You were excited until you started and within first the few days, the director of HR came into your office and indicated that the employees were threatening to strike and go to the media if things were not fixed immediately. Since you were successful in your Statistics course taken during
- 4. the Summer of 2013, you decide that you will assist the HR Director with her analysis. Problem 1 - The employees have indicated that 95% of employees in one of the departments are receiving higher salaries than any other department because their supervisor parties with them each weekend. Some employees only have an hourly rate which you have to calculate their yearly salary before completing the calculations. Please calculate the 95% standard deviation for each department and indicate for me if any department is receiving on average $2k or more on the high end. Department 1 Department 2 Department 3 Department 4 Department 5 $22,450 18,550 B 22555 19050 $30,050 27,050 16765 29950 21545 $23,785 26,785 30050 23785 27950 A 25050 29955

If so, which department and be sure to explain your answer. Problem 2 Find the five number summary for the data for all five departments. Consider all five departments one department. Problem 3 Find the Q3 and median for Departments 1 and 3 individually. Which department has a higher Q3? Which department has a higher median?

The purchasing business should possess’ long-term management preparation used for choosing, approving and upgrading software programs such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and other software products which are reusable. If a mixture of these constituents is increased in the new systems, the demand continues to grow. The new software management plan and COTS usually help to facilitate the purchasing of new programs management of COTS and some of the reusable software. The project addresses how new COTS and reusable software will provide the strategy that outline data management about monitoring interdependency of software, tracking, choosing specific features and documenting those choices. The reusable software and COTS presented in this project functions as a guide for how to accomplish new software components and COTS in a complex system (Anderso, Smith and Ward, 2007). The purpose of this project is help in identifying the techniques and collaborative processes in handling the new software components, and to address the risks and other issues. Some of the actions that must be taken to
- 7. address the risk and issues include identification of the components that can be shared across the software system and encourage their use (Anderso, Smith and Ward, 2007). Project Scope This project seeks to justify the new development on the application of COTS solution. It also provides introductory information about COTS and new software programs and describes its relationship to other program plans (Anderso, Smith and Ward, 2007). The anticipated deliveries include: to eliminate the baseless production of similar but different software components which are reusable across the organization and support the quantity discounts if possible. Secondly is to describe strategies for the program and approaches to managing and developing software components and COTS, which provide an origin for supporting roles and possesses (Anderso, Smith and Ward, 2007). Thirdly is to provide a summary of roles of the program that are affected by development plan and includes an overview of the operation that supports the software plan strategies. Additionally, to ensure software development plan is implemented by describing the programs processes. Finally, to describe the activities that exceeds the development of the systems and employs reusable software components. However, the project is not going to cover how the system will be maintained and the procedure of installation, therefore it is upon the company to recruit experts. Project Assumptions The initial conditions of the project include the schedule for working hours occurs between9:00am-4:00 pm. At least six staffs will be working at 20% dedicated time. Failover setups are based on the timeframe of 5:30 am to 6:30 pm. The availability of staff vendor and partner needed. The final conditions are the staff who will be dedicated will remain in their current roles. The choice of the research will not be modified. The staffs who are dedicated will cross-train one another. New hardware is functional. The testing of the database will utilize mercury load runner and will require a professional

In plain English, what are the deliverables? What are the users expecting to receive? �Is this software replacing existing software? If so, are their boundaries with other systems that need to be preserved or altered? Test101 Now that you have received formal authority to pursue the project through the Project Charter, you will need to elaborate the scope of the project and produce a Scope Statement that will define the scope and boundaries of the project. The PMBOK v5 defines “define scope” as “the process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.” The difference between the Charter and the Scope Statement can
- 10. be confusing, since they seem to say many of the same things. However, the Scope Statement is an in-depth elaboration of the material first covered in the Charter. From the book (Chapt 5, p. 195): "Although contents vary, project scope statements should include at least a product scope description, product user acceptance criteria, and detailed information on all project deliverables. It is also helpful to document other scope-related information, such as the project boundaries, constraints, and assumptions. The project scope statement should also reference supporting documents, such as product specifications that will affect what products are created or purchased, or corporate policies, which might affect how products or services are produced. " What you are entering now is the investigative phase of the project, where you work with the stakeholders and end users to make sure that all parties fully understand what it is that the project is tasked with producing. This in-depth elaboration is necessary, because it will form the basis for your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is how you drill down and estimate the work involved with the project. Put yourself in the shoes of the end users and think about what their expectations are for the project's deliverables. That is what you are verifying with the scope statement. Please use the attached template for this assignment. For the cost estimate, you can use real numbers if you have them, or just make up numbers if you don't. If you have any questions, please let me know.
