Case Study 3 It was agreed upon by a board of top engineers that the basic design was sound and the suspension bridge had been constructed competently. The project’s original plan and scope management may have been an appropriate one if it was for a shorter bridge. Since this bridge was so long The planners started taking unknown and unnecessary risks when they determined the width of the bridge would be single lane versus double and when they changed the girders from round to flat‚ preventing

lessons learnt in the Blue Spider Project Case studies. The Blue Spider Project that Gary Anderson managed for Parks Corporation was a good example of an unsuccessful project. There were many aspects that increased project risk and contributed to the problems encountered. Some of those problems could have been prevented or resolved if Gary Anderson applied proper project management methodology. In any project‚ one of the most important success factor is the project manager being able to communicate

Hardware Replacement Project Steve Smithers How do the five major variables of project management—scope‚ time‚ cost‚ quality‚ and risk—relate to this scenario? Time – This would be the amount of time required to complete the project. Typically it is broken down into the time required to complete the components of the project. This is then broken down into the time required to complete each task contributing to the completion of the project Cost - Cost will typically be determined by the

Knight has incorporated the basis of the Human Microbiome Project to essentially map out the microbes of the human body on a worldwide spectrum into the oral‚ skin‚ vaginal‚ and fecal communities. In his project‚ Knight indicates that the microbes that colonize the human gut have a role in identifying obesity with more precision than genetic studies. He presents findings in studies with microbial associations with obesity in mice‚ which

The NASA project New Horizon may build on its successes via Kuiper Belt flyby. The New Horizon team of researchers also plans to study MU69 in more depth. Could this be another secret alien space mission? New Horizon had recent success after it accomplished its Pluto flyby without crashing or deviating from its scheduled course. This has been impressive for NASA‚ given the distance from Earth to Pluto. However‚ there may be more at stake for the MU69 mission. Maybe NASA is looking to make contact
