Tree Trimming Project

/in /by

Thomas Johnson is a timber and Christmas tree farmer who attended a Project Management class last year, during his off-season. When the subject of Earned Value came up in class he wondered if he was using EV.

In the summer Johnson hires and trains crews who work to shear fields of Christmas trees for the upcoming Holiday season. When shearing, each worker uses a large machete to shear the branches from the tree into a cone shape tree which is what most customers desire.

Thomas operates his business per the following:

  • He counts the number of Christmas trees in the field, which is approximately 24,000.
  • He agrees with Tom Jones, a customer, to a $30,000 lump sum contract for shearing all trees in the field.
  • He receives a partial payment about 5 days after starting the project. He then estimates the actual number sheared trees to be approximately 6,000 trees. The actual is taken as a percent of the total to be sheared, multiply the percent complete by total contract amount for the partial payment [(6,000/24,000 total trees = 25% of trees trimmed), (.25 * $30,000 total payment = 5 days payment of $7500)].

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that thoroughly answers the following questions based on the case study:

  • Is Johnson over, on, or below schedule? Explain.
  • Is Johnson using earned value as he was taught in his Project Management course? Explain.
  • What can Johnson do to set up a schedule and cost variance?
  • What method do you suggest for Johnson to use for any changes in project scope, such as the shape of the tree that Mr. Jones wants?
  • It seems that Johnson is using the Traditional method of Project Management. How can he accelerate the completion of this project he has contracted for using the Agile Methodology?
  • Analyze Johnson’s project performance on this project assuming the original quote given to the customer was an estimate.

Proton Therapy Center Business Feasibility Plan

This team assignment is the preparation of a semester-long report/study applying the course contents to the issues of an actual business feasibility plan based on the contents of a case study.

The objective of this assignment is to demonstrate through application the course concepts by developing a real-life business feasibility plan (this is short of a full- fledged business plan). It is clear, that given the limited amount of time and resources, the plans can’t be fully fledged, ready-to-go business plans. Especially in the area of final supply side of businesses, teams will have to work with qualified guesses – since this class only introduces the topic of entrepreneurial finances.

This assignment is worth twenty (20) percent of the semester grade.

You have been asked to develop a Business Feasibility Plan based on the attached Case Study “Proton Cancer Therapy Center: An Entrepreneur’s Dilemma” by Marlene Mints Reed and Rochelle Reed Brunson (2011), Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 35: 1091–1100. This case analysis is to serve as the background information and launching-point for teams to being a contemporaneous business planning endeavor. Each team is to select a location for their project different from that of the Case Analysis (i.e., not in Houston, Texas).

Team Formation: You are to assemble a team of fellow classmates of your choosing of two (2) or three (3) members. It is expected that all group members make equal contributions to the project. A single grade will be given to all members of the team.

Business Feasibility Plan Content: A basic outline of a business plan is as follows. A Business Feasibility Plan differs in that the financial projections are not as robust. In this instance, financial projections will be limited to start-up costs, profit/loss, cash- flow and a breakeven analysis. Otherwise, each of these sections should be fully developed based on the information found within the Case Analysis and through research to being the business plan concurrent with 2018.

 Executive Summary
 Company/Entity Description  Market Analysis
 Organization & Management  Services or Product Line
 Marketing & Sales
 Funding Request
 Financial Projections
 Appendix

Materials:

Relevant materials – articles, examples, forms, teaching notes, etc., for the development of a business plan will be provide during the semester. However, it is recommended that teams begin researching business planning, business plans, start-up guides, etc. to help form the contents of the plan.

A recommended initial source is the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and their recommendations for creating a business plan.

 Completion of all aspects of the assignment (research, business plan content, translation to contemporary location).

Memory loss is frightening. The purpose of this assignment is to make you think of memory loss realistically. Complete the steps listed below:

  • Watch the video, Living Without a Memory, which provides an overview of memory and discusses actual cases of memory loss.

There is an endless list of common stereotypes found in U.S. culture. The following are just a few:

  • Blond people are not smart.
  • Caucasian men do not dance well.
  • Overweight people are lazy.
  • Women are emotional, and men are not.
  • Men are better at math than women.
  • Nursing is a job for women.
  • Male firefighters are better than female firefighters.
  • People in the IT field are antisocial.

It is important to recognize the existence of a stereotype. The more you learn that certain behaviors and actions cannot be generalized to an entire group of people, the more likely you will be to treat others as individuals.

For this assignment, consider your desired career, and think about some stereotypes associated with it. Incorporate at least 2 resources to show you have conducted research on your selected stereotype, and use those resources to help you add to and back up your statements. Support or refute those stereotypes. Respond to the following questions:

  • Describe the stereotypes associated with your desired career. Be specific, and explain why you think those stereotypes exist.
  • Do you know anyone who fits the stereotype? Do you know someone who does not fit the stereotype?
  • Using outside resources, either support or refute the stereotypes that are associated with your career choice.
  • Discuss how someone might stereotype you and how you can overcome this.

4 page History paper on Presidential Election of 1912

The Progressive Presidents

The presidential election of 1912 was the most Progressive in U.S. history, with the two frontrunners, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, both espousing Progressive philosophies. Although both Wilson and Roosevelt were Progressive, their attitudes toward Progressivism differed, at least in theory. Your paper will provide an opportunity to review the complex nature of Progressivism, and to explore how presidents’ policies while in office often differ from their rhetoric on the campaign trail. 

Using the primary sources below, compare and contrast the two men’s principles based on their writings. Using the textbook and at least one secondary source from the library’s JSTOR or Project MUSE databases, compare each presidents’ political principles with his actions while in office. How well did their actions match their rhetoric? 

Draw from the material in the AT LEAST ONE of the following sources when writing your paper:
