- Case Study Overview: In February 2017 the Team Project Manager and Flow Project Coordinator for Dell Technologies-Limerick (Ireland), is preparing for a review with Dell's Systems and Processes Improvement board, early in a transition from the use of one agile software development method (Scrum) to another (Flow, which applies lean manufacturing techniques to software engineering). The new manager has been on board for less than six months. With ten years' prior software development experience in Brazil, he moved to Ireland when hired by Dell. Dell is midway through its attempts to transform from a manufacturing-heavy strategy to an IT-supported service-heavy strategy; its recent acquisition of EMC is an important step in that direction, and executives expect Flow will help globally-distributed software developers produce higher quality code, faster, in follow-the-sun mode. The Flow coordinator/champion recognizes Flow is a complex innovation; it will take time and focus for busy…arrow_forwardList two outputs for each of the Project Risk Management processes (note that the Implement Risk Responses process is not discussed in this chapter)arrow_forwardA Social Project manager is faced with a project with the following activities: Activity-ID Description Duration 1-2 Social Work Team to live in Village 5 Weeks 1-3 Social Research Team to do survey 12 Weeks 3-4 Analyse results of survey 5 Weeks 2-4 Establish Mother & Child Health Program 14 Weeks 3-5 Establish Rural Credit Programme 15 Weeks 4-5 carry out Immunisation of under Fives 4 Weeks Draw the arrow diagram, using the helpful numbering of the activities, which suggests the…arrow_forward
- What are the primary components of process planning in project management, and how do they contribute to the successful execution of a project?arrow_forwardPrepare a detailed WBS, Precedence diagram and a Gantt chart showing the critical Path of the propose project a playground.arrow_forwardIn reference to the attached image and data below: What are the final recommendations? Step A we know: Critical Path = A, B, H, I, J; Project Time = 40 Weeks; Total Cost = 364,000 Step B we know: To crash the critical path I would crash A by 1 week, B by 2 week, H by 2 week and C by 3 week. This would not alter the critical path, only the time line. Steps C we know: Modeling uncertainty in activity times. In this case I would use the activity times and determine the Variances and the Standard Deviation. Using “best case” (x) and “worst case” (y) scenarios for activity times the formula’s would be (x-y)/6 and (x-y)^2/36.arrow_forward
