This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Evaluate project monitoring and risk management strategies for a software development project.

TO TUTOR: THIS IS MY PROFESSOR’s SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS OR INSIGHTS HOW HE WANTS IT DONE.

Imagine that you are employed as an IT project manager by a fast-food organization. This organization operates many fast-food shops within the region and would like to promote its brand by creating a mobile application that will provide its customers with the ability to view the nearest fast-food shop location within their geographical area. mobile application development project

As a member of the software development team, you estimate a total project cost of $175,000. You have designated control points to measure project progress. At control point 2, the following data is available:

  • Budget Cost of Work Performed: $34,000.
  • Actual Cost of Work Performed: $37,500.

There are various stakeholders that are interested in the progress of the project. These stakeholders include the marketing management team (internal customers), software designers, programmers, testers, and upper management. The software development team has attempted to release a mobile application of this magnitude in the past; however, lack of sponsorship, mobile development expertise, and technical infrastructure has limited the team’s success.

Instructor Insights for Week 8 Assignment

From Instructor: This paper is similar to the Week 6 assignment. You will make a Project plan for a different scenario with some of the same information (WBS) and some new parts that were not in the Week 6 assignment.

This time, it is a fast food chain restaurant owner who wants to make a Find the Location of their nearest restaurant, creating an app to locate the closest restaurant.

Some new things, like the budget, are shared. You will need some information to use the beyond-the-scenario to enhance your project plan.

There are eight (8) questions to answer to make up this project plan.

  1. identify at least four attributes of the mobile application development project that can be measured and controlled and evaluate how each is a critical factor for the success of the project.

Attributes are parts of the project that must be completed based on the scenario. This scenario does not spell out the development, but you have all seen Apps that locate things. Use that experience to say what screens would be needed to make the content for this project.

  1. Generate a project plan summary of the various project milestones. Develop a WBS that details work packages required to complete the project scope.

 

 

Mobile Application Development Project

*** There is no format specific here for the WBS. I will take either the MS Project version of Figure 5-5 or the Table 5-4 formats. NOT THE DIAGRAM.

Either of these two methods. The level two information, as per the textbook, will be the major milestones.

I will accept any of these two formats for the WBS.

  1. Like Table 5-4 Like an outline (book calls it a Tabular format)
  2. Like Figure 5-5 MS Project format.

3. Develop a workflow model that can be used to inspect and detect defects during the acceptance of this mobile product through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio or an open-source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

This is a workflow diagram Flow chart diagram like Figure 8-8. You need to research defect detection and correction to make a plan and put it into diagram format.

  1. Describe how the defects detected during the acceptance of the mobile application should be reported and explain the circumstances in which a defect may not require reporting.

This question is research and report. You should have a bunch to write about as you made the diagram above. This a paragraph formatted about the defects detected during the “Acceptance” part of building the application. (Final testing after the program is built)

  1. Analyze the communication needs of the different project stakeholders. Explain the types of project status reports that would be useful to each.

This goes with the Discussion post for this week as well; it is the same research. Just apply it to this scenario. Different stakeholders get different communications. Look at the list of stakeholders in the scenario and what communication each will receive.

  1. Compute the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index, schedule performance index, and estimated actual cost using the information presented at control point 2. Interpret the project schedule and budget status from the calculations.

This is a calculation based on the scenario. The scenario provides some budget information for the calculations.

  1. Explain how the work package, binary tracking, and earned valued reporting can be used effectively during the maintenance phase of the software life cycle if various change requests may be assigned to individuals and processed on an individual basis.

This is a research and report question. Base the answer on the scenario. In other work, look at change requests after the project is complete (maintenance phase) and how work would be accomplished and by whom. Again, this is based on this IOS app that was created.

  1. Develop a risk register that will document all of the estimated risks. Assign one risk management technique for each risk and explain the basis for your selection.

***Just 3 to 4 risks are fine.

Look up a risk register. An example in the book is Table 11-4. Just make a spreadsheet and fill out risks that the project of building this software much face which can be technological, financial, organizational, outside factors or others.

You will also need to assign the risk management technique (a way to mitigate the risk) as part of a written answer for each risk. Short on explaining why it is a risk, how you would mitigate it, and why the mitigation would lessen or eliminate the risk.

Job Satisfaction

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Attached are several articles related to job satisfaction, emotions, attitudes, motivation and behavior.    You don’t have to use all of these articles, but you do have to go beyond the text.  Your goal is to convince me you understand these relationships and that you could talk thoughtfully to an employee or to an organization leader about proactive interventions, concerns and potential resolutions.  Use these articles as inspiration or a starting point to address the following prompts.

  • How is job satisfaction related to employee behavior and why do we care?,
  • What is the general state of job satisfaction and has it changed in the last 5 – 7 years?  If so how and why?  If not how is it the same? , Feel free to argue both sides but make sure you provide specific examples.,
  • Which of the dimensions we’ve discussed have the most impact on job satisfaction and behavior -why do you think that?  You can use anything from these articles our text lectures supplemental material personal experience or any additional research you’ve done on your own just make sure you’re providing specific examples that led to your conclusion and references as appropriate.,
  • Most importantly what should employees know about these topics (3-5 things) and what should managers know about these topics (3-5 things).  Spend most of your time and effort here.  This is the important part.
  • Other than that, include anything else you found interesting, surprising or that you just want to share.

Advice for the unmotivated

happiness traps

manage your emoitional culture

Rethink your employee value proposition

Turn the job you want

 

 

Job Satisfaction

 

 

Use additional resources as needed.

Formatting:

  • Using APA or MLA format (whichever you’re most familiar with)
  • Make sure you include an introduction and conclusion.
  • 5-ish page double spaced paper.  4.75 pages is fine, so is 6.  10 pages is not ok; neither is 3.  Cover pages and references don’t count as part of the requirement.  Some of you will look at this assignment and think it is ridiculous to fit all of that information into 5-ish pages.  You can, I promise, you just can’t include the history of the world.  Pick and choose the most important points I should know.  Think of this as practice – you’re keeping the attention of your audience.  They don’t need to know every single think you know – just the important stuff.
  • 12-point font, normal margins, no extra spaces between paragraphs to make it look longer, blah blah blah…
  • If you work with someone else, you should turn in a single document that flows like one paper.  Don’t turn in two 2.5-page papers that you stuck together five minutes before the deadline.  Make sure both names are on the document you turn in.
  • Upload a word.doc.  Please don’t send me a GoogleDoc because I can’t open them, and it makes me grumpy.
  • All submissions are run through plagiarism and AI generation detectors immediately after you hit submit.  If you think I’m going to have a problem with something you submit, it’s best to include a comment about what I’m going to find and why.  Dealing with that stuff takes a ton of time that I’m guessing neither one of us have to spend.

Ethics in Practice Case

Author By AssignmentHelp Categories Blog

Ethics in Practice Case

Dark Money and Corporate Political Spending on Campaigns

Recent election cycles have brought new challenges for corporations and their boards of directors. For example, in the 2020 presidential election campaign, candidate Joe Biden unveiled a plan to lower drug prices by letting Medicare negotiate payment for certain high-cost drugs. Yet ironically, the pharmaceutical industry was one of the most generous industry donors to the Biden campaign, as well as those of the other candidates. In fact, the health industry overall (including health professionals, hospitals, HMOs, and pharmaceutical companies) donated more than $80 million to the presidential candidates in 2020, with the pharmaceutical industry donating more to Democrats than Republicans in the lead up to the final election. In essence, the pharmaceutical companies and health-care professionals spent money to promote policies that went against their own financial interests.

This happened in congressional elections as well. In 2020, the pharmaceutical industry’s trade group, PhRMA, donated funds to nonprofit groups that used those funds to hit back on House Democrats’ plan to approve the drug pricing plan to lower prescription drug costs. Some of those funds came from firms including Pfizer, Bayer, and Merck, all manufacturers of contraceptives.

Ethics in Practice Case

Ethics in Practice Case

Political spending is also an issue with individual companies. Target Corporation, a company that had positioned itself as an LGBT-friendly corporation, found itself the target of angry employees and customers when they learned about Target’s political spending. Target, a sponsor of the annual Twin Cities Gay Pride Festival, donated money to a business group that supported an anti–gay rights candidate for Minnesota governor. Angry employees and consumers conducted protests outside Target stores and threatened a boycott.

These examples show how political spending can have dramatic consequences for corporations. Politicians take positions on a range of policies, and so the same politician may hold some positions that support and other positions that damage a corporation’s best interests. This problem was exacerbated when the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision changed the political spending landscape for corporations. Before that decision, political spending was constrained to political action committees (PACs), and PAC political activity had to be disclosed to the FEC (Federal Election Commission). Now firms can make unlimited contributions directly to candidates or indirectly to 501c4 nonprofits and trade associations, who can then hide both the donors who provided the money and the way the money was spent. These are called “Dark Money” donations, where companies and trade groups can spend millions to shape elections without revealing where their money comes from. Firms are now freer to become politically involved but, as Target and the pharmaceutical companies found out, that freedom comes with risk. Shareholders and other stakeholders are asking firms to be transparent in their political spending. They want to judge those expenditures for themselves to avoid agency problems and other conflicts of interest.

Ethics in Practice Case

The Center for Political Accountability, located in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at The Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania), annually rates leading U.S. public companies on their political disclosure and accountability policies and practices for election-related spending. Interestingly, they found that recent elections have seen much better and stronger policies of disclosure and accountability by businesses regarding their election-related spending. They commented, “Especially striking are the increases in company adoption of board oversight and more detailed committee review of political spending.” It seems that there is some upside for society, in that while the Dark Money continues to pour into campaigns, at least there is a movement toward more transparency and accountability.

Ira M. Millstein, founder of the Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership at Columbia Law School, proposed that boards of directors need to step up and institute more measures for accountability regarding corporate political spending. He suggests the following:

(1) Companies should require trade associations of which they are members to report to them on their political spending.

(2) Companies should require trade associations of which they are members to disclose the donors who provide the money for their political spending.

(3) Companies should then disclose the information they receive from their trade associations when they disclose their other spending to shareholders and other stakeholders.

Millstein’s message is clear. If businesses do not implement such measures to deal with “Dark Money,” then they must face the reputational repercussions… just like Target and other companies who may be unaware of the flow of political spending through trade groups.

Ethics in Practice Case

Questions for Discussion

  1. What is your reaction to the issue of political spending? What would you do if you were the CEO of a pharmaceutical company? Would you still belong to PhRMA? Would your membership in PhRMA have any conditions attached?
  2. What is your reaction to the Target situation? How would you handle it if you were the CEO?
  3. It seems like corporate political campaign spending is becoming more transparent. Do you agree?
  4. Should Dark Money spending be more regulated? If so, how?
  5. Do you agree with Ira Millstein? Should companies require trade associations to disclose this information before they join? Should companies then disclose the information they receive? If a trade association refuses to provide that information, should the company refuse to join?

Requirements:

  • There is no minimum or maximum required number of pages. Your analysis will be considered complete, if it addresses each of the 5 components outlined above.
  • Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. A minimum of 3-5 sources (excluding the course textbook) from scholarly articles or business periodicals is required.
  • Include your best critical thinking and analysis to arrive at your justification.
  • Approach the assignment from the perspective of the senior executive leadership of the company.

Submission: Upload/attach your completed paper to this assignment by the due date. Please see the Course Syllabus for the actual due date.

Ethics in Practice Case

Guidelines for Analyzing Cases

Problem and Issue Identification

  1. What are the central facts of the case? What assumptions are you making about these facts?
  2. What is the major overriding issue in the case? What major question or issues does this case address that merits study at this point in the course?
  3. What sub-issues or related issues are present in the case that merit consideration now?

Analysis and Evaluation

  1. Who are the stakeholders in the case, and what are their stakes? What challenges, threats, or opportunities are posed by these stakeholders?
  2. What economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities does the company have, and what is the nature and extent of these responsibilities?
  3. If the case involves company actions, evaluate what the company did or did not do in handling the issue affecting it.

Rate of Inflation & Unemployment

Author By AssignmentHelp Categories Blog

Rate of Inflation & Unemployment

Two of the biggest issues in macroeconomics are inflation and unemployment. Policymakers would like to keep both measures low. Often, however, there is a trade-off between the two. A strong economy that lowers unemployment can put upward pressure on prices. A weak economy that lowers inflation can increase unemployment.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had both very low unemployment and inflation. Then unemployment rose. In the future, unemployment and inflation could change and it’s good to have policy plans in place before either of these problems gets too bad.

Imagine that you oversee macroeconomic policy. Start your discussion by responding to these questions and explaining your answers:

  • What are some of the problems, difficulties, or hardships caused by unemployment?
  • What are some of the problems, difficulties, or hardships caused by inflation?
  • If you had to make a choice today between a policy that would head off increases in inflation or increases in unemployment, which one would you choose Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts and share your opinion about their decision.
