you are the project manager of a software upgrade

Since metrics keep stakeholders in tune to the health of a project, metrics must be a clear and truthful representation of project status. Consider this scenario.

You are the project manager of a software upgrade project for the human resources (HR) department of a major import/export company. In order to complete the software upgrade, hardware must be replaced in your company location in Brazil, but the Albany, NY, and San Antonio, TX, locations already have the appropriate hardware in place. The client has authorized a budget of $95,000 and wants the software ready in all locations in six months when the licensing on the current software expires.

Your Assistant Vice President (AVP) of the information technology (IT) department has called you in to discuss the project and asks you to put together a set of metrics that will communicate the project status to her, to the local IT teams, the hardware vendor, and any other stakeholders. Your AVP has asked to meet again in three days with your recommendation which you must be able to defend.

Prepare your metrics of project health and be ready to defend the following:

  • how many metrics you will use and why that is the “right” number,
  • what the metrics are that you have chosen and why,
  • explain that you will use both quantitative and qualitative metrics what they are and why,
  • explain how and when you’ll get the data,
  • what metrics will allow you to find mistakes early enough in the project for correction, and,
  • explain which metrics will improve the HR client’s satisfaction.

Remember that metrics must have a purpose, have a baseline and target, a way to measure, a way to appropriately interpret them and a reporting structure. Be ready to defend your choices relative to those things too. You will present your ideas in a formal paper for the purposes of this class.

soc 110hm week 8 course paper

THE FILM CHOSEN FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT IS “THE HELP”

Select a film from the attached pre-approved film list (or email your instructor an alternative film title for approval) and watch the film at least once. Create a brief outline of what frames and storylines you will likely be applying, and to whom, and submit it to the Assignment box. (This Assignment box is linked to Turnitin).

Student will choose a film, present quotes from each of the colorblind racism, frames, and analyze them accordingly, in a minimum of 6 pages. As his/her critical-thinking decision-making objective, students should decide whether the societal evidence he/she reviews in the paper (a) demonstrates the typical colorblind pattern that Bonilla-Silva describes in the textbook; or (b) reveals a more progressive and/or minority pattern; or (c) some combination of the above; or (d) some other pattern not discussed in the textbook but worth exploring in future research. The student may find that the quotes he/she analyzes deliberately challenge one of the 4 frames of colorblindness in some way, and he/she can note this in the paper as well. Each paper should consider the implications of the analysis of colorblindness for the future of multiracial society. In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society’s progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy?
