Contract Closeout W5 IP
ACME Development Corporation (ADC), a developer of custom homes and apartment complexes, has decided to standardize its project management practices and processes across its national organization The goal is to standardize with one single project-scheduling tool and to have the tool installed and be operational within 90 days To this end, the company is forming a central project management office (PMO) Until now, project managers (there are 40 presently on staff distributed all over the United States) have been able to use whatever scheduling tool they liked, within their budget constraints They have also been able to buy equipment and engage contractors at will The PMO will be determining one scheduling tool that all PMs will be expected to use, exclusive of any other scheduling tools The PMO will also develop and implement a standardized procurement process Because the PMs are located across the United States, a Web-based solution seems likely to be the most successful tool
As the project manager, you have been charged with implementing the procurement process, and you decide that your first project will be purchasing the scheduling tool for ACME Development Corporation
PMI is one of the world’s largest not-for-profit membership associations for the project management profession Our professional resources and research empower more than 700,000 members, credential holders, and volunteers in nearly every country in the world to enhance their careers, improve their organizations’ success and further mature the profession
PMI’s worldwide advocacy for project management is reinforced by our globally recognized standards and certification program, extensive academic and market research programs, chapters and communities of practice, and professional development opportunities
A sufficiently detailed statement of work (SOW) can assist with the negotiations during the bidding process as well as deal with potential conflicts during the execution of the contract The SOW can be utilized to address risks such as not meeting requirements or non-performance of work
Address the following in 4 pages:
Prepare a SOW with at least 8 sections You may use all of the information that you have compiled in the previous assignments to craft this final SOW
Summary
Review and reflect on the knowledge that you have gained from this course Based on your review and reflection, write 1 page on the following:
Evaluate your learning about contracting and procurement How has this learning changed your mindset about project procurement? Assess the effectiveness of project procurement processes and contracting strategy and how this strategy was used in the case study (scheduling tool implementation project) Explain what legal and ethical considerations must be considered in the case study project (scheduling tool implementation project)
How did participating in discussions help your understanding of the subject matter? Is anything still unclear that could be clarified?

A large company has invited you to join in a discussion with their legal and human resource officer about integrating ethics into and between their departments. They want your ideas. Use Figure 4.2 and any other ideas from this (and previous chapters) to outline what you would contribute. (Write up a paragraph to share with your class/group.)
 

Root cause analysis paper and graph: Chapter 9 also talks about it besides the resources below and please follow the grading rubric. On the last assignment, i sent you the rubric that was followed to score  the first assignment but still missed in the 2nd assignment as well. It’s due by next Thursday noon. Please confirm.
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to analyze serious adverse events. Initially developed to analyze industrial accidents, RCA is now widely deployed as an error analysis tool in healthcare. A central tenet of RCA is to identify underlying problems that increase the likelihood of errors while avoiding the trap of focusing on mistakes by individuals. RCA thus uses the systems approach to identify both active errors (errors occurring at the point of interface between humans and a complex system) and latent errors (the hidden problems within healthcare systems that contribute to adverse events). It is one of the most widely used retrospective methods for detecting safety hazards  (Retrieved April 17, 2015 from Root Cause Analysis | AHRQ Patient Safety Network) .

Assignment 2: LASA I—Amphetamine Use and Abuse
Aaliyah continues to struggle with balancing her work hours and her schoolwork. She has been drinking coffee to help her stay awake, but it is no longer working. She has an exam coming up and needs to stay up to study.
Aaliyah decides to take an amphetamine to stay awake to study for the exam. She promises herself that she will only take it this one time for the exam. The drug allows her to stay awake and alert while she is studying for the exam. She also feels that she is learning the material better as a result of the amphetamine. When the grades are in, Aaliyah receives an A on her work.
As the semester continues, Aaliyah turns to amphetamines more and more often to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork. Soon, Aaliyah finds that one pill no longer keeps her awake as long as she needs.
She starts taking more than one pill at a time. She knows that taking amphetamines so often is not good for her health, and she finds she experiences an increase in headaches when she takes them, but she continues to take them because they are helping her be successful in school and at work.
Based on the case study, prepare a paper that addresses the following:

Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present.
Explain to which schedule amphetamines belong and why they are on the Schedule of Controlled Substances.
Explain the effects Aaliyah might be experiencing as a result of her regular amphetamine use. Be sure to include:

Acute effects, chronic effects, and withdrawal
Effects on physiology (brain and body), behavior, mood, and toxicity

Give at least three indications from the case study suggesting there may be a problem with Aaliyah’s substance use. That is, describe at least three likely behaviors that Aaliyah is likely to exhibit if she is misusing amphetamines.

Determine whether Aaliyah has a substance use disorder. Include a discussion of DSM criteria. Use the template to help you make the assessment.
Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
