Project Management Team Deliverable 1

Topic:

The three project potential selections are home addition, garage conversions to an apartment, and a flash mob projects.

Work with the project team to identify and discuss three (3) potential projects.  Discuss which of the available projects are suitable based on the team’s composition.

Review the following article on SMART Projects.

Draft:

Project managers are responsible for every aspect of a project, from its start date until project completion. A project is something that is intended to have short shelf life and is an activity of manufacturing something that is useful and different in nature (Management Study Guide, 2021 para. 1). This paper will describe and detail the reason for selection of the groups top project, predicated on the project’s anticipated goals, benefits, and key success criteria. The group selected the home addition as their top project. This paper will also describe the three potential projects the team discussed, analyzed, and selected. 

The three project potential selections are home addition, garage conversions to an apartment, and a flash mob projects.

COMPLEXITY AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH IN THE EMERGING DIGITAL WORLD

This week’s journal article was focused on the Complexity of Information Systems Research in the Digital World.  Complexity is increasing as new technologies are emerging every day.  This complexity impacts human experiences.  Organizations are turning to digitally enabled solutions to assist with the emergence of digitalization. 

Please review the article and define the various technologies that are emerging as noted in the article.  Note how these emerging technologies are impacting organizations and what organizations can to do to reduce the burden of digitalization.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

  • 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
  • APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

Project 1: Block Encryption in CBC Using 3DES

 

For this project you will solve the problem presented using Figure 7.17 located in our text and write a 2-3 page report that includes the following: 

  • 2-3 pages of content minimum (does not include cover, abstract or references pages)
  • Paper must conform to full APA guidelines to include a cover page, abstract, headers, introduction, body paragraphs with appropriate headings/subheadings, conclusion, and a reference page.
  • All sources must be cited and references. Remember, unless the statement is common knowledge, you must cite and reference your sources.
  • You must use at least one peer-reviewed source 
  • Ensure you follow academic integrity policies.  

Problem:  You want to build a hardware device to do block encryption in the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode using an algorithm stronger than DES. 3DES is a good candidate. Figure 7.17 shows two possibilities, both of which follow from the definition of CBC. Which of the two would you choose and why: 

  1. For security?
  2. For performance? 

You must fully explain your justification and reasoning.

Choose two chapters from Kathryn McPherson

  

Choose two chapters from Kathryn McPherson, Bedside Matters, our textbook for this course (any two of your choice, ie. chapters two and three, five and six. It might be better to choose two chapters that deal with a somewhat similar topic so that you are not comparing/contrasting “apples and oranges”).Present a critical analysis of these two chapters: do the chapters appear to present a true picture of the era in nursing history that they cover?Your thesis for this paper could be something like: “Chapters Two and Three of Kathryn McPherson’s Bedside Matters present an effective portrayal of X period in nursing history for X reasons.”When analyzing the chapters, you might also consider questions like:what kinds of primary and secondary sources did McPherson use?Were they effective in making her argument? What kinds of words/language did McPherson use in presenting her argument (i.e. longer words, words that were difficult to follow of understand)?How did McPherson’s diction/word choice influence her argument?Did one of the chapters appear to present a stronger argument than the other one?Why did one chapter’s argument appear to be stronger?
