Software System: A Case Study

Several design flaws made it impractical to repair and required the team to purchase a costly replacement system. Interested in saving the team some money, I offered to construct a new system for the team, one more capable than the last and with a much smaller price tag. The plan was daunting, being both a huge project and one involving other people’s money. After several weeks of design, my proposal was approved, and I began constructing the camera. The task started off well, but after a few weeks of work progress stalled. I had neglected to write an adequate project plan, and this lack of a clear development path coupled with insufficient testing led to the propagation of several bugs that were time-consuming to fix. I managed to avoid missing my first few deadlines, but only after several sleepless nights of non-stop work. Learning from these failures, I took the time to write more complete documentation and managed to finish the camera in time for the first game, where everything went without a

The members of team two provided readers with the standards and requirements of meaningful use stages one and two. While the assignment only called for the first two stages many were kind enough to mention all three stages to show us the complete picture of what “meaningful use” ultimate goal was which is to improve patient outcomes. I noticed that a few team members did not mention incentive pay and its attachment to “meaningful use”. Even though improving patient care is a main objective of “meaningful use” incentive pay plays a role in facilities adhering to standards and regulations. Many team members also did not mention how HL7’s standards factor into “meaningful use”. HL7 standards have seven different sections that support facilities

Though the change in timeline could not have been preemptively avoided, a stronger push throughout this project to get done sooner could have helped. Projects have timelines to give guidance, sometimes people view them inadvertently as restriction that limit the project to that same timeline. An open effort on accomplishing the project early is a better way to get a better scope of a project.

With the implementation of new software systems or new methods of performing tasks, there is often some level of resistance. Properly introducing the new idea, its feasibility and purpose is a necessary aspect of getting one’s current staff onboard and in cooperation with the plan. They need to understand the importance of system implementation and its implication on their daily performance of patient care. Nursing is an ever-evolving profession, one with many facets of care. Nurses must constantly adapt to changes in their daily working habits. A nature of commitment to new ways of working is vital to the delivery of safe and efficient healthcare. However, emotions can inhibit the way change is accepted. “Implementing sustainable and meaningful change means supporting each individual to find value in new ways of working” (Bowers, 2011, para. 1). Unexpected change lends itself to uncertainty, and fear of the unknown. Therefore, being able to identify reasons for resistance, and working to quell these levels of resistance are important in a constructive manner, this helps with progression.

The computer system comes with many different kind of software utilities which help the user to maintain and improve the computer system performance.

The balance to find is where the increase in cost justifies the end product, and that the lateness associated with that does not cause indirect costs to rise. At this point we can agree to allow a change in scope and convince the client to accept most of the projected overrun. New estimates and budgets are drawn up, the client is apprised of the situation. The client has a lot into the project at this point. With new dollars allocated to the project we'll explore some of the following

I have many goals in mind for my life. I want to graduate university, possibly go to graduate school, and obtain a career in which I am happy and satisfied. Yes, I know this sounds very cliché as many people want to obtain this kind of life. I don’t mind obtaining a “normal” happy life as long as I am happy with it. I am familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and I want to make sure I fulfill my lower needs before I start trying to achieve my goals. I have never actually applied the GIOADA process to my decision making in the past. After reading the document that describes the GIOADA process, I will start applying this process to future decisions I make in life. Also, as I look back at some of the big decisions I made

Set an ambitious but not overly optimistic target completion date, according to resources invested and management’s targets. In case of delays, readjust target completion date.

Sydney is a candidate who is looking to get back into an industry similar to the one she was in when she worked at Bank of America. She and her husband relocated from Spokane to Portland and since that time she has been working a part time position at a spa but misses the environment she had while at Bank of America. She was responsible for assisting customers and any issues they may have with their account(s) whether it was a personal or business account. Sydney was also responsible for ensuring that drawers were balanced, monthly goals for the branch were being met, and partnering with the branch manager in any other item that was needed. She has a passion for details and enjoys problem solving.

My team had only a few weeks to come up with a new execution plan to get us back on track. After many brainstorming meeting sessions, we realized that there are two main reasons for the delay in execution. The primary

Their product expectations are clear, each part of the venture know about their undertakings and are working tenaciously keeping in mind the end goal to meet their objective which is delivery on time. This conveys me to scope creep which is non-existent in this project. All group capacities have a reasonable thought of what they are doing and include clear expectations inside set timeframes. This isn't a given in all venture, and that this task has all these reasonable objectives, is a quality. Their expectations, or launch date, is set to August 2009. Each group in the project has a solid specialized aptitude in their individual areas. This gives the venture the essential useful quality to complete the vital undertakings, albeit a few difficulties have emerged in designing as for fittings of a display it appears like they have the fundamental brainpower to settle

2. What are the alternatives and what should be done to get the project back on schedule?

Currently BMB Medical Center there is a dire need for mobile access to our patients. Previously, all patients are required to register with the receptionist, provide insurance information and schedule appointments with one of our receptionists. Currently, we are using an outdated legacy system that was developed by a company that we outsource our IT services with. However, with the system we are able to conduct basic performance and with technology changing we discovered that we are losing money and should obtain new equipment, services and provide a two-way system that helps us to function better and provide feedback from our patients. In addition, this would be a major overhaul as to how the clinic functions. We currently

Due to the one month delay, all participants of the project need to meet in one big meeting to set targets, how to catch up the schedule in order to complete the project on time. Everybody at the meeting needs to know how serious the situation is and that everybody has to work harder to recover the lost time. The management of the company can implement awards to give incentives for people who would like to benefit from the extra work.

Miller Incorporated is a data collection and analysis company that was started roughly 2 years ago. The company has enjoyed steady growth as a result of its innovative products and it currently has twenty employees. 4 are members of the information technology (IT) department, 7 are administrative personnel, 5 are support personnel and 2 are managerial staff. The company's innovative and appealing services include data collection through web analytics which is then combined with operational systems data. The company looks forward to continued growth which is expected to reach 60% over the next 18 months. The company has constantly looked for ways to leverage data collected and looks to ensure that the IT infrastructure is able to handle the expected growth. The purpose of this project plan is to present the detailed requirement of the organization as it looks forward to achieving this growth. It will also help to execute and control the expansion plan and facilitate communication among project stakeholders.
