MNG91218 PM Initiation & Planning Assessment 3: Project Planning

Use of a Project Management software: One of the aims of this Assessment is to familiarise students with utilising project management software/ information management system (PMIS). Students are required to generate and submit a resource-loaded project schedule and budget that is conformant with Project Management Institute (PMI) industry standards. Students who are experienced in MS Project can elect to use this software if they already have personal or business access. Other PMIS software such as Project Libre may be used. It is recommended that students gain access and familiarise themselves with their chosen software early in the unit so as to avoid delays due to technological challenges. Note that if students are able to access a Southern Cross University computer laboratory, MS Project is available as part of the Standard Operating Environment.

Task:

Students are required to create a small project scenario that will form the basis of this assessment. This scenario can be completely fictitious or it can be based on past or present experience. Ideally, the project should reflect the industry you are working in and your professional interests. To ensure students create a suitable scenario, the following constraints apply: Limitation Constraint Funding (To cover fixed – variable / direct – indirect costs) Up to $100,000 (direct salary, wage, contract costs) Up to $100,000 (direct equipment, plant, materials, other consumable costs) Up to $10,000 (indirect costs attributable to the project) Time 2 – 6 months duration from project start to finish Stages Project is restricted to one stage, which can have multiple phases. Work packages 3 – 7 primary work packages; 1 – 5 component work packages for each primary work package Activities 20 – 50 discrete activities / sub-activities. Work force 3-5 full-time project team members. 0-5 part-time or full-time external resources (contractors / subject matter experts (SME) / sponsor’s staff, etc.)

2 You also need to consider if the project you want to use for this assessment:

• Will successfully achieve a practical outcome in the “real world.” • Will not create an excessive workload that puts your assessment at risk. • Is comprehensive enough to satisfy each part of the assessment. Please contact the Student Learning Facilitator if: 1. You are unsure about any of these constraints or you are having difficulty in selecting an appropriate project for this assessment. 2. If your preferred project is likely to break any of the constraints listed above.

Criminal Law: Crime & justice in urban study

Scholars and social justice advocates have argued that NYPD’s use (or misuse) of broken windows policing created more problems than it solved in high-crime communities through aggressive policing and massive arrests of low-level offenders. Between 1980 and 2013, for example, there was a 190% increase in misdemeanor arrests. In 2017, City Council enacted the Criminal Justice Reform Act to address the problem of over-policing. Specifically, it decriminalized five offenses (public consumption of alcohol, public urination, unreasonable noise, littering, and all NYC Park offenses), requiring police to issue civil versus criminal summonses to violators. In a ten-page paper, discuss the success (or lack of success) of the Criminal Justice Reform Act. Your argument (thesis) must be based on published studies, newspaper articles, reports and the data you gathered from your visit to Criminal Court1

FORMAT:

1). Introduction (one or two paragraphs) The introduction should introduce the reader to the topic and tell the reader why he/she should care about it or why it’s important. Then state your thesis, or the main point you will argue/prove in your paper. Essentially, the introduction tells the reader what you’re going to argue in your paper and why it’s important. As we discussed in class, you have three possible thesis statements: The CJA is succeeding in meeting its goals. The CJA is failing to meet its goals. The CJA is showing progress in meeting its goals but more work needs to be done. Be sure to state somewhere in the Introduction what the goals of the CJA are!

2).Background/Literature Review (approximately 1 to 2 pages) Here, you will present important background information about the subject. First, you will need to discuss the genesis of the CJA, in other words, why the City Council pushed for the CJA. Part of the reason is that they recognized the devastating effects of two decades of broken windows policing, and how it saddled thousands of young black and Hispanic men with criminal records through NYPD’s overreliance on stop and frisk as well as the overuse of criminal summonses once stop and frisk, as had been practiced by NYPD, was found to be unconstitutional. You will find information on NYPD’s overreliance on broken windows and stop and frisk as well as their impact on young men of color in journal articles in your course pack. The piece by Barrett and Welsh (2018) comes to mind. You will paraphrase all factual information and cite every sentence in your paper that contains a fact that is not common knowledge. For example: Broken windows policing has created a divide between the police and young men of color in high-crime communities (Barrett and Welsh, 2018).

3). Methodology (one or two paragraphs) Next, in a separate section called “Methodology,” describe the methods you used to gather the data for your paper. In this case, you used two methods: a site visit to Criminal Court and a review of the literature. Do not get into the specific findings here. Just discuss how you collected your data and where it comes from. 3). Findings: (about 2 to 3 pages) Here, you will present, analyze and discuss the findings that support your thesis. Keep in mind that your research question is whether or not the CJA is succeeding in accomplishing its goals. Therefore, make sure you restate what the goals of the act are. “Lightening the touch of the criminal justice system” is one goal. How is that measured? It’s measured by fewer summonses (civil or criminal) being issued, by summonses that previously would have been designated criminal and are now issued as civil, and by fewer warrants being issued. Your findings will come from your site visit to court, the evaluation study of the CJA in your course pack by John Jay’s Misdemeanor Project, the articles posted on BB, and any other sources of information you may find. You can use subheads to categorize each finding. Subheads might include: Fewer summonses, fewer criminal summonses, fewer warrants, etc.

4). Implications (about one page). Here, you will discuss the implications or the impact of your findings. Make sure to discuss the whole issue of returning to court. A major concern of critics of the new policy is that people simply won’t appear in court because they know a warrant won’t be issued. What does the data show about returning to court or answering to the civil summonses? 5). Policy Reform Recommendations (about one page). Here, present some steps that any component of the criminal justice system or government agency or legislative body can take to address any problems you identified.

Government Contracting & Acquisition students should include

Your assignment this week is to complete a visual executive summary by completing a Power Point. Your Power Point should be 10 pages and state your role (consultant), briefly discuss the problem, your research, and state your recommendation to the client. Remember to follow the Power Point Guidelines.

A portion of the grade will be based on Power Point Style. NOTE: Government Contracting & Acquisition students should include details about a potential contract as part of the recommendations presented. Consider that one possible solution might be to use a contract to address the issue (training, buy a new product, consulting or other products or services). The point of this exercise is to challenge you to succinctly summarize your thoughts in a visual presentation. This is a useful skill to learn. You may not always have a long span of attention from those you wish to influence, so learning to condense your thoughts into a visual presentation will be a tool you may find valuable to your future success. Submit a minimum of a 10 page PowerPoint Executive Summary recommendation to the client. Reminder: Include a title page with your Power Point. No References are required for this assignment.
