It is very important to involve the SMEs in the cost planning also to get the accurate estimate for the cost. After the budget is planned it is critical to monitor and control the project’s cost. Earned value analysis helps monitoring the project cost. Monitoring the project cost against the actual cost provides the project manager how to handle the rest of the project. The sooner the issues have been caught the sooner it has been taken care.
Also the knowledge and skills necessary to complete their job effectively. 1.2 It is important to reflect on work activities so that you are able to develop on your own knowledge and skills. Thinking things through and reflecting on a day at work will help you to pick up on things that you may be able to improve upon in future. You can also learn from any errors that you may have made. Sometimes when you remove yourself from a situation and reflect on it, you are able to find gaps and room for improvement in preparation for next time.
• Reflecting on work activities in an important way to develop knowledge, skills and practice enables us to reach our goals, achieve a better understanding of ourselves, self-awareness, strengths and weaknesses. To be able to reflect on how individuals are doing to transfer theoretical knowledge to practice. The things that I know or what I don’t know, how to achieve some goals, achievements and where I need to improve. 1.3 Describe ways to ensure that personal attitudes or beliefs do not obstruct the quality of work • The ways to ensure that personal attitudes or beliefs do not obstruct the quality of work is to find out about individual history, attitudes, beliefs, promote empathy and be professional at work, by not posing my beliefs to others as they have a right to their own beliefs. 2.
To define a project scope, you must first identify the following things: • Project objectives • Goals • Sub-phases • Tasks • Resources • Budget • Schedule in the case of Red, it is the responsibility of the project manager to clearly communicate what the project is, who requires it, why, what is it designed to achieve, resources available, who will be involved and who will be affected by the end result. The scope of the project outlines the objectives of the project and the goals that need to be met. Once the scope has been defined, the project manager can put together their team and be sure that the people with the most relevant skills are in the right roles. Q2. For each of the stakeholder groups in the following list, identify who within the organisation fits into these categories and why they are important in the context of the project?
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.
Management of change should be an area of focus throughout the life of an IT project. It is important that the commitment and support (by senior management) be cascaded down throughout
Policy Process Shannon M. Rivera HCS/455 November 15, 2013 Nathan Aish, MPH RSA Policy Process There are four stages in the public policy process. One must identify the problem and the individuals affected, formulate, implement and then evaluate the policy. Modifications will be addressed during the evaluation stage. The legislative stage will also be discussed. These stages must be followed in the proper order for the policy to be completed properly and successful.
The risk management plan should include the following Risk Identification: This is the first step in risk analysis. KFF needs to identify risks associated with the implementation of chosen strategy. Some of the risks are poor planning, insufficient resources, lack of management commitment. Alternatives Analysis: A risk analysis is not sound if other risks alternatives are not explored. Alternatives may include the implementation of an effective strategic plan and developing a planning system/ Contingencies Poor Planning: KFF will need to make use of any of the implementation software for effective planning.
In addition, using Critical Path Analysis (CPA) benefitted the planning process in assisting in development of a sound plan. CPA identifies those tasks that must be completed on time in order for the entire project to be finished on time. CPA also shows us which tasks can be delayed should resources need to be reallocated due to other tasks’ delays. “The disadvantage of CPA, if you use it as the technique by which your project plans are communicated and managed against, is that the relation of tasks to time is not as immediately obvious as with Gantt Charts. This can make them more difficult to understand.” (Cosmato, 2011) The resources consists of our entire team in most areas with final decisions being made during our weekly meetings.
After completing a risk assessment it will enable all concerned to think about potential hazards in situations and activities and how to minimize the risks. Being able to choose what you want to do and what risks are involved and how to avoid them is being in control of your life. It is important that concerns about risks don't get in the way of individuals living their life in the way that they wish to. Using a risk assessment can show you ways to do something you thought you couldn't do, just in a different way. To maintain as much independance as is possible.
