Once a project’s deliverables have been identified and diagrammed in a work breakdown structure, the next step is to subdivide each deliverable into smaller components that represent the specific work that needs to be performed in order to complete the work package. These defined activities can then be sequenced. This sequence of activities provides the basis for the project schedule. By including these details, schedules enable project managers to monitor and control project activities, assess how delays will affect a project, and determine how to allocate excess available resources.

For this Assignment, you use the example from this week’s Discussion to construct a schedule in Microsoft Project.

To prepare:

Review this week’s media presentation on scheduling resources and activities.

Recall the example you presented in this week’s Discussion.

Consider the tasks and dependencies identified.

Think about how you would sequence the tasks, and dependencies, for the example.

Consider tasks and dependencies that might be modified to create the most time-efficient project schedule.

To complete:

Submit the following:

A schedule created in Microsoft Project for the example from this week’s Discussion. Include the following:

The dependencies related to the tasks outlined in your schedule

Identification of each dependency’s type

An explanation of how the tasks and their dependencies were modified to expedite the project schedule.

CASE STUDY 7-1

Implementing a Performance Management Communication Plan at Accounting, Inc.

Accounting, Inc. is a consulting and accounting firm headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Recently, Accounting, Inc. implemented a performance management system. The first step in the implementation of the new system was the development of a set of core competencies that would be used to evaluate most employees regardless of function or level. In addition, each employee was evaluated using more job-specific performance dimensions.

As the first step in the communication plan, the employees received individual e-mail messages asking them to define what the core competencies meant to them and to give descriptions and examples of how each of the core competencies played out in their specific positions. Next, thecompany held meetings, handed out frequently asked questions (FAQs) sheets, and placed posters around the company detailing how the core competencies were related to the organization’s strategic priorities and how performance scores would be related to monetary rewards. In these communications, Accounting, Inc. detailed how the performance system worked, how the raters were chosen, how performance feedback was used, and other details about the system. The information also outlined the benefits employees could expect from the new system as well as employees’ responsibilities regarding the system.

Please evaluate Accounting, Inc.’s communication plan. Specifically, does it answer all of the questions that a good communication plan should answer? Which questions are left unanswered? How would you provide answers to the unanswered questions (if any)? Source: Adapted from P. Brotherton, “Meyners Pays for Performance: Changing a Compensation System Is a Sensitive Undertaking; Here’s How One Firm Handled It,” Journal of Accountancy, 196 (2003): 41–46.

The cardinal sign of Lyme disease

/in /by

Lyme Disease

Case Study

A 38-year-old male had a 3-week history of fatigue and lethargy with intermittent complaints

of headache, fever, chills, myalgia, and arthralgia. According to the history, the patient’s

symptoms began shortly after a camping vacation. He recalled a bug bite and rash on his

thigh immediately after the trip. The following studies were ordered:

Studies Results

Lyme disease test, Elevated IgM antibody titers against Borrelia burgdorferi

(normal: low)

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

(ESR),

30 mm/hour (normal: ≤15 mm/hour)

Aspartate aminotransferase

(AST),

32 units/L (normal: 8-20 units/L)

Hemoglobin (Hgb), 12 g/dL (normal: 14-18 g/dL)

Hematocrit (Hct), 36% (normal: 42%-52%)

Rheumatoid factor (RF), Negative (normal: negative)

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Negative (normal: negative)

Diagnostic Analysis

Based on the patient’s history of camping in the woods and an insect bite and rash on the

thigh, Lyme disease was suspected. Early in the course of this disease, testing for specific

immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodies against B. burgdorferi is the most helpful in diagnosing

Lyme disease. An elevated ESR, increased AST levels, and mild anemia are frequently seen

early in this disease. RF and ANA abnormalities are usually absent.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What is the cardinal sign of Lyme disease? (always on the boards) 2. At what stages of Lyme disease are the IgG and IgM antibodies elevated? 3. Why was the ESR elevated? 4. What is the Therapeutic goal for Lyme Disease and what is the recommended treatment.
