Exploring Data Sources And Gathering Appropriate Information

This is to ensure that the necessary raw materials and physical resources are available at each stage, and that the workforce on site has the right skills for the scheduled work. The project management team will need to produce a series of planning documents that can be accessed throughout the project. Each member of the project management team must know their role and responsibilities, including which sections of the workforce they will be directly managing.

Now it is your turn to demonstrate your fluency and understanding of these concepts in applying your knowledge from simple through to complex application in real life and theoretical contexts.

Not including alphabetic characters in a Social Security Number field is an example of _____.

Exploratory data analysis is a process that allows investigation of each variable to be examined for the population or events of interest (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). Descriptive variables are utilized to describe the characteristics of a population or collection of events (Sylvia & Terhaar, 2014). The descriptive variables utilized in the case study regarding older community-dwelling patients with diabetes are age, gender, race, morbidity level, and chronic disease conditions. The descriptive data provides a detailed image of the population of participating in the study.

This report is based off a lessons learned sources document attached separately, the categories are: Issue Name, Problem/Success, Impact, and Recommendations. The Issue names are Planning/Content, Project milestones, Project Processes and Behavior. This report list failures and success of this project.

1. What were the key data collection methods used and how did they align with the focus of the research?

Since its beginning, the point system and many other parts of the L.E.E.D. certification process have been criticized by architects, building contractors, and environmental activists. Many have complained that it has too many loopholes to be put through serious consideration, and that the certification process is wasteful and ineffective at achieving true green credibility. As a result, the USGBC has continued to modify the L.E.E.D. certification process. There are five rating systems that address multiple project types. Firstly is Building Design and Construction (BD+C). This system applies to buildings that are being newly constructed or going through a major renovation. Some examples of major renovation are new construction, core and shell, retail, schools, hospitality, data centers, warehouse and distribution centers, and health care. Secondly is Interior Design and Construction (ID+C), This system applies to projects that are a complete interior fit-out; like commercial interiors, retail, and hospitality. Thirdly is Building Operations and Maintenance (O+M). This system applies to existing buildings that are undergoing improvement work or little to no construction. These types of maintenance include existing buildings, schools, retail, hospitality, data centers, warehouse and distribution centers. Fourthly is Neighborhood Development (ND), This system applies to new land development projects or redevelopment projects containing residential uses,

The overall budget for the scope of work stated above is $159,955.29. This is contracted on a cost-plus-fee contract. Component evaluation will be used to monitor and evaluate this project throughout the project’s life cycle. An outcome evaluation will be done after the project’s closing cycle. The monitoring and evaluating plan shall consist of, but not limited to:

This section consists of a suite of potential options broken out by sample phases. While it may be useful for grantees to consider these deliverables in designing their project, the particular suite of deliverables and the organizational structure that is ultimately incorporated will be project-specific. The grantee may also ask the Vendor to provide cost estimates on a per-deliverable basis in the bid response.

I will consider the project dates stated in question 3 for this question and also consider that

In order to answer this question it is assumed that a comprehensive procurement process was undertaken identifying the clients stated objectives and constraints. Any references to project particulars, objectives and constraints within this answer have been assumed based on my experience of similar client objectives in a design and build scenario.

It is clear to see that throughout the project the tasks and progress were monitored very closely. The project is heavily dependent on the resources provided by its shareholders and in turn they rely on regular updates to reassure them on their investment. In the construction and building industry the methods and application of project management tools are very reliable and well tested. Therefore, it could benefit the project if the it was managed with detailed and defined practises and also follow standards set and agreed upon on a international level.

For the initial phase of this exploratory study regarding completion rates, data sets are available through different internet sources that contain all ex post rates. These data sets are publicly available. The first phase will utilize extant data. To attain traditional college completion rates, the National Center for Education Statistics has data sets available for download that can be customized. Since MOOCs are available internationally, the most appropriate data set for this particular quantitative research would include college completion rates by country as a starting point. Additionally, an overall average can be extracted from this data. This would give us the average completion rate for traditional colleges. The next step would be to gather data for MOOC completion rates. Using internet searches there is information available at Class Central. Class Central has complied completion data for all courses offered by Coursera, EdX, and Udacity, which are the three main platforms for MOOCs. The enrollment and completion data for each course have been recorded. Completion is defined by finishing all the requirements necessary for a certificate. Other data, such as course length, institution ranking, and active users, are also recorded on these data sets. This data set includes courses over the span of eighteen months. This information will assist in answering the primary research question: how do MOOC completion rates vary

Digging information from a database sometimes requires creating complicated queries. Often a simple select * from . . . is nested into another one and both into another one and so forth until the result becomes a very complicated query containing scalar queries (subqueries in the select clause) and in-line views (subqueries in the from clause). Such queries are difficult to read, hard to maintain, and a nightmare to optimize.

The company was able to complete the project in 23 months itself. Latista field software helped them to decrease time, staffing needs, changes or error and improve collaboration. Thousands of punch lists issues were managed in only three weeks. Project was delivered in the budget of $611 million. Clark employees were amazed with the ease of information management due to Latista software. Data entry was reduced which helped the construction company optimize the staffing needs on the job. Moreover, report turnaround became easier from normal 3 days to within a day. Overall, Clark construction was completely satisfied about their choice of using Latista software to allow paperless and faster information processing throughout the project timeline.
