confront changes which make it difficult sometime for Project Managers to estimate or predict an exact time frame for a particular activity or task. Also, we know how this can be of difficulty especially when we have activities that are dependent upon another in order to be executed. Each of them has their own dependencies and
When goals are supported by plans then it is possible to help the team to reach the target which is deliver quality standards to customers. We need to first break the goals into smaller achievable, measurable steps. We need the members to be clear about the actions they need to take in order to achieve the goals, the goals that involves customer service, objectives and standards has to be clear. Time frame, milestones and deadlines has to be identified. Specific roles will have to be given to individual team members and allocate resources that help goals to be achieved.
STR 581 Capstone Final Examination, Part One 1. Because practical considerations make job tryouts for all candidates infeasible, it is necessary to __________ the relative level of job performance for each candidate on the basis of available information. • predict • accept • assign • abandon 2. Some studies indicate the best approach for transformational change may have the chief executive officer create an atmosphere for change • but let others decide how to initiate change • and begin establishing a vision • but carefully set limits for the program • and establish a reward system 3. Which of the following is a desirable strategy for managers aiming to reduce the negative consequences
In order to do so each individual needs to make sure that they are doing their part. Communication is very important and in order to make a great project everyone needs to communicate and issues they may be having such as being late, have problem with the assignment, making sure that if you are going to be late for a meeting you let the assigned team leader know. If you are having trouble with the work let someone know we are here for each other and need one another to be successful. The potential barriers to making sure that our goals are met would be if a team member does not let anyone know what is going on. The way we will overcome this is if a member doesn’t take the steps need to correct the issues this is ground for termination and the team will have no choice but to move on without said individual.
Warren needs to figure out what is the least and most important to him when comes to cost, time and performance. Then a work breakdown structure must be created to breakdown deliverables into work packages. These work packages should then be assigned to internal Can Go employees as well as outside resources if necessary. This will allow all Can Go to monitor project progress. Communication and risk management plan should also be created to respectively ensure open communication among appropriate individuals and mitigate possible issues that may arise during the project.
Opportunity: Threat: May cause unnecessary confusion - Rollins to establish/implement status update meetings to ensure team is on success track Strength: A good timeline will hold everyone accountable to goals. Weakness: Waste of time in meetings. Opportunity: Threat: May lead to confrontation among sites. - Rollins to add evaluation metrics for performance review Strength: Team members will know what key metrics they are working towards. If you know what you are being judged on, you will consciously make an effort to exceed in those areas.
Time, cost and how it will reflect on the employees are equally important and should be used as guiding principles to ensure the most appropriate actions are enforced. Thinking Tools and Techniques in Simulation Nancy believes that the simulation requires a person to determine with urgency the importance of a problem. Regarding which
