Program Plan Intro

Opening and closing case of Tom Walters tablet project:

  • Tom Walters focuses on just a few internal project stakeholders. He views only a part of the structural frame of college.
  • As his department would do most of the work for administering the tablet project, he concentrates on those stakeholders.
  • He did not involve main customers for this project that is the students at the college.
  • Tom’s view of project stakeholders is very limited because he did not held meetings with senior administrators or faculty at the college.
  • If Tom had expanded his view of structural frame of organization, he could have identified other key stakeholders.
  • If Tom focuses on human resources frame, he would have been able to identify people who would support or oppose requiring tablets.
  • Tom can consider main interest groups that would be affected by the projects outcome by using the political frame.
  • By using symbolic frame, Tom could address what moving to a tablet environment would mean for the college.
  • Tom Walters like many other project managers studied that technical and analytical skills were not enough to guarantee success in project management.
  • The needs of different stakeholders should be identified and addressed in order to be more effective. 

National Football League’s (NFL) adoption of tablet:

  • Microsoft paid NFL 400 dollars before 2014 football season for using their surface as “the official tablet of NFL”.
  • These surfaces replaced hundreds of printers which is used in the past for printing out images of each play.
  • On the tablets as well as replay monitors used by officials there is Microsoft logo.
  • Using tablet, users can review plays over and can mark up images.

Explanation of Solution

Main factors for canceling Tom’s project and continuing National Football League (NFL) tablet project:

  • The president of the college directed a committee for reviewing the concept of requiring students with tablets as several people speak about the idea of having tablets at the faculty meeting.
  • President directed the committee to present a proposal in next month’s faculty meeting to either recommend using tablets or terminate the concept...

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
