Evaluate how organizational performance changes leadership behaviors.

 Discuss ways in which you can add overlays onto your Google Map app. 

conclusions with our own perspectives that have been shaped by our experiences. As we begin our first discussion, take a moment to consider what has influenced your ideas of diversity and compare those ideas with what you read in this module’s readings. Then, address the following:

• Introduce yourself to the class by sharing a bit about yourself, such as your preferred name, where you’re from, and your major.
• In your own words, define the term diversity and discuss how it is used or impacts your daily life. How does your definition compare and contrast with those that were presented in the readings?
• What is the influence of diversity on your chosen field of study or future profession? How can you use your understanding of diversity in your professional career?

In response to your peers, provide feedback about their definition of diversity. Compare and contrast your answers and consider the following:

• What are the similarities and differences between your peer’s response and yours?
• How do the two definitions of diversity help to illustrate how diversity and society are intertwined? How can a perspective through the four lenses help to provide a greater understanding of diversity?

Make sure you support your response with the readings from this module, and any additional resources if needed.

You have been retained by Widget Sales Company, an international company with offices in 25 countries, to develop a website that will allow its employees to enter travel expenses incurred on a business trip and store that data for reporting purposes (see Widget Sales Company Project Overview [DOCX] for more information). It is estimated that, initially, only 100 employees in the United States will use the system, but within two years, all 2,500 employees worldwide will be using it. The site should have functions that ask for input and calculate the following:

• The total number of days spent on the trip.
• The time of departure on the first day of the trip and the time of arrival back home on the last day of the trip.
• The amount of any round-trip airfare.
• The amount of any car rentals.
• Miles driven, if a private vehicle was used. The vehicle allowance is $0.58 per mile.
• Parking fees. (The company allows up to $12 per day. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)
• Taxi fees. (The company allows up to $40 per day for each day a taxi was used. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)
• Conference or seminar registration fees.
• Hotel expenses. (The company allows up to $90 per night for lodging. Anything in excess of this amount must be paid by the employee.)
• The cost of each meal eaten. On the first day of the trip, breakfast is allowed as an expense if the time of departure is before 7 a.m. Lunch is allowed if the time of departure is before noon. Dinner is allowed if the time of departure is before 6 p.m. On the last day of the trip, breakfast is allowed if the time of arrival is after 8 a.m. Lunch is allowed if the time of arrival is after 1 p.m. Dinner is allowed if the time of arrival is after 7 p.m. The program should ask only for the costs of allowable meals. (The company allows up to $18 for breakfast, $12 for lunch, and $20 for dinner. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)

The program should perform the necessary calculations to determine the total amount spent by the business traveler in each category (mileage charges, parking, hotel, meals, etc.) as well as the maximum amount allowed in each category. It should then create a nicely formatted expense report that includes the amount spent and the amount allowed in each category, as well as the total amount spent and the total amount allowed for the entire trip. This report should be written to a file.

Phase 1 Instructions

In this phase, you will be analyzing the project from several different roles: Project Manager, Database Analyst, and Python Developer.

For each of these roles provide:

• A high-level overview of each role. This will be very general and describe what a project manager, database analyst, and developer are expected to perform in any project.
• What information each role will need in order to complete that portion of it. This will be specific to this particular project. Include the departments and (or) personnel with whom each role will need to interact so there is an overall plan concerning how to proceed.

If you are unfamiliar with any of the roles, you can research the Internet for more information. Feel free to reach out to your peers, as many of these roles are represented by the various majors in the course. This should be a high-level analysis; the details will be provided in Phase 2 of the project.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Analyze the roles of team members and data and functionality requirements needed to develop an application.

 What are some of the industry standard certifications that exists.  Which ones are the most sought after in the IT security field and why? What are the requirements for the certifications, test, number of questions, duration, domain, years of experience required?
 

Touchstone 4: Python Journal Project

ASSIGNMENT: For this project, you will learn how to effectively plan, design, develop, and test an original program of your choosing. This program is your choice and it can be as complex as you wish. The goal is to start with an idea for your program and then step through the process of most phases of the development lifecycle to turn your idea into an actual program. This includes planning out the algorithm using pseudocode, coding your program using everything you learned from Units 1-3, and finally testing and debugging your program to make sure it fulfills your intended purpose. Being able to create your own program can be beneficial in any career field. Anything that can be programmed or automated in any industry could make your work a lot easier. Even as a hobby, it can give you a reference point to have a better understanding of how to deal with common issues. Using basic Python to automate menial tasks can save you time and money! Whether you were in this class to learn programming at a professional level or if it’s just for fun, you will benefit from learning coding as a foundation of your technical skills.

For this Touchstone, you will fill out a journal (template link below) which has five sections that correspond to the five steps you will complete for your final project. Use this template to write your journal responses for each section of the project. When you have finished, you will submit this journal as a Word .doc/docx.
 

 1 Back to basics to start this course:

1. Define project.
2. What are the five project process areas – give a short explanation of each.
3. What are ten project knowledge areas – give a short explanation of each.
4. Define Project Risk – list the major processes related to project risk – explain how risk remediation is a [part of every day of pur lives.
5. What were the variables you were tracking related to quality? How would you define quality in this project?
6. Why is risk a dynamic variable within a project?
7. How can a risk be related to a desirable event?
8. Did you anticipate any risks at the outset? Did the project experience any outside forces that caused a change in either the objectives or the approach to achieving those objectives?

#2 What is Agile?How is risk handled within an Agile project approach such as Scrum?What are the 10 project knowledge areas?In what ways can the following activities be seen as projects?In what ways do they resemble ongoing, routine business activities?Feel free to add assumptions and details to describe how the activity might be a project in one context and routine in another.

1. Reading the chapter before attending a university lecture.
2. Taking the bus to work each day.
3. Piloting an aircraft between Vancouver and Fiji.
4. Teaching a course for the first time; teaching the same course every semester.

 The above submission should be three pages in length.  Remember the total length does not include the APA-approved cover page or the references.  There should be at least three APA-approved references to support your work. 

Task 1:

 Kirk (2016) states that the topic of color can be a minefield.   The judgement involved with selecting the right amount of color for a particular application can be daunting. With regards to visualizations, there are different levers that can be adjusted to create the desired effects (Kirk, 2016). The levers are associated with the HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color cylinder. Select and elaborate on one of the following:

• Color Hue Spectrum
• Color Saturation Spectrum
• Color Lightness Spectrum

Read Chapter 9 of the Graves text, Document Analysis.

Using above point as a reference, eExplain the concept of information stores. Why is an understanding of how different clients store messaging information critical to the success of an email search?
