Signature Assignment

Signature Assignment: Project Implementation Plan: Part 1 (Human Resources Management Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, and Procurement Plan) for

the Team Project
Resources: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, final project charter and final project plan
Write a 1,400- to 2,100-word Project Implementation Plan for the project selected by the Learning Team in Week 2 which will also be used for the

final implementation plan for the Project Selection Paper Assignment. Part 1 of the plan must include the following sections:
• Human Resources Plan: Complete the human resources plan for the project as defined in section 9.1.3 (Develop Human Resources Plan) in A

Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge. This plan should include roles and responsibilities, a project organization chart, and a

staffing management plan. Your plan should:
o Analyze the roles and responsibilities in the following areas: Role, Authority, Responsibility, and Competency which are needed to

complete a project.
o Create a project organization chart that displayed project team members and their reporting relationships.
o Create a staffing management plan that included how human resource management requirements will be met by including when and how project

team members will be acquired and how long they will be needed.
• Quality Management Plan: Complete the quality management plan as defined in section 8.1.3 (Plan Quality: Outputs) in A Guide to the

Project Management Body of Knowledge. This plan should include the quality management plan for implementing the organization’s quality policy

and the quality metrics. Your plan should:
o Examine how the organization’s quality policies will be implemented.
o Examine how the project management team plans to meet the quality requirements set for the project.
• Procurement Plan: Complete the procurement plan as defined in section 12.1.3.1, titled Procurement Management Plan, in A Guide to the

Project Management Body of Knowledge. This plan should identify the types of external resources that must be secured, the process for selecting

and managing these external resources, and the metrics to evaluate the external resources. Your plan should:
o Examine how a project team will acquire goods and services from outside the performing organization.
o Examine how the procurement processes will be managed from developing procurement documents through contract closure.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Tables may be used to format and organize the implementation plan. They can be included within

the plan rather than at the end as normally required by APA guidelines.

Discuss some of the issues with this Op-Amp oscillations and explain the voltage swing and cause of potential failure of this circuit

The purpose of this lab is to learn to use MultiSIM to construct and simulate oscillator circuits. Two oscillator circuits will be constructed and the effect of feedback resistance will be investigated in order to produce oscillation. Students will be asked to extend the concepts presented in order to modify the given circuit to allow for a variable output frequency. 1. Watch the video Week 6 – Oscillator Circuit 2. Read the section 11.3 and construct the two oscillator circuits in Figure 11.3 from the textbook and simulate the circuits. 3. Use the Agilent oscilloscope to observe the oscillations and measure the frequency. 4. Analyze the oscillations of Op-Amp and Comparator circuit and compare the Op-Amp circuit with that of the Comparator circuit. 5.

Organizational Development in Health Care: Theory and Application 3

Post a(substantive) response to the following text:

The text discusses the characteristics of complex adaptive systems and managing those systems. How do such systems differ from traditional

management systems? How are they the same?

Peer
In the advent of the new perspective in the way systems work, it was recognized that most things are changing and evolving. There was a need to

put more emphasis on the relationships between the parts than how parts work. This is how Complexity Science emerged. Complexity Science

recognizes that a system is a universe. Protocols and standards change over time. Roles become diversified. Some tasks even overlap. Research

findings differ in each span of time. The traditional method examines each factor of the system and understands the mechanics of how every part

works. For the healthcare system, it has been this way up to a couple of decades ago. The traditional view of health organizations is taken as

something like a machine wherein the functions of each part is considerably analyzed when trouble starts to set in. The cause and effect of

problems in the system and the corresponding solution are found and explained by the functioning parts (Hunter, 2018).
The traditional system and Complex Adaptive Systems, which are under complexity science, differ in a variety of ways like:
Roles; which the traditional system emphasizes management and chain of commands while complex adaptive systems focus on leadership and

collaboration.
Method of mobilizing people; in the older system, the control is done by the highest in the hierarchy. Information goes down a unidirectional

channel through commands. The newer system however utilizes positive and negative reinforcements, recognizing achievements and focusing on the

behavior rather than the person when rectification is needed.
Measuring improvements; in the traditional way of organizing healthcare systems, one way of measuring improvements is through realization of

activities that were deemed necessary to develop a system. Ticking all activities in a checklist means success. On the other hand, Complex

Adaptive Systems allow diverse ways on achieving success, measuring outcomes instead of activities.
Focus of Success; in the traditional system, focus of achieving improvements is through efficiency of each component. Complexity science looks

at agility, the trends and changes within the organization.
Working Relationships; with the newer system, personal commitments describe work relationships as compared to contractual work with the older

system. This coincides with the method of improvement that looks at accomplished activities regardless of the people behind the success in the

traditional system. In contrast, Complex Adaptive Systems create work commitments from people who become experts in the process. This becomes

part of process improvement.
Organizational Network and Design; while the older system deals with hierarchy that is adamant about its organizational design, a complex

adaptive system is hierarchical that allows dynamic self-organization.

Keep in mind posting, should be substantive based on evidence ( concepts, ideas, evidence-based research or practice which must be

cited) and well supported with examples and details (from professional experience is acceptable, but must be substantiated with supportive

evidence and cited appropriately [citation in text and a reference list). Brief responses and personal opinions are not

appropriate .The response should meet a minimal requirement of at least a paragraph in length, A paragraph should contain at least

three (3) complete statements.
