Your HR project to develop a centralized model of deliveri.docxdanhaley45372
Your HR project to develop a centralized model of delivering HR services has progressed through very critical stages of the project thus far. It is now time to present actionable, decision-making information to project leaders. This can be best accomplished when projects have been successfully managed, devoid of any major risks, and have been properly closed out and finalized.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1. Explain what it means to successfully direct and manage project work and identify and discuss 3-4 strategies you might use to manage and sustain progress in your HR project. Be specific.
2. Identify and discuss a minimum of 3 strategies that could be used to address and resolve any risks within the control of the project. HINT: See Exhibit 14.5 in the textbook. Is any one of the strategies you selected more important than the others? Why?

PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ACTION The Power of Lessons Learned Projects are discrete. They have a beginning and an end, at which time the project team disbands and moves on to other things. Despite the fact there has inevitably been significant tacit learning during the project, there is often only a limited capture of this into a sharable form for future reuse. Too often, as the project team dissolves, the learning fades into the memories of individuals minds. This makes it extremely difficult for others to benefit in the future from the insights learned. The usual excuses for this loss echoing through the corridors include just too hard, not enough time, team disbanded before we had the chance, and many more. The key error here is the incorrect assumption that learning during or from projects is an added bonus or a nice- to-have luxury. This is not the case in best.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

A Comprehensive Look at Generative AI in Retail App Testing.pdfkalichargn70th171
Traditional software testing methods are being challenged in retail, where customer expectations and technological advancements continually shape the landscape. Enter generative AI—a transformative subset of artificial intelligence technologies poised to revolutionize software testing.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Did youever have difficulty rememberingthat last step of the exercise? Or feeling confused how the professor
went from one pointto another?Well our platformwill help youwith that.
Our aim is to create a simple user interface, that will be understandableby anyone, notraining required. There
will be an area to edit recordingsand addvoice-overs. This features will be accessible by professors and
studentsalike. Another feature will be a commentsection where bothparties can write for anythingthat’s
unclear or clarify it. Videos can be downloaded, sothey can be savedlocally andbe accessed offline.
This platform will enhance the understanding, engagementandconsequently, theperformanceof students. It
will provide professorsaninterface to create/ record their work. This will lead to reduced time andeffort in
their end, andincreased focus and productivity onstudentsend.
3. 2
This would avoidexcess repetition of materials onseminars/ lectures due to the studentsforgetting/ nottaking
notes. The app wouldbe platformindependent, accessible on any device, at any time.
2. PROJECT RATIONALE
2.1 Background (Max1500 characters)
Please provideabrief descriptionof the motivationsthatledtothe presentationof the currentproposal.Should
the proposal be a follow-up of any other activity please elaborate on that as well.
The main motivationis thatstudentshavemore thanone subject to focus on, andthat information tendsto be
forgottenthe more time it passes. Somecan have upto 6 hoursof complex subjects a day. Somecan have
seminarsafter lectures consecutively the very same day, andthe info is lost if not spreadduring the week.
Othersmight even haveother obligationsbesides university. After all we’re not robots.
Another motiveis that studentsspendalot of time searching the internet to find a solutionor a explanation,
andfind outthat it’smisleading or irrelevant with the topic. Why waste time listening/ reading otherpeople’s
work thatcan barely be understood, whenyoucan have the essence of a certain topic explained perfectly by
yourprofessorthat is competentfor oureducation.
2.2 Perceivedneeds (Max1500 characters)
ESTABLISH A CORE PROJECTTEAM
To developa platformlike this, we need to establisha core project team that wouldbe only committedto this
project.
The project managerwill recruit handpickedindividualswith specific skills to meet the project and stakeholders
demands. Theseindividualsshouldbe from within (ENTER INSTUTUTION NAME)sothey have a clear goal of
Institution’sobjectives. ThePM will alsobe able to assignspecialists to help/ guide in any obstacles the team
may face.
CLOUD
The mostefficient way to store the platformis on a Cloud. But what is a Cloud?
Cloudcomputingis the on-demandavailability of computersystemresources, especially datastorage and
computingpower, without direct active managementby the user. This means the appinformation, records,
videos, userscredentials will be stored ona remote data center. The benefits will be online data storageand
backupsolutions, 24/7 platformuptimeandtechnical support. Itwill also reduce IT costs, because it removes
the expert cloud/ server staff wages, fewer energy consumption, fewer time delays andhardware/ software
systemequipmentsor upgrades.
2.3 Objectives(Max1500 characters)
Please provide brief information on the main features of the proposed activity with particular attention to
appropriate, practical and consistent information. Nonspecific and abstract, overambitious goals are to be
avoided
4. 3
-Develop a project scope: Define all the necessary goals, deliverables, features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and
costsof the project.
-Developa project charter: Define roles and responsibilities, identifies the main stakeholders, anddefines the
authority of the project manager. Have all participantsagree andsign uponthese agreed criterias.
-Developa Work BreakdownStructure:After the roles of each project member are assignedin Project Charter,
the work to be executed by the team is defined in a deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition.
-Improvestudentsengagement
-Increasethe Institutionsquality oneducation
-Time efficiency
-Inhouseteam composition
-Builda strongercommunity:Createsa stronger bondbetween instructorsto students, andstudentstostudents
-Create a forum system.
2.4 Justification(Max1500 characters)
Fromwhat we’ve learned sofar in this course, no project can start withouthavinga clear visionandgoals. That’s
why project scope comes asthe first objective, to define all the necessary goals, deliverables, features,
functions, tasks, deadlines, andcostsof the project.
The project charter is almostas importantas the scope, because every project participant agrees andsigns on
the given terms andsignals the project commitment.
Then we can proceed to ournext step in the developmentladder, Work BreakdownStructure. It is a key project
deliverable that organizesthe team's work intomanageable sections.
As we mentionedbefore, studentsengagementis our primary objective. We are interested to polishtheir skills,
commitmentandunderstandingtoovercomecertain problems.
Our Institution’squality willbe improvedaswell, because studentsare the main columnof it, and they reflect
their knowledge andwork.
2.5 Have there beenany previouseffortsto tackle the perceivedneeds? (Max1000 characters)
Do the projectobjectivesrelatetoanyspecificpreviousprojectsthathave takenplace inthe institution/
country/regionof operations,undertakenbyinternational organisationsorotherparties?
Usually educationalinstitutionsusepre-built platformslike Google Classroomandthe likes of it anddon’tgo
anothermile for the student’s fulfilment.
Google Classroomfor example, has the samevision andobjectives as our project. Frombuildinga strongerbond
andcommunity toenhance the student’s learningexperience.
So in thisspectrum, our platform is uniquein its nature. It feels like youhavethe instructor hired personally for a
private lecture.
5. 4
2.6 Beneficiary(ies) (Max1500 characters)
-EnhanceMarketing:
Having a personalplatform will make ourinstitutionprivileged in comparisonto other universities, and can serve
as a great publi(enter Instututionname)y for the institute. Notonly it will benefit the current studentsand
professors, it will also attract potentialstudentsto apply andbe a partof it.
-Investitors:
Based onthe share marketprinciples, more people will want a piece of thisfast rising, prestigiousinstitution.
This will attract potential investmentsandcashinflows, and can be translatedinto fundingresearch and
development, innovativeprojectsand ideas or create an offsite campusin a far future.
-Improvedfeedback:
This meansthe studentswill have aninfrastructure to express their opinions, suggestionsorcomplaintsfreely
andtheir wordsto have influence. This will avoid bureaucracies like writing excessive email/ complaints/polls
andnot being intoconsideration. Their initiativesand suggestionswill be heardand putinto gooduse. Students
for students!

ideas. He also inspires project membersto bring outthe best of themselves.
Rizaldo Pasho
He hasexpertise in developingthe code of conductandorganizationalculture. He keeps thingsrunning
smoothly, andhasa great sense of responsibility thataffects others aroundhim.
2.8 Key risks to the project’sobjectives,andproposedmitigating solutions (Max1500 characters)
Budgetreduction can be a major threat in the project development. Thiscan compromiseone of the variables,
suchas extending the time period to complete the project and limits the scope.
Schedule risk, the risk thatactivities may take longer thanexpected. Slippages in schedule typically increase
costsand also delay the receipt of project benefits. The more time it takesto finish a project, the more its
marketvalue decreases.
Unforeseencircumstances are somethingwe cannotcontrol. Justlike any other people, project managersand
developersare humans. Forexample, if someof them gets sick, it can delay the project for anindefinite period
of time or even derail it. (Explanation is on the paragraphbelow.)
6. 5
Resignationof one or more project members could alsobe a potentialrisk. This meansthe project will takemore
time to be finished, as lower staff is available. One of the solutionswouldbe to assign overtime, butthis could
also increase turnoverrate or burnout. Anothersolutionwouldbe to hire new membersandtrain them mid-way
in project development. Butaswe have previously discussed, hiringnew employees wouldpostponethe project
completiontime evenmore.

itself, includingthe various roles and responsibilitiesof teammembers. Create measurablecriteria for success
andfactor in deliverable dates and create your timeline.
-ChoosingtheRight Teammates
Assign taskstoteam members. Puttogether a winning combinationof skills, talent and personalitiesthat are
right for each particular project. We shouldkeep in mindthat skill sets shouldalign with specific project
requirements.
