Overview Objective To illustrate how project management is important & necessary not only in the acquisition of a major brand new information system, but also in the implementation of it. Topic Analysis (Please observe Appendix 2 & 3 while analyzing the following phases) • Purchasing Phase: At the very beginning, the Jefferson County School System (JCSS) went through the normal means in acquiring an information system through the “Purchasing” Acquisitional Approach: they organized “a small task force of administrators” to lead the project in July 1994, they sent out several RFPs in May 1995, got several replies, started evaluating the various vendor replies through a lengthy evaluation process, narrowed their choices down to the best 3 bidders, underwent deeper evaluations with on-site demonstrations, several more telephone interviews, visiting other demo sites, et al, and by June 1995, they finally picked a suitable vendor: DSI. In retrospect, all three vendors were competitively sufficient and satisfactorily recommended for JCSS’s needs: “Everyone seemed quite positive about all 3 vendors and their products,” and in fact, “had a difficult time deciding between the three finalists.” Regardless of which vendor they picked, it was safe to say that the purchasing process would be successful. They had acquired a wonderfully nifty system. • Implementation Phase: However, after JCSS had purchased this major new computer system, they started encountering several problems during the transferring of several individual database information systesm: the demographic information of students, class/student scheduling, attendance accounting, grade reporting and student transcript processing.

Solving Problems with Nail Polish Ankesh Madan, Stephen Gray, Tasso Von Windheim, and Tyler Maloney, are four students from North Carolina State University, who are potentially changing the purpose of nail polish. The four students came together at the beginning of the 2014 fall semester, to create Undercover Colors. In the article “Date Rape Drug Protector” by Natalie Ilsley, she talks about the development of the product, the purpose, and how it is helping prevent crime. During the start of the fall semester, the four boys entered a local contest which challenges students to design working solutions to real world problems. The students put their brains to work, tying to brew up an idea about a problem going on today.
Dear Mrs Anderson and the QHS Board of Trustees, On the 21st/23rd of May our year 12 P.E/O.E class went on a 3 day tramp to Whare Flat. There was a lot of Risk Management Strategies and steps planed beforehand and during the tramp to insure the safety of the year12s, teachers and the polytechnic students that were leading the 3 day tramp. I am going to discuss and analyse these strategies and steps under the headings People, Equipment and Environment. When going on a tramp it is very important that the person or people that are leading it are experienced trampers. The 6 polytechnic students that took us tramping were all doing an outdoor adventure diploma, so this meant that they had gone on many tramps before and we qualified to take our

I had to put in the work week after week, month after month and year after year, grinding out details after details, building structure after structure to bring my vision to past. Planning was used at the beginning of the vision and each week I planned an event or something to get me closer to the goal. 1095 Prevention and Reform Foundation, LLC is a private non-profit organization whose mission is to teach our youth about the consequences of crime with an objective to help deter violent crimes and punishment from happening to a young man.
