• What factors will help you create an effective variable rate (aka incentive) pay plan?
• How will you decide whether to use individual employee, work unit/team, organization-wide incentives, or some combination?
• What key performance indicators will determine employees’ variable pay?

Instructions:

1. Visit the Tech Republic  website – https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/tech-decision-maker/why-critical-path-is-critical-to-project-management/

2. Read the article: “Why critical path is critical to project management”

There are several additional topics on critical path. Please read them and answer the following questions in a page:

· Which of the articles gave what you believe to be the most value in relationship to critical path?
Explain why.

· Based on what you have read in the chapters (copied below)

and in the articles do you see a relevant critical path for your project forming, if so explain what it might look like and roughly how many tasks will your project include?

· Will all of your critical tasks be deemed critical and will they potentially have dependencies? Explain

· Explain which of your tasks on a critical path can present the most risk to a project, and explain what types of contingencies you need to put in place to protect the success of a project? Provide substantive details.

Book info on critical path:

The critical path method (CPM) was developed by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. as a way to schedule the start-up and shutdown of major plants. Since these plant activities were repeated frequently, the times were fairly well known. However, the time of any activity could be compressed by expending more money. Thus, CPM assumes a time–cost trade-off rather than the probabilistic times used in PERT. The CPM method of project scheduling uses a time–cost function of the type shown in Figure 14.9 for each activity. The activity can be completed in proportionally less time if more money is spent. To express this assumed linear time–cost relationship, four figures are given for each activity: normal time, normal cost, crash time, and crash cost. The following definitions are provided. Normal time: the planned activity duration. Normal cost: the budgeted cost for the normal time. Crash time: the minimum activity duration for additional cost. Crash cost: the cost needed to achieve the crash time. The project network is solved initially by using normal times and normal costs for all activities. If the resulting project completion time and cost are satisfactory, all activities will be scheduled at their normal times. If the project completion time is too long, the project can be completed in less time at greater cost by crashing (using less time) for certain activities.

Note: Only up to 20% of the content in the written response can be quotes from third parties. 

In Unit 2, you learned about a number of legal issues that impact the field of staffing. In this unit, you have seen that one critical tool for maintaining a legal staffing system is the job analysis. The “work product” of a job analysis that most of us see is a job description. Based on your current job (or one that you have previously applied for), use the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP) to respond to the following:

• Did the job have a job analysis/job description? If so, was this document in writing? If not, how was it provided to you?
• Was the job description current? If so, describe how you knew it was up-to-date. If not, how did you know it was out-of-date? Explain whether the old information was critical to successful job performance.
• What three methods described in the UGESP (criterion, content, or construct validity) would you use to update this job analysis/job description? Justify why.
• How would using O*Net OnLine be better for generating the job analysis for this position? Describe the specific job title you researched on the website and what your findings were from this resource.
