Project Management project Quality Management 4 quality: Quality and Deming Quality and Juran Quality and Crosby Quality and Ishikawa In the first week of the course, we take a look at the contributions of some of the most well-known quality management gurus. In this individual assignment, your task is to compare and contrast the work or quality philosophies of two of the gurus. You can select any two based on your preferences. Questions you may want to address include: 1. What are the differences and similarities between their quality philosophies? 2. How do their contributions apply in practice? Support your response with examples 3. What is your preferred quality philosophy and why? 4. How does your preferred quality philosophy influence your personal life? 5. What advice do you have for an organization that would like to apply this philosophy in the workplace? Write a short paper containing the answers to these questions. Successful reports will include: Evidence of research from academia and other reputable sources (Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source). References are correctly cited within the body of the paper. APA format is required for in-text citation. Examples of personal experience (work, life) that supports the research. All references cited correctly at the end of the paper (Reference page). APA format is required for reference pages. Use APA style for in text citations and your reference page (double spacing not required). Your paper should be no more than 3 pages (single-spaced, 12-point font). CASE 1: CASE 2: Week 1 begins with an individual assignment where you will be comparing 2 different projects. From the 9 cases presented in this week's material, please choose 2 that are of interest to you for this first exercise to compare. NOTE: you will actually take one of these projects and use it for the Individual assignment in weeks 3 and 5. To assist you in completing this first assignment, you will find in Week 1 – Business Case and Project Initiation Documents/Templates and a Feasibility Template. It is not required to use all of these templates, but I would expect that you would utilize* at least 2 of these templates in completing the Project Valuation/Feasibility Study for the 2-project case study comparison. Remember, you are completing a business justification to indicate why you are choosing one project over another (only comparing 2 projects, not all 9). I would expect that you would provide an analysis that would include: Why is one project more feasible then the other? What is your preference? Why do you feel its success rate would be greater than the other project? Now let's create YOUR Comparative Analysis Document keeping in mind that you are taking sections from the various templates and embedding them into your document twice (one for each of the two projects). Start with the Feasibility Template. You should be able to complete the following sections for each project based upon the limited case information provided: 1.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. 2. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 3. TECHNOLOGY CONSIDERATIONS 4. PRODUCT/SERVICE MARKETPLACE 9. Findings & Recommendations (this would be a comparative summary at the end of your document) Now look through the other business templates and see if there are sections that you can ADD to your Comparative Analysis Document. For example, one of the documents shows Risks that each project faces and another addresses the Stakeholders that are involved and the impact of the project to the various stakeholders. Make sure you include references, an executive summary and an appendix. In your submission, I would expect that you would begin with an overview of the 2 project scenarios. Choose a couple of the templates provided that would be applicable to both project scenarios and complete the content. Make sure that you, at a minimum, address the following: High-Level Risk Assessment (where do you see the challenges, probability/severity of consequence (simple grid) for each project Scenario). Which project seems more "risky"? Cost/Benefit Analysis: High Level - What are you seeing is the possible overall cost of the project and in particular the benefits. Which project seems to have greater overall benefits? Substantiate the Feasibility and Your Choice - when leadership is looking to support a project and choose between which 2 projects, they will want to support the project with the "biggest bang for the buck". Justification/Rationale/Reasoning/Assumptions - This is an analysis...build your case and support it!
