Write a research report outlining the top five project management tools and providing an explanation of each.
Project management models, methods, and artifacts are identified and selected in various ways with the purpose of properly leading and managing projects. To address the project needs of the organization, it may be necessary to understand methodologies and artifacts from many governing bodies (such as lean, six sigma, etc.) to implement a project management style that complements your delivery culture.

In this assessment, you will create a minimum 10-slide PowerPoint presentation where you select at least four project methodologies (or frameworks) and compare their delivery approach and artifacts used to manage projects.

Select four project management methodologies.
Explain the delivery process for each methodology. Assess supporting artifacts used to manage projects for each methodology.
Compare the selected methodologies, referencing practical use in today’s environment.
Determine the model you would use in your workplace to manage projects. Explain why it would be the most effective approach to project management.
Provide a slide that indicates all of the references your ideas and thoughts came from to help formulate your thoughts.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines for PowerPoint slides

Submit your assignment as an attachment (PPTX, PPT or PDF).

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

CONTENT:

The report is about YOUR observations of one live concert of at least 90 total minutes of music. Your live concert choice must be approved by Dr. Mitchell before the performance.
A successful report will address these categories:

1. Performance setting and types of music: give the date, place, and name(s) of groups performing. Briefly describe the performance setting. For example, you might include your observations on the look of the performance space, performers’ attire, audience’s attire, etc. and how it affected your concert-viewing experience. Which types/genres of music were performed (symphony, opera, solo, chamber, etc.)? What pieces did you hear? Who were the composers, and what are their historical eras?

2. The main body of your report (about 3 pages long) should focus on accurately applying the knowledge gained in this class to the specific music you heard. Narrow your focus to two movements or short pieces from the concert video, and do one or more of the following:
a. Choose two movements or short pieces from the program contrast/compare these works with references to specific musical elements.
b. Choose two movements or short pieces, and give an overview of their overall character. What types of moods or feelings did they evoke? (refer to specific musical elements in your descriiption)
c. Choose the music composition you liked best, and describe why, using specific musical elements. Choose the music composition you liked least and describe why, using musical elements. Use YOUR ears (not the internet’s ideas). Listen for the basic elements discussed in class, and apply them to the music. Try to highlight what really “stuck out” to you about the musical selections highlighted in this section.

3. Evaluate your concert-viewing experience: What did you enjoy about the performance? What would have improved your experience? How did the performance fit or surprise your expectations? Were there any aspects of the performance that were unfamiliar or surprising to you? If so, what? What was the overall reaction of the audience or people in the audience (if there was one)? Watch it with a family member/friend, and write a little about their concert impressions.
You must do ALL of the above-listed requirements in order to earn full credit. Take a look at the Rubric to make sure that you have

Please find a recent article (within the last few years) from the internet, a business journal, or any other
media you have come across. You can use a company you work in should you have specific information to share; however, you
must find a similar article to support your statement.

To their competitive advantage, you should find a business or industry using a database/data warehouse, data lake, or big data.

(1) What are a database, data warehouse, data lake, and big data?

(2) Please explain how the business operated without the current data technology and how it has changed
(how they are currently using it).

(3) What obstacles were encountered during this transformation?

(4) Do you feel they made the right decision? Please answer the above questions and not merely summarize an article.
