Topic: ProjectBudgeting

Scenario: You are the project manager responsible for a new building construction in northern Virginia. The building is worth $500,000 and will have five bedrooms, a kitchen, landscaping, and a two-car garage to be completed in two years. This was agreed upon in a firm fixed contract. During the execution (construction) of the building, you realize that the cost of materials have gone up by 10%, and your schedule is behind by 90 days due to delays from county inspections and permit processes. You also notice that if you continue with the current cost rate and schedule rate that the total cost to complete this house would be $600,000 and delivered three months late.
Submit a three-page report explaining the reasons for these variances from your original project management plan and the proposed steps on how you are going to control the cost and schedule to achieve the contract threshold of $500,000 to be delivered in two years. Your plan must include the following:
 Address identifications of impacted activities with their cost and schedule attributes, remembering to account for contingencies.
Address explanations of the roles your project management team will play during the execution of your project management plan and how they will help you to control the issues that are arising during the project.
 At the end of your essay, add a separate section entitled, “Reflections on My Learning.” In this stand-alone section, summarize what you have learned in doing the research, reading the textbook, and reading the written lessons in regard to project management and how it impacted your decisions in this essay.
Refer to the execution and control process relating to project-based management. Use 2 sources to support your ideas, thoughts, and theories. Use APA format to document your sources in-text and in your “References” list at the end of the essay.

Topic: Data Analysis Report

INTRODUCTION:
In Workshop 2 you looked at survey administration, either collecting data yourselves or attempting to communicate to the client issues regarding data collection. In Workshop 3 you will use outputs derived from the survey to undertake a travel behavior analysis.
The overall goals of disaggregate analysis are understanding the determinants of travel and designing effective transport policies. To achieve these goals we need to study travel-activity patterns and the context within which travel decisions are made.
This workshop asks you to write an analysis report for data collected from Workshop 2 and provide policy implications for promoting active and public transport modes in commuting for employees and students of the university. Remember, the client wants to know how our employees and students are arriving at university, how long it takes, what changes would motivate them to shift to active or public transport modes

Topic: Critically discuss to what extent crime can be managed?

You should give some consideration to the theoretical underpinnings of the question, both in terms of crime causation and crime reduction. This is a very broad question so you may choose to focus on a particular type of crime/offence or particular type of offender. You could also focus on a particular type of organization or institution if you wish. Bear in mind that there are a myriad of ways that crime can be managed, from the acknowledgement of its occurrence, to the accuracy of measurement, the risks associated, and the organizational culture and to crime prevention and reduction. Remember you are being asked to critically discuss how crime can be managed so you should not simply describe how crime can be managed. For this assignment you need to think about the issue of managing crime critically and consider both the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
