WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT – PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS

Week 4 Assignment – Project Recommendations

Overview

For this assignment, you will create a response to the following memo from your Project Manager:

MemoFrom: The PMTo: Members of the project teamAttached is the Gantt chart for the project. As you can see, we have a tight schedule. Please review it and comment on your area, as we know the coming project will be challenging. With everyone’s help, though, I’m sure we can pull this off with a minimum of scope creep. I look forward to hearing from you before the meeting on Tuesday.This project involves moving our current in-house system to a cloud solution. We are not sure yet if we’re going to partner with an outside company to manage the cloud services or if we’re going to just rent space on Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or other cloud services. I’ll expect a recommendation from each of you based on your area of expertise. Do your research and provide me the pros and cons of the option you are recommending. Be sure to share where you got that information, so I can take a look at your reasoning if I have questions. DO NOT just cut and paste what you find, but rather explain the pros and cons in your own words.

Instructions

Respond in a memo using the Word document template provided. There should be two parts to your response.

Part 1

The first part of your response is based on the research you complete determining whether to go with a company to manage cloud services or to rent space with one of the well-established cloud services. Include the following:

• A list of the pros and cons of both options. You should have at least two pros and cons for each option. 
• Your recommendation is supported by your research. 
• A list of the sources that informed your recommendation. Be sure that these sources are varied and from a variety of relevant perspectives. They should also be credible sources. For example, what Google claims their cloud service will do may not be the experience of a business using their service. In the same way, a small business may have a different experience with the same service a large business uses.

Part 2

The second part is the additions needed to the Gantt chart in your area of expertise. Consider what steps will need to occur in your area in order to make this project possible. Consider also the time it will take to complete each of the subtasks, keeping in mind the overall timeline of the project. Include the following:

• A list of subtasks that need to be added to your area of the Gantt chart. (For example, if you’re a networking specialist, you’ll need to decide what you’re going to do with the network to support the project. Are you going to hire an outside company to expand your network? Do you have the bandwidth you’ll need now that the system is going to be located in the cloud? How much time do you need to purchase equipment like an additional router or a better firewall?)
• A breakdown of any equipment that will be needed for each subtask and when it will need to be installed.

Here are some questions to consider for each role as you write your response memo:If you’re the IT Project manager, you’ll need to get recommendations from others on the team and then make your recommendation to the PM. What are the main considerations? You’ll need to research and come up with some options.If you’re the data analyst, do your research and find out what this transition will look like to the users in the company and your company’s clients/customers.If you’re the cybersecurity expert, what concerns do you have, and which methods will you use to secure the network and the cloud solution? What does the partner service provide, and what will we need to do/know in the company, and what training will be needed for users?If you’re a software designer, what interface will you need to create/adopt? How will the software you’re using now change if we relocate to the cloud?If you’re a data manager, how will the database platform change/adapt to the relocation? How will the data be packaged, secured, stored, transported, backed up, etc.? 

  Please complete this assignment: Assignment 4

    When you turn in the assignment, please include the entire project folder in your zip file.

FOR QUESTION 1 YOU HAVE TO USE VISUAL LOGIC SOFTWARE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUSTION TO CREATE THE PROGRAM

 1. Using Visual Logic, print 5 columns of 5 stars by outputting only one star in your output command and using while nested loops to print the rest. When using print in your output command, only one star should be output at one time. In other words to print 5 stars next to each other for example, you need a loop that repeats itself 5 times. 

FOR QUESTION 2 APA FORMAT AND CITATION AND 150 WORDS 

2.   What did you learn about the use of constructors in chapter 8? 

analyze the impact that business continuity planning has on risk management.  

You must use at least one scholarly resource. 

Every discussion posting must be properly APA formatted.

200 to 250 words

Submission Guidelines

Prepare a folder with your Matlab (m) and GUI (fig) files into zip folder

Description of Assignment

Develop a Matlab GUI that allows the users to label a connected component in the binary

image by clicking on one of its pixels.

Following are specific requirements:

– Your GUI must provide a button that allows the user to browse and select a binary image, and then show the selected binary image on axes.

– When the user clicks on a foreground pixel on GUI, you must use the position of mouse click as the starting point to implement the algorithm discussed in class to extract connected components.

– When the user clicks on a background pixel on GUI, there should be no change.

– You can use function ginput to read x and y coordinates of mouse click.

– You can use function imdilate to implement the morphological dilation operation.

– You must show the connected component output of the selected foreground object on a separate image next to the original image.

NOTE: 

Read the connected component morphological algorithm in the word file attached (Dilation-Connected component algorithm.docx)

Assignment should be done using “morphological algorithm” and on the images(Input Set) provided

Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing government planning and/or entrepreneurial innovation. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. You should use the UC library (https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles (https://scholar.google.com/ )Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately 3-4 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
