how is the role of the in-house rep dealt with in the RMP as it relates to activities for planning, tracking and reporting requirements?

Case Study on Research and Development (R&D) Projects (100 points)

The case study below offers an excellent perspective on how projects are often initiated under less than ideal circumstances—which often lays the ground work for project failure.

Companies that provide a service for another company usually respond to a bid document from a company that needs help. This case study is a good example of this situation. The bid document can be as simple as an email from the buyer to the seller or as complicated as a request for proposal (RFP) outlining the objectives of the project and asking a seller to develop a proposal that provides a solution.

Each company (seller and buyer) will have a business case for doing the project. The Peter’s Company is outsourcing for a reason. The Corwin Corporation is taking on the project for a different set of reasons. One of the reasons the Corwin Corporation is taking on the work is the looming, potentially very lucrative production contract if they are successful. There are no guarantees in research and development project that there will be success.

A strategy for completing this assignment:

There is only the group assignment for this unit as it is demanding and will require good time management and proper sequencing of the tasks completed by each team member.

Each team member should spend time reading and thinking about the case, the cast of characters, information that you’d like to have but isn’t included in the case study, and so on.

Review what is required to complete each part of the assignment and estimate the sequence and time it will take to complete the work. Assign tasks so that everyone has an equal share of the workload and try to capitalize on strengths of group members.

Determine information gaps (things you’d like to know) and post questions in the Ask the Professor forum. Do this early so that the instructor has time to respond during the 24-hour period after you post the question. Do not email the instructor questions about this assignment.

Communicate with each other and review each other’s work. At least one person should be checking all content as a quality check to verify that the assigned person is meeting expected deliverables.

Read all responses to the questions posted in the Ask the Professor forum.

Correct and compile parts of the assignment into a cohesive document. A key emphasis is to make sure the perspective (“our group believes” versus “I believe”) is correct when writing up the deliverables. This is a group assignment.

Assume the Peter’s Company provided some initial statement of work documentation, by email or other means, that was sufficient for Dan West (the project manager) to move forward with the project for the Corwin Corporation. A sample project charter is provided for you.

The project charter (provided) is a high-level document; read it carefully and use it to help prepare other documentation.

Be sure to list as many stakeholders and issues as you can by using your group’s collective project management experience. The list of stakeholders is more than a relisting of the cast of characters in the case. A stakeholder register is essential for collecting requirements and for managing communication needs.

Part 1 (20 points)–Prepare a requirements management plan (RMP) that addresses the five components described in Section 5.1.3.2, PMBOK 6e. The plan should be at least 3 but not exceed 4 pages and does not need to conform to APA guidelines (except for citing and referencing sources).

Some things to think about – how is the role of the in-house rep dealt with in the RMP as it relates to activities for planning, tracking and reporting requirements? Configuration management is not just about software and versioning. What processes will be used for configuration management activities as they relate to changes in the product requirements? How and who will authorize/approve changes? The traceability structure should be tailored to the type of project and should ensure that each requirement adds business value.

Critically evaluate and interpret the originality report, from your context or point of view

1. Write an Annotated Bibliography for your Capstone Topic with a collection of 12
articles following a set structure. The Annotated Bibliography is a critical examination of the most relevant, recent and scholarly research on the topic area that is not just a summary of the articles you have read on done in Topics 1 to 5.
2. Use the latest online search tools (CSU PRIMO, Google Scholar, Online databases) and efficient bibliographic organisers – CSU supports the use of EndNote. (available on iPad).
EndNote is a bibliographic citation program, allowing references and footnotes to be translated into a variety of standard formats.

Tips on A3 Annotated Bibliography =>

* You can have more than 12 articles in A3 bit only the first 12 will be evaluated.
* This may be a sample of a bigger collection in your continuing project work beyond25 September Due Date.
* Task 1 is 2000 words (10-12 pages) but can be much longer as some of you are doing more articles in a bigger literature review as you project.
* These are length guides only. Consider 2000 words (150-200 words per annotation) as minimum and (400 words per annotation) – 4800 as maximum.
* I rather not set such limits but when they are not there, then students ask for them. 12 articles is the number most wanted.

How does this symmetrical form support the meaning of the text?

A Circle Dance Song
Listen to Shizhane’e’, CD 1:8, textbook pp. 51-52.
The A and B sections repeat after the C section, producing what Gary Witherspoon calls “dynamic symmetry” (p. 51).

Obviously the Navajo are concerned with form and shape in their art.

How does this symmetrical form support the meaning of the text?
Are there examples of this in Western popular music?

Discuss various ways in which love of the Prophet was manifested during his own life, according to early accounts, and in later Muslim devotional beliefs and practices.

MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

• This is a 400 level college course final exam. It needs to be well done, well written and well cited. I will dispute you and request to be refunded through the resolution center if these instructions are not adhered to.

• Please be sure that your paper is well-written, with ZERO grammatical and spelling errors.

• Answers must be based on the readings for this class WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED AS ATTACHMENTS, you should reflect ONLY on the ATTACHED materials. I’ve included ample pdfs for you to choose from. If you absolutely have to use other sources it must be in a very limited way, in order to make a very specific point that one cannot make on the basis of the assigned readings.

• Your answers to the 2 questions I have listed below must be stated in summary fashion in your opening paragraph, and the rest of the essay must be strictly organized as a series of arguments, substantiated by the ATTACHED readings, to support the answer or position you have stated in your introduction.

• The paper itself needs to be 7.5-8 pages in length. There are 2 main questions needing to be answered. Each question should be answered in a 3.5- 4 page essay.

• The 2 questions are as follows:

1. The Prophet Muhammad is referred to in Islamic tradition as “the beloved” (al-habib), and his followers—both his companions and later Muslims—often demonstrated more love than fear of the Prophet. Discuss various ways in which love of the Prophet was manifested during his own life, according to early accounts, and in later Muslim devotional beliefs and practices.

2. According to a popular Sufi saying, “Muhammad is a man, but not like other men; he is ruby, while [other] people are stones.” How does the Islamic tradition simultaneously portray Muhammad as “just a man,” and as standing above all other human beings?

• Double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins (all quotations longer than a single sentence should be put in a quote box, in single spaced, 10-point font).
