Project Management Methodology
It is important when managing any project to have a methodology in place. This is for a number of reasons; one being the need to make sure that any artefact that comes from the project, whether this is a piece of software, report, or a network design has been properly tested and evaluated and if changes need to be made the methodology can be followed to carry out this operation. It is also important to use a methodology to ensure that all parts of a project follow the same structure, to ensure problems are not overlooked, as all tasks will be planned, tested and evaluated. From this, any improvements will be made.
Research was carried out into a number of project methodologies including the Waterfall Model which

PPDIOO is a cycle methodology created by Cisco for network management. However, the six phases can be used in a number of project areas, including software development, this concurs with (Froom, Sivasubramanian, & Frahim, 2015, p.38) “use the six PPDIOO phases as a model or framework; it is not necessary to use it exclusively as …show more content…
For example, introducing new hardware into a network must not cause downtime to the rest of the network during operating hours. Once the project has been implemented the cycle moves on to the operation phase, which can also be known as the testing phase. This is where you monitor your project implementation to ensure it is working as was intended in the project plan, this provides the necessary information needed to complete a test plan and begin the optimisation phase.
The final phase of the PPDIOO methodology is the optimisation phase. This involves monitoring your project implementation and ensuring that issues are dealt with in a timely fashion, proactively, spotting issues so they do not affect the organisation, rather than reactively, where problems are dealt with once they been reported to the relevant people. If there are major problems with the implementation then early phases of the PPDIOO methodology might need to be revisited, either at the design stage or possibly even as far back as the planning stage, to resolve the
a. Concept of the Operation: This operation consists of four phases. Phase I: Accountability Phase II: Transport to City Point. Phase III: Conduct Staff Ride. Phase IV: Complete of Training and AAR b. Scheme of Maneuver: Phase
Milestones and assignments to each responsible individuals working on the project are defined. The reports are requested from individuals to make sure the project and work is moving forward and everyone is on schedule. The work is managed with schedule, deliverables, and assigning capable leads to drive the projects and taking report from the leads. This way, it makes the management hours to be flexible and leaves enough time to respond to issues or needs.
Kudler Fine Foods is a fast growing company with a network infrastructure that is quickly reaching its point of obsolescence. Kudler has currently outgrown their existing network framework, and their administration has distinguished a few areas of concern identified with their current system infrastructure, including information speeds, dependability of the system, and the absence of between organization electronic interchanges. Kudler Fine Food right now has three physical store locations, all of which are worked around a 100baseT network foundation. Every one of the three stores have a comparable system setup, which can be dangerous on the grounds that the La Jolla store uses nineteen PCs and voice over Internet convention (VOIP) telephones and the other two areas just utilize six PCs and VOIP telephones at every area. Kudler utilizes a committed OC-1 Synchronous optical system (SONET) for their VOIP telephone framework and 25Mbps Ethernet line to get to the Internet.
The food industry in the United States is an over $5 trillion industry. To be able to provide food for various businesses and grocery stores, warehouses must have a lean operation resulting in efficient services and reduced costs. Due to the volume of food that enters and exits the warehouse, the traffic of the delivery trucks must be controlled effectively. At Sysco Foods, they utilize a delivery truck scheduling software that is both outdated and inefficient resulting in human errors, inaccurate inbound information, and excessive man-hours spent on scheduling and labor.
Poor Change Control management. Failure to understanding impact changes and changes are constraint in Projects. Denver should have had a proper change management process that is robust enough to control changes. This could have eliminated the complexity introduced by various changes that took place on project 4. Why did United Airlines decided to act as the project manger for the baggage handling system on Concourse B?
Success varies between projects because they differ in size, complexity, and uniqueness and therefore the criteria used to measure success will vary as well. Individuals and stakeholders may interpret project success in various ways and the industry itself lends further variation on viewpoints about performance (Davis, 2017). The opinions of success, and how important success dimensions are, vary ‘by individual personality, nationality, project type, and contract type’ (Mir & Pinnington, 2015). To accommodate for various projects a high level success framework includes project efficiency, customer impact, team impression, business requirement accomplishment, and planning for the future (Mir & Pinnington, 2015). Determining whether the targeted

Requirements Gathering – 4 weeks This is the investigative stage of the project. which involved conception, initiation and analysis of the problem. Design phase – 3 weeks This stage involves translating the requirements from the previous stage into detailed designs that address them.
In unit one we covered a lot of information that was new to me such as the introduction to the various layers of an OSI model and the different standards an ways networks can communicate such as Ethernets and ATM. I still have a fairly high level of confusion with these new-to-me topics but as it looks like we will be examining each layer in the subsequent units I believe my understanding will improve. I will address the questions presented on the learning journal assignment page directly as this has been the preference in my previous instructors. If you do not prefer this method in the future, let me know and I will just directly incorporate them in my write up.
This approach centers on people, communications, the anticipated product and its flexibility. The concept of this approach is similar to that of the traditional management approach: generating plans and requirements, evolving the anticipated product, incorporating it with other products as required then testing it and debugging technical hitches if any is found, then lastly fitting it for use (Rose, 2010). In this approach, as a replacement for focusing on the phases all at once like it is done in the traditional approach, the entire project is fragmented into smaller segments known as scrums after which the scrums are taken as smaller projects and dealt with according to the traditional
To begin the process, you should develop a high level of self efficacy, not just knowledge. The next step is to have regular targeted feedback on implementation fidelity. Another key piece is to have a goal orientated exit strategy. She emphasized how many plans don’t have an exit strategy and they did not complete the project to their full potential. Another key piece is to maintain a support plan.
Mid-Term Paper – Boeing Analysis MGMT 658 Abstract Unlike other manufacturing industries, aircraft manufacturing is considerably large and complicated. It is a field with high risk involvement. Losses incurred can be quite huge due to the size of the industry. Being the case, the aircraft manufacturing industry calls for intrinsic planning and comparatively larger pool of skilled and cooperative manpower for successful production.
It is important to emphasize that these challenges were brought about by poorly defined goals and the scope was usually unclear. This meant the projects usually tended to go beyond the estimates as the project developers tried to fix newly developed ideas in to the development process. the phase gate model was developed to give an outline of the project development process to offer solutions for managing newly launched
Reflective Journal Student Name: Talita Silva Lima Programme: Higher Diploma in Science – Cloud Computing Month: July 1. Project Management In this section I will explain in detail my project management through a Gantt Chart and what I have done since my last journal until now, how my time management is going in order to delivery this project before the deadline and some of my achievements.
Secondly is the design of the solutions, in this step the company have to create an interface and local gateway configuration, working with different levels of functionality, delay indefinitely, develop with a few committed participants, highly centralized technical solutions and consider phased design. Our example SAP have observe that they have to delay indefinitely to acquire the customer need to avoid any error for the other support companies, avoid the loss of autonomy, and to get enough time to study all project sides, in addition, they design common interface which support a different level of functionality. Also they are working to develop with a few committed participants and highly centralized technical solutions. So mostly this step is the most difficult between all steps and the correct design of the GIS strategy will achieve the success for the global information system for the company and that’s why SAP since they put in them account the future expand and technology development. Moreover, the implementation and development stages which perform based on the design stage.
