Integrated Health was a large private, nonprofit health care system located in Tempe,Arizona. A year ago, the decision was made to implement a computerized medication administration record (MAR) at Integrated Health. During the first year, the MAR system would be implemented at Central Hospital of Tempe. After the “bugs” were worked out, the computerized MAR would be implemented system-wide. The MIS department at Central Hospital was designated as the initiator and direction setter for the project. Art Smith, the Chief Information Officer at Central Hospital assigned Kate Cohen, a programmer/analyst, as project leader. Kate had the responsibility for developing and implementing the MAR project at Central. Kate did the programming work for the MAR and assembled a team from Pharmacy Services, Nursing Services, and Internal Auditing. Members of the project team provided feedback on the software, made suggestions related to user training, and worked on an implementation schedule. Both team…
During the planning phase, the team is fully engaged in the development of scope of work, design criteria, key deliverables, execution strategy, project timeline, cost estimates and resource planning, however often there are important areas that could be overlooked due to time constraints or lack of focus. What are the critical aspects to oversee?
Assume Bangladesh National Cricket Team needs to find a new head coach for the team. The cricket team’spresent and the future success largely depends on the formulations and implantation of the plans laid by thehead coach. The cricket board has given you the responsibility to prepare the job responsibilities of the newhead coach. You need to pinpoint very carefully which tasks he is supposed to do, as you also need to identifywhich skills and qualifications he must possess to do those required tasks smoothly. Prepare the job descriptionand job specification for the position of “Head Coach” of Bangladesh Cricket Team.

Can you detect the risk management of the project “Organising a Fan Convention at Birkbeck. This could be to organise an event/concert that could connect students/staff with a celebrity of their liking. Identify – minimum 15 different risks • Analyse Use the probability/impact matrix and place all risks there For 5 risks, from different boxes, explain in detail why you think they have that level of probability and impact on the project. (use 1-2 slides) • Response strategies and specific response actions• Use the simplified risk register provided in the lecture and seminar• For 5 risks, propose a response strategy AND specific response actions for each of these. • At least one of these 5 risks should be a positive risk

Hi, can you help me find one positive risk and find the response strategy and specific response action for it and also explain in detail why you think they have that level of probability and impact on the project. can you also place it in the probability impact matrix. here is a picture of my work, if you can just follow as I did for the positive risks. Thanks in advance
Give an explanation of how earned value management (EVM) may be used to keep expenses under control and monitor the overall effectiveness of a project, and then hypothesise as to why it is not utilised more often. How can one determine if the data for cost variation, schedule variance, cost performance index, and schedule performance index are healthy or unhealthy? What are some basic rules of thumb?
What are the main challenges and considerations in choosing an appropriate system modeling approach for a specific project?
