Unit 5 Lab Assignment: Closeout and Termination

Unit 5 Lab Assignment: Closeout and Termination
The Final Project Report is the administrative record of the completed project that identifies all its functional and technical components, as well as other important project history.
It includes all the strengths and weaknesses of the project as it progressed and offers a final assessment of what went right (or wrong) throughout the life of the project. It is essentially a “lessons learned” document of the project.
Your assignment is to:
Prepare a final Project Report of your project. Use MS Word for this report.
Your report should include these elements:
Project Performance
This should include a candid assessment of the project’s achievements relative to its plan. Did the project achieve the goals you set out to accomplish? It should also include candid criticism as to the project performance. What caused this poor performance? What recommendations do you have to ensure it doesn’t happen in future projects?
Administrative Performance
What are the standard administrative practices that occur within an organization that were beneficial to the project? What were some drawbacks that could be improved on?
Organizational Structure
How did the organization’s operating structure help or hinder the project team? How could it have been changed to better align the structure with the activities?
Team Performance
How effectively did the team perform this project? Were the proper people picked to perform the project? Were they properly trained? How did the project manager perform? Address team-building techniques and training activities that you think would ensure effective team performance of your project if it actually occurred.
Techniques of Project Management
What organizational methods are effective for project management? These include software, scheduling, rules, procedures, etc.
Benefits to the Organization and the Customer
To what degree did this project provide the benefits and accomplish the goals that it intended? Keep in mind that goals are not always immediate and can occur over time.
Requirements
Your report must meet the following criteria:
Write your report in essay form, using bullet points only where appropriate.
If you use outside resources (and you should!), cite your sources using APA format. This includes information that you use from your textbook as well. Use the double citation reference system: The first is a parenthetical ( ) citation in the text of the report where the research material is used. The second citation is in the References page where full reference details are given.
Use American Psychological Association (APA) style to format your report, regardless of whether you use additional resources or not. You do NOT need an Abstract.

Requirement

Make Decision tree

Bill Holliday is not sure what he should do. He can build a quadplex (i.e., a building with four apartments), build a duplex, gather additional information, or simply do nothing.

If he gathers additional information, the results could be either favorable or unfavorable, but it would cost him $3,000 to gather the information.

• Bill believes that there is a 50-50 chance that the information will be favorable.

• If the rental market is favorable, Bill will earn $15,000 with the quadplex or $5,000 with the duplex. Bill doesn’t have the financial resources to do both.

• With an unfavorable rental market, however, Bill could lose $20,000 with the quadplex or $10,000 with the duplex.

 

Without gathering additional information, Bill estimates that the probability of a favorable rental market is 0.7.

A favorable report from the study would increase the probability of a favorable rental market to 0.9.

Furthermore, an unfavorable report from the additional information would decrease the probability of a favorable rental market to 0.4.

Of course, Bill could forget all of these numbers and do nothing.

What is your advice to Bill

Data Structures Project Help Needed

As per the problem, write a program to compute the determinant of a matrix. ( If you refer to a Linear Algebra text, you may find the minors are called co-factors.) It should read a matrix, print it out, compute and print the determinant. Your program should be able to evaluate multiple matrices on a single execution. For class purposes your program should handle matrices upto and including those of order 6. In a real application the sizes could, of course, be much larger. Use of recursion is okay but not mandatory. Use some form of linked list structure to store the matrix. You may use double, single, circular or multilinked lists with or without headers. Please give this careful consideration. In justifying your choice of data structures please consider real world constaints. Justify your choice of recursion or iteration. Be sure to compare your results to what you observed in Lab 2. As a minimum use the following 8 matrices to test your program. Use the same required input and the same input format as Lab 2.
