Project Scope Management Khan, (2006) (see below) states that, "Managing the scope of a project is the most important function of a project manager ... Effective scope management of a project also ensures the success of key completion areas, including time, cost, and quality. Project scope management can be further subdivided into its components which include: project initiation, scope planning, scope definition, scope verification, and scope change control." Based on your Integrated Project: Select two of the subdivisions above and discuss the primary issues that could arise from the process.  Your response should begin with a definition of the selected subdivision before detailing the selected process

Top administrators in a hospital have approved a project to improve the efficiency of pharmaceutical services department by the end of the fiscal year to satisfy new state regulations for the coming year. However, they are concerned about four potential threats (1) the cost to implement the changes may be excessive (2) the pharmacists may resist changes (3) the project may run much longer than expected and not be ready for coming fiscal year, (4) The changes might reduce the quality of drug care in the hospital. The likelihood and negative impact of each threat have been solicited from the managers and are as follows, based on a seven-point scale where seven is the most likely and most negative impact.   Threat Probability Impact 1 5 3 2 6 5 3 3 4 4 4 7 Construct a risk matrix and identify what you would consider to be critical, monitor and ignore threats. Explain your reasoning.

1.You are the new Chief Design Officer (CDO) of a start-up, DTUI Inc. The project is to design a system for selling pottery. The aim is to develop an interface that meets the needs of both the potters and the customers. Describe in detail a design methodology of four stages to facilitate the proper design of such a system. Write your answer in the form of a management plan for this project. For each stage, indicate the number of weeks that should be allocated. Hint: Note the four phases of the design process: • Requirements analysis • Preliminary (conceptual) and detailed design • Build and implementation • Evaluation For questions 2–4, refer to the following scenario: The State of Maryland is developing a web-voting interface. For selecting the candidates, one design (RB) is a set of radio buttons and another is (CB) a combo-box (drops down when selecting the scroll arrow icon), both using standard fonts at 10-point size. 2.
