[SOLVED] Business Transformation and Growth
QSO 435 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric In Milestone One, you will select the scenario that you will use for your final project and review the various approaches to project management. You will submit an information paper targeted for the staff of the Program Management Office (PMO) of your scenario organization. Choose one of the three case studies presented in Chapters 19, 20, and 21 in your textbook. Here is an overview of each case study: Chapter 19: Case Study Valpak Valpaks ability to utilize technology to transform their business is a very significant factor in their business success, and Valpaks IT group is an integral part of the business transformation and growth of the company. To compete with the quickly changing digital savings marketplace, Valpak transitioned the entire IT organization to agile Scrum/Kanban process with two-week sprint delivery cycles. They embraced this change and quickly adapted. Chapter 20: Case Study Harvard Pilgrim Health Care HPHC developed an incremental and iterative approach the Scrum framework for an agile transformation across the whole company. All projects associated with this major initiative, called the IT strategy, were, by default, to move to an agile development methodology. The new approach that was developed was a hybrid of Scrum at the team level and a more plan-driven approach at the enterprise level to provide program/project management of the overall effort. Chapter 21: Case Study General Dynamics UK Due to the nature of the government contracting environment that General Dynamics, UK has to operate in, projects have to work within two key constraints, time and costs, where other agile methods dont always have this. This case study illustrates how a company can successfully develop a hybrid agile approach that blends together elements of a plan-driven approach for managing time and cost constraints and still provide flexibility to their customers. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Scenario Selection: Provide an overview of the current situation, facts, assumptions, and project requirements. Analyze key principles of traditional project management (TPM) and adaptive project management (APM) with detailed examples of key principles andstakeholders. Explain how the triple constraint is handled in traditional project management. Review various types of project management (PM) approaches.Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your Milestone One submission, Scenario Selection information paper, must be 12 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Include at least three references cited in APA format.Critical Elements Exemplary (100%) Proficient (85%) Needs Improvement (55%) Not Evident (0%) Value Scenario Selection Meets Proficient criteria, andanalysis clearly provides an overview of the current situation, facts, assumptions, and project requirements, and identifies the key information from the scenario without superfluous considerationsScenario selected; accurately and clearly provides an overview of the current situation, facts, assumptions, and project requirements, and identifies the key information from the scenarioScenario selected; analyzes the current situation, facts, assumptions, and project requirements, and identifies the key information, but with gaps in accuracy or clarityDoes not select a scenario and/or does not analyze the situation, facts, assumptions, and project requirements from the scenario15Analysis of TPM and APMMeets Proficient criteria, and analysis professionally details the key principles and stakeholders behind traditional and adaptive project management, with detailed examplesAnalyzes the key principles and stakeholders behind traditional and adaptive project management, with detailed examplesAnalyzes the key principles and stakeholders behind traditional and adaptive project management, but does not provide detailed examples or misses key elementsDoes not analyze the key principles and stakeholders behind traditional and adaptive project management25Triple Constraints Meets Proficient criteria, and analysis professionally details the key principles of triple constraint (cost, time, and scope) in TPM, with detailed examplesAnalyzes the key principles of triple constraint (cost, time, and scope) in TPM, with detailed examplesAnalyzes the key principles of triple constraint (cost, time, and scope) in TPM, but does not provide detailed examples or misses key elementsDoes not analyze the key principles of triple constraint (cost, time, and scope) in TP25PM Approaches Meets Proficient criteria, and review is well organized and detailed to a level that shows keen insight into the nuances, risks, and benefits of various types of project management approachesReviews various types of project management approaches and describes each approach based on specific references to the previous analysisReviews various types of project management approaches, but does not make specific references to previous analysis or lacks necessary detailDoes not review types of project management approaches
