My artifact is a project assessment document written to communicate project information to non-IT or project professionals. I chose to write about a VoIP phone system implementation that we completed in February 2017. Since it is a project assessment document, I wrote it as if the project is going to happen during September and October of 2017. The instructor for the session, Ms. Robin Canale had provided us some guiding questions for the artifact. I found these questions helpful in thinking…
deliver quality software projects at a strict deadline that must be met. As a result, companies must always renovate themselves and software developers must keep up with the latest technologies. However, software companies often resort to the premature release of software projects in order to meet deadlines. These projects are aesthetically complete and free of errors. Incomplete projects often fail their customers when they are challenged. A recent example of such software project is the…
“The Manhattan Project” was a former research project that was responsible for developing the first atomic bombs during World War II, with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada from 1942 to 1945 . General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer were in-charge of the Project . The members of the committee combined their expertise, technology, science and finance. The success of the Manhattan Project was when a uranium bomb called “Little…
The Manhattan Project was the codename for the classified government inquiry project to build atomic bombs. The scientists needed to work swiftly for the enemy’s attempt to build atomic bombs. The Manhattan Project took a stand by racing against the clock to develop atomic bombs. It also took a stand in World War II, in science, and in politics. World War II took place from 1939 to 1945. The main countries that supported Hitler’s regimes were Germany, Italy, and Japan. The other side…
1.1 PROJECT GOALS Despite the evolvement of mobile communication networks, there is still a huge gap in network coverage in remote areas. As of present, satellite broadband is still the leading provider of network services in remote areas, but due to the high cost involve in setting up satellites systems and the cost involve in owning a satellite phone, this is not readily available to all users in remote locations. In situations where satellite signals are not available due to various factors…
defines a project as a unique venture with a beginning and end, conducted by people to meet established goals within parameters of cost, schedule and quality, and a process as referring to ongoing, day-to-day activities in which an organization engages while producing goods or services (p. 4-5). A project will result in an end item or goal whereas a process will consist of multiple actions to be completed with other actions that will result in the completion of a product or goal. If the…

It is important that these projects are run in the best way possible to avoid wasting time and money. However, there are mistakes that can cause a waste of time and money as well as a failed project. Here are some common ones. One common project mistake is selecting a bad project manager (Schiff, 2012). Project managers are a very…
Manhattan project was located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This was during World War II they developed a program that would be able to harness the power of fission. Then later known as the Manhattan project. The goal was to make the first atomic bomb. The reason why the Manhattan is called what it is because their original offices were in and around New York, but then late 1943 they moved down to a town later called Oak Ride, Tennessee. This town was specially designed for the Manhattan project.…
through the platform of different types of communication channels According to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK), project communication management is “the knowledge area that employs the process required to ensure timely and appropriate generation collection distribution storage retrieval and ultimate disposition of project information”. The function of communication management planning in a project is to identify the information needed by the client. The customer can ask for…
Origination and Initiation of the Manhattan Project The development of atomic bomb in the United States started in 1939 when a small number of physicists were alarmed over the possibility of Germany successfully developing an atomic bomb and warned President Roosevelt. Einstein and Szilard wrote a letter on their proposal about atomic bombs and was delivered to the President's aide, General Edwin Watson, by Alexander Sachs, an economist and writer who had a friendly relationship with Roosevelt.…
