Case Study 2: Analysis of ECO-Trans Project Jose Rodriguez Sothern New Hampshire University Professor Steven Coleman Project Definition Astrid Varga, the project manager of ECO-Trans, a European-based company renowned for its efforts to cut down fuel cost and to reduce C02 emissions. The firm deals with the provision of “driver aide” systems that are
Another business requirement is the timely delivery of quality modules and equipment by the suppliers. The main task of the project team is to install the modules and equipment on the trains. It is therefore essential that the products are procured in good time. It is the task of ECO-Trans to ensure that quality equipment is delivered in time for the completion of the project. The delivered components should be inspected for quality at the time of delivery to ensure they match the client’s quality needs and recommendations (Burke, 2013). Any defective components should be noted and returned to the supplier. This would help
Three factors define the success of any project; these are time, cost, and quality (Wysocki and RK 2013: 4). This paper identifies three main facets of project management that were inappropriately implemented, namely; Resourcing, Stakeholder Management, and Risk Management and how their improper implementation led to the violation of the three constraints (i.e. time, cost, and quality).
M1 Produce an environmental audit, and report assessing the potential environmental impact of the proposed project on the local Natural Environment.
Hi Catherien, For the case 1, replacing aging air traffic system, I completely agree with the waterfall approach. Since this is considered a large project which would involve multiple vendors' contribution to the project, waterfall method seems be the right fit. In addition, I agree with the fact that the whole project will be in hands of the project manager. Therefore, success or failure of the project would fall on the project manager. Due to my limited knowledge on air traffic system, I assume such project would involve proper defined requirements, designs, implementations, and testing since safety of passengers are at stake. Therefore, any hiccups throughout the project would come back to the project manager. I also agree with your point
A PROJECT ANALYSIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHANNEL TUNNEL 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Channel Tunnel is one of Europe's biggest infrastructure projects ever. The 50.45km long tunnel has fulfilled this old dream by linking Britain and the rest of Europe. The idea of a fixed link between Britain and France was first mooted

The project will be managed using a modified waterfall technique. In this approach, the initial two phases of the
Sustainability/CSR Project – SP17 BA 342 Wai Yi Karen Lam Introduction: Discover Financial Services, Inc. (DFS) is an American direct banking and electronic payment services company which was founded in 1985.

Regarding its latest annual report, DFS had a network sales volume of $312 billion, including $118 billion from Discover card sales and a net income of $2.3 billion in 2015.
The rigid methods employed by the Waterfall approach makes it easy to manage because the team cannot move onto the next stage if all of the
Elements belonging to KPC transposon Tn4401, including tnpA, tnpR, ISKpn6, and ISKpn7 (14), were identified by PCR and sequencing on both KPC-3–encoding plasmids originating from Kpn1 and Eco2. These genetic determinants were absent in the susceptible Eco1. These data suggest that Eco1 has acquired pKpQIL from Kpn1 in the patient’s gut, leading to the formation of Eco2. Although acquisition of the plasmid increased MICs for imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem considerably, it did not confer full resistance (Appendix Table) presumably due to copy number of the plasmid or the expression level of blaKPC-3 in E. coli. Curing of pKpQIL from Eco2 was performed by sequential transfers at an elevated temperature (42°C). The cured strain, which lacked the KPC-encoding plasmid, showed full susceptibility to all antimicrobial drugs tested, similar to the Eco1 strain isolated from the patient’s gut flora.
Case Study 3: Primavera Gets Agile Eustace Langley CIS 525 August-25-2014 Dr. Gideon U. Nwatu Strayer University Case Study 3: Primavera Gets Agile TABLE OF CONTENT Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………....…..3 Identify the problems with Primavera’s development organization prior to its adoption of agile strategies…………………………………………………………………………………….…….4 Analyze if agile techniques should be considered in solving Primavera’s problems. Support your response……………………………………………………………………………………………5 Identify and evaluate Primavera’s strategies and steps on adopting agile methodologies………..6 Identify the challenges and obstacles Change management is a very painful process and it often erupted into argument. Analyze if agile techniques should be considered in solving Primavera’s problems. Support your response Agile techniques should be used to solve the current issues faced by the company as agile techniques normally being used by the software industry help the business to act in response under the unpredictable situations faced. In Agile methodologies opportunities are been provided to evaluate whether the project is under the direction all through its development cycle. All this is being accomplished with the help of regular tempo kept in work, and the teams must show a product which is having the desired potential.
1) This is a three part question on the topic of agile project management as applied to Data Warehousing: A). List the key issues stressed by an agile philosophy of software engineering Answer: The Agile development focuses on the interaction and coordination among
The facilitating processes during Project Execution and Control can be: * Quality Assurance and Quality Control. * Performance Monitoring. * Information Distribution or Status Reporting. * Project Administration. * Risk Monitoring and Control. * Scope Control. * Schedule and Cost Control. * Contract Administration. Project Execution and Control Phase has a direct correlation to project progress and stakeholder 's expectations. If the minor issues are not noticed, they impact cost, schedule and risk and see the project from the Project Plan, thus
Compliance of the Project Team: The project team must comply with their project managers (and the timeline) or else there can be delays leading to the issues mentioned above.
