Since metrics keep stakeholders in tune to the health of a project, metrics must be a clear and truthful representation of project status. Consider this scenario.

You are the project manager of a company that does home remodeling and you have just been given a major remodeling project which will update the electrical and heat and air systems, kitchen, and the single bathroom of a house built in 1930. Your project also adds another bedroom with a master suite. The client has authorized a budget of $95,000 and wants the house ready for Thanksgiving, which is six months away.

Your general contractor (GC) has called you in to discuss the project and asks you to put together a set of metrics that will communicate the project status to her, to the homeowners, the building trade groups, and any other stakeholders. Your GC has asked to meet again in three days with your recommendation which you must be able to defend.

Prepare your metrics of project health and be ready to defend the following:

• how many metrics you will use and why that is the “right” number,
• what the metrics are that you have chosen and why,
• explain that you will use both quantitative and qualitative metrics what they are and why,
• explain how and when you’ll get the data,
• what metrics will allow you to find mistakes early enough in the project for correction, and,
• explain which metrics will improve client satisfaction.

Remember that metrics must have a purpose, have a baseline and target, a way to measure, a way to appropriately interpret them and a reporting structure. Be ready to defend your choices relative to those things too. You will present your ideas in a formal paper for the purposes of this class.

Paper Requirements:

• Be sure to properly organize your writing and include an introductory paragraph, headings/subheadings for the body of your work, discussion recommendations, and a conclusion.
• Format your entire paper in accordance with the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).
• Your paper should be at least five pages. The page count does not include the required title page and reference page, nor does the page count include any supplemental pages, should you use them, such as appendices.

Prepare your work using at least one of this week’s required readings and one outside reference (a peer-reviewed scholarly article published in the past five years). The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find these resources. The Library offers this Project Management Resource Guide (Links to an external site.) to assist you with research and writing.

Question B

In May 1884, May 1, 1886 was established as the effective date for the eight-hour day. This is the modern origin of May Day. Previous to this class, were you aware of the origin of May Day? What do you think would happen if you initiated a 7-hour work day, or four day work week?

 see details 

 After researching a country (outside of the United States) with a single-payer health care system, share a summary of information regarding how the single-payer system works in that country of your choice. Include both the specific benefits and specific drawbacks of the system. Look at the discussion board to see what countries’ information has already been posted, and choose a country that is not posted yet to ensure a wide variety of examples for us to review. Your summary should be a concise 200-word response, using peer-reviewed sources to find facts to support your points.

Loyalty Programs

The purpose of this assignment is for you to evaluate frequency/loyalty programs as a viable promotional tool within an advertising program. Since almost all hotels use loyalty programs (frequency programs) as a form of alternative marketing, this assignment focuses on the hotel industry. From the list below, choose at least five hotels to evaluate; assess the hotels’ loyalty programs based upon the overall value to the customer:

Best Western,

Days Inn,

Hampton Inn,

Marriott,

Radisson,

Ritz Carlton, or

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.

Use the following criteria to comparatively evaluate each loyalty program:

Explain the investment that is necessary to earn rewards. For instance, consumers may need to invest money, time, or other resources.

Describe the system of rewarding points or awards.

Explain the redemption policies.

Describe any additional requirements with respect to the redemption of awards.

Present your evaluation of the loyalty programs by creating a PowerPoint presentation with at least 10 slides (not including the title and references slides). Critique each loyalty program, and decide which ones are the best. Then, explain why they are the best. Make sure to cite the websites you analyzed, your textbook, and at least one additional source by using correct APA format. Use the “Notes” feature to elaborate on the contents of each slide.
