Project Management Activity

Project Management Activity - Wedding Planner Request in a Software Developer Field

A young couple have decided to plan a wedding and need help. Overwhelming plans, a reduced time schedule of 6 months, but the budget wasn't mentioned. Here is a quick sample of a project management exercise to use as a critique of what you would do in this area of expertise and not to mention out of your element!

Shylock	Don’t worry. My sister’s wedding planner was great. Let me give her a call. [Shylock calls the wedding planner Brooke.]
Wedding Planner	Hello Shylock and Erma!
Shylock	We want everything to be perfect.
	There is so much to do! Invitations, food, guests, and music.
Shylock	Oh no, we haven’t even booked a place!
Erma	And it has to be done right. We can’t print the invitations until we have the menu planned. We can’t do the seating arrangements until we have the RSVPs. We aren’t sure what kind of band to get for the reception, or should it be a DJ? We’re just overwhelmed.
Shylock	My sister said you really saved her wedding. I know she gave you over a year to plan.
Shylock	But I’ve always dreamed of a June wedding, and I’m not willing to give that up. I know it’s late, but Brooke can you help us?
Wedding Planner	Take it easy, guys. I’ve got it under control. We’ve a lot of people and activities to get under control. You guys really should have called six months ago, but we’ll still make this wedding happen on time.

Much work has to be done before June. First, Brooke figures out what work needs to be done. She starts to put together a to-do list:

• Invitations
• Flowers
• Wedding cake
• Dinner menu
• Band
• Reception venue preparation
• Transportation

Since many different people are involved in the making of the wedding, it takes much planning to coordinate all the work in the right order by the right people at the right time. Initially, Brooke was worried that she didn’t have enough time to make sure that everything would be done properly. However, she knew that she had some powerful time management tools on her side when she took the job, and these tools would help her to synchronize all the required tasks.

Questions

Please answer the following questions about the business case:

1. List some activities to accomplish the above to-do list and organize them under major deliverables in WBS.
2. What method should Brooke estimate (bottom-up, top-down) the time for these activities? Explain.
3. Discuss what tools that Brooke can use to manage the schedule.

7.4 Prepare a thank you card and small gift for the transportation company. 

__________________________________________________________________________

Brooke should use a top-down method since most of the elements to reveal certain selections require feedback from the RSVP link provided. Once the participation begins, it will be easier to acquire planning data like preferences, schedule conflicts, questions/concerns that the host can consider when planning will help that response time faster. 

Brooke would most likely be using an event planner website for project management and task listing when creating the project charter for services, drafting agreements between expectations of event and budget constraints with the time constraint in place as well. The guarantee does require insurance to cover an alternative event in the extreme emergency may need to be excluded and focus solely on the priority activities being requested. 

Other tools that will help are services that can provide website access to coordinate the bridal party, events, and response for updates on the event. Another great tool to use would be in any digital printing business, to have access to selections and different materials they can provide at an affordable cost. 

This was a mock exercise of planning a wedding event to practice instructional writing and procedure thinking in an analytical example. 

All character names are fictional. 

The software portion of it would be how the planner conducted the meetings and interviews that followed for fine-tuning details, cost, and maintaining the website with guest concerns. 

I have discussed technological aspects of DJ equipment but it was rendered as using a software package to use for accessing multiple outports that were controlled with the interface handle of equipment. It could be scheduled and programmed based on preference. 

The other technological details involved would be background logistics of each service and business that provided in this mock example.

Binary Jots with the Tongue

Poke a hole with the tip of your tongue to see your point!

Creative Writing using grid formation and the tongue to find sensual rhythms in isolation. 

Expansion is a muscle? Well, let's just imagine this for a second...

Value is a courtesy to indicate the location away from zero, normally, but, let's try where the value isn't value until you have stepped away from a range of zero (which internally is going to represent binary since 0 and 1 are dominant features of this relationship). We will begin with the number 2 as first. I don't say 1 or 0 here because it depends on how it is being used. 

We have this huge hole for binary in the middle of our graphing imagery of vectors and we need to configure this to have a linear presence for all of the usual mathematical arrangements. That is all we need to transition any mathematical concept into a theoretical practice! Linear mathematical arrangements act as control agents of change (depends on the arrangement and interpretation) if needing a known resolved step. 

So, because of this, our grid ends up looking like a contour of zero expansion (which is a muscle). What do we know about muscles that affects this entire grid because of zero being labeled this entity of movement, control, and instability? We know that a tongue needs other parts of the mouth to be mechanically operative. This isn't typical, so, continuing with the surmounting philosophy of new ideas it will be empty for the concept of idea alone, not the actual content. The grid itself is a null value, but it intends to escape this null value with the tongue!

The grid the tongue is on, needs to find a way out, mathematically. 

Some of the conditions include a zero space, binary, and a replicating field that is affected by the turmoil of the tongue. The type of space it is, requires no definition, it is just a reactive field for movement. 

The muscle is capable of movement. It is a living entity, so its connections are dimensionally maintained, here as a one-dimensional measurement. We know the object (tongue) is incapable of leaving the grid. 

Why? Because the idea of measuring the tongue is the main focus, that we never had to catch it, dissect it, or otherwise misplace it to merely measure. Let's assume that it can leave the grid. And we need to find a way for it, to leave the grid.

Tongue Behavior

Vecteezy.com "Mouth"

Basic Observation of Purpose: The essence of the tongue is to formulate sound, the echo based on the cavernous arrangement to protrude a sound into a tunnel effect for volume. The tongue can point, click, cluck, and move food as we chew. It is pretty peculiar of its surroundings, without any vision, to know when to point. That is a working intelligence for conditioned muscle that orchestrates the variations of sounds based on its contact. 

Basic Observation of Grid: It is acting like the cavernous mouth, except, the volume isn't key for its escape. The sound will not be leaving the tongue, or the grid, in this rendition of who escapes the grid! It has no opening outside of zeroes gaping centrally located hole, which is unexplained yet....

The tongue, begins to evaluate what it can do and the place it is, begins to react to it moving, causing the contour lines to move, up, down, buoyantly. Sensitive and impressionable from both directions. The tongue concludes that this place has no up or down, that it is the center of attention. 

At this point, the tongue, begins to stand upright, as tall as it can from the tip of the tongue and begins to balance its base to break any bind it can. Probity astounds the complexity of what is up and down when the base begins to spread across the grid, unaccompanied with the solid structure to maintain its protective shell from dehydration, which it picked up pretty fast, it's going to need something quick. It begins to wriggle, rotating from its spot, expanding at the base. It loses the muscle structure as it begins to grow tired and stiff from thirst. The tiny sporadic volcanoes are fuming an exhaust that is unable to replenish with the roof of a mouth and begins to shrivel inwards as it expands at the base. The openings die and it loses its sense of taste. It never got to taste, since this place, did not have food, liquid, flavor. The body of this beast never knew it had the pleasure of tasting to send a signal of satisfaction, for it to stop searching for thirst, which was assumed the only reaction at this time. 

Standing tall, it begs itself to stay, but cannot and falters down. Farther into dehydration, it begins to shrivel and loses its connection as a muscle. Detached, old, the space around it, begins to preserve it. The statuesque pose it portrays is grotesquely disfigured and ominous. Something abstract stains imprint to provide a surreal reality in transit. 

In the pose, configurations of its image and sense of speech transmit in this space - a concise tone that has no tongue to click its language into gear... the pitch is senseless and roams endlessly in place, away from the center of this grid, where the tongue perches like a miniature castle, waiting to be revived, repaired, replenished. 

the tongue. 

What does binary say, when all the words have escaped humanity and the epic journey of defeating enemies, friends, self-starting adventurers to summon their divinity through life to explain? You couldn't bring your bucket of water or pack of stones you carried with you in life. All you have, is the muscle that built your steps to the high rise of civility to explain your place in this world. 

The tongue, captures the tool to tell your higher power... all you have are binary methods to approach with: 

1. Binary is 1 or 0. 

2. Binary can speak a language if programmed. 

3. Binary is universal. 

4. Binary consists of null, null here is defined as the separation of value. 

5. Binary in this type of space, a space defined as non-directional and reactive to tongue, is able to change, granted, the tongue. 

_______________________________________________________________________________

Working the tongue over, it begins to fall apart, crumbling at the ground, the space around it shakes and crumbles the entire tongue on the ground, in the epicenter of this false cavernous echo, the smallest pieces begin to move contours throughout the space and it juts the land in uneven slurs of moved land as if painted with a large brush and stroked in quick passes like bunches of hand strewn grass, without the detail, being gathered and suckered into space to form thick dunes that are sweeping up and around, fooled by the interaction of a sound being made from the stilled tongue. 

It is just like zero to try and multiply, for the space to catch its every fiber and account for each piece as if to effect, evenly - ends up dispersed and in shambles. This is the impossible, zero in multiples! 

The tongue, now past its muscle state, are rolled up small buds with pockets of taste receptors, small fibrous hairs protruding like the echoes newfound floor where there is not an up or down in its stilled presence, still wrapped around the tongue's dehydrated buds, loosely in its dipped concave cup where binary is being held as a hand of loosely shelled pockets and slowly being worn down by the space as an effect of changing it. Harboring trapped air and fossilizing the direction of what is up and down, it spreads thinly as the thick curls that resembled shortly cropped curls on a young man's head are now matted down and slick with beautiful cupped taste buds (unaware of its shape and form) that were able to catch moisture, slowly, from the encased space that created small beacons made of taste buds. 

At this time, the world had developed, civilizations had risen, fallen, arrived from conquest, defeated, admired, and moved on together, as separate entities. The world still had a tongue. And now, with the reservoirs of salivated gatherings made from the sheer coincidence of dehydration and chance that befell a natural process - had the opportunity to provide a living tongue to the world that had developed without it.

What will you say, how will you say it and what do we really understand about the human body held in captivity with no sensual evidence of what it is that the relational aptitude for life is to digest its surroundings and leave when it is empty?

Java - crawling pace uphill...

 An amazing follow-up or intro for C# programming: Java

Learning Java was similar to C#, with minor differences. I realize, learning this many languages in a short amount of time, feels like a slur that is sloshing alongside the campus walls of memory deficits from not attaining a decent rhythm. I would love to work on a project longer than 3 weeks and develop the proper questions. It is so difficult for me to logically and internally decide the perfect path. The process of building the connections between each step that must occur, while exception handling, and as a new set of eyes on it... I realize, I need more time studying and planning each program I write based on a personal commitment to finish my tasks. 

Wow - if I could give advice here for someone struggling with completing the programs with the amount of time provided: Don't rush it, learn it, and do what you can. Regardless, it's about actually knowing the material and not taking the keywords, terminology, or the extra effort for exercises or research to clarify something being read from material. But, with time management, also at comfortable leisure to stay focus towards the task. Don't be afraid to fail, just apply yourself to gain more insight on the subject to remain familiar with it (these should also be half price for return students, Kinds've pricey).

I would actually recommend Java as a foundational language before C#, JavaScript, however - since they all intertwine with relatable concepts - your choice is as good as any other developers first pick. 

I used Eclipse IDE for Java developers, SQLite, and JDBC for SQLite in my projects throughout this course. I am working to improve the IDE experience with IntelliJ IDEA and SQLite with my final project that I didn't get to completely finish and use Eclipse as a tester IDE. I am looking on different ways to keep my code functional (since I have issues with debug working properly for me) and to structure with tabular testing at minimal in mind. 

I just need more practice! I haven't had time to do much extra since this past course, which I am not too confident in. As soon as you get the hang of things, it ends, and I end up moving into other skillset development which helps it being used in other courses (but its one of those things where you wish you had these skills beforehand) - simply, nothing you can do about it other than knowing self-improvement is also appreciating the time for self-glorification.

Internship - Career - Dreams

 Career Planning and Career Development Titles

    As an underrepresented candidate for any IT specialist position, I want to utilize all of my education and go forth the effort to enact Tsha Tewahsana (Its In The Middle) as a religious entity to accept worship services and religious doctrines to help with diversification in America models of civilization into the future agendas we see ourselves gaining foot in each day. Pursuing a B.A. or B.S. in Religious Studies or Theology with minors in IT courses that specify in binary computations and machine firmware technologies will aid that realistic dream of erecting a church in something I believe in is foundational to the future of my descendants. But not just for them to believe in, but for the world for them to exist in, as a world of study and improving upon with deliberate, willful choices made and lived. 

    The real reason I got into the IT industry was to pursue a small goal of building a slot machine. It grew further with enjoying the logical concepts I designed but came to a halting experience of learning another disposition to fuel the momentum to develop something new in the software development field. That meant learning and investing in it. 

    In my attempts, I've gained more knowledge in programming techniques, skills, knowledge, concepts, teamwork, and realize that this is not so far-fetched to do. I think spending time with an actual robot and programming it to do factorial maneuvers helped me realize that invention often oversees a mistake of physical limitation to endure. I have worked assembly lines before and know what those people go through, the pay they get, and what it means to have the job. Learning this material is a shock of how many that surrounded me did not know any of it or strived to learn it to improve their life. I want to make it accessible and understandable for them to consider it common knowledge at some point. It is shocking to think in an underrepresented community how much less of an impact we are making in the world and why population wouldn't matter on it. It's about having the representation to form an opinion of. We do not have many professionals in most fields in Native American populations as they struggle with transitioned lifestyles and cultural preservation. IT topics typically do not arise at the dinner table. 

    I understand what I am going to encounter in my future as an elder and preparing for it now is devastating to think what we are leaving behind in social conformity research with undergoing trauma, oppression, and guilt for blood thickener. We all have to conform at some point, that's just America. I suggest, doing it the only way I know how and reporting on it through curriculum, life learned lessons, and epiphany journaling until I can publish material that can contend with ancient philosophical correspondence to foundation. 

   

Career Title [that does not exist]

    IT development representation is minimal in Native American communities. I plan on being someone who will be able to transition Native American teachings into Computational Studies upon completion of the B.A. in Religious Studies. One goal of mine is to travel the Country and assist Native American communities with what they need with my skillsets. I know that with the MMIW campaign there are no database designs for Native Americans in some regions of America and the enacting process to keep them safe and identified has not been awarded with self-defense courses, advice on safety, and check-in location hubs for safety concerns. All of this is accessible with an app, database infrastructure, and plenty of time to monitor. 

    This is an over-achieving goal and extensive research is needed as one person. So, gaining the interest and teaching transitional material to provide them a great opportunity is the main priority for my career title that does not exist yet. I need help.

Internship [coming soon!]

    Currently searching for one and wanting to get hired on fully. I am looking for places to settle into a bachelor's program area of interest and perusing my options. I am nervous, I lack experience, skill, and terrible at navigating tools yet. More practice and more ambition is needed. It might be recoiling effects that are causing tides of change to forecast different favors in my mind. I just want to remind anyone reading this (maybe recruiter) that I have no mentorship that I can relate to in teaching to accept some of the material as historical reference can put it together (programming language and mechanics) so nicely for others. The language barriers are minimal, it is the concepts that are unfavorable. I have to learn it the hard way since there is no mentorship to understand what my question is - I have trouble formulating what my issue is for not understanding sometimes. Which is difficult to contend with in this field but when I can identify it - everything works in its prime state. 

I am a work in progress that will most likely be used as a bridge to a gap of learning style underrepresented in the IT field. Thank you for the patience ahead of time!

This is an informal post. A small explanation on my GPA, perhaps. I've never endured less than 3.0, heck, might even be less than 3.9. Studying in this program has been a challenge and it is something I want to continue pursuing in my religious studies curriculum with Native American Binary Mathematics.

2024 Holiday Season Closure

 I began reading a new book called "Teach Your Kids to Code: A parent-friendly guide to python programming" by Bryson Payne from no starch press in San Francisco, and excited to run some of the programs. I downloaded Python, but the window to run the code in goes absent. Hopefully, there's no cringing moment later on this in regard to maintaining the health of my download history. 

I finished reading another book by Joe Schmit called "Silent Impact: Stories of influence through purpose, persistence, & passion" which is a local debut to me. The small town shop I purchased it in is mentioned in the book and is signed. I recall now that I just wanted to check the price but ended up buying it. Good read and motivator to continue pursuing a publishing of my own. 

The last 10K I did this year was with Appleton's and Miron Company's "Fox Valley Marathon" where I did a tribute to my late mother, in regard to Cancer Research and Treatment. It was amazing and I am looking forward to next year's race already!

During this year, I received my Robotics Certificate, survived ASP.NET MVC and Entity Framework and refueled my interest/ambition with C# and the .NET Framework, and best of all - I learned of a specialty to pursue as an Embedded Software Developer working with machines and environments for AI. 

Hopefully you're warm, safe, and enjoying the holiday spirit!

C# Part 2: Projected Fails As a List

A self-evaluation of C# Part 2 at NWTC Fall 2024 semester. I had dreaded this course and OOP Programming in general as an expertise or specialty (which I want to commit to, by the way) due to the learning phase of it. Learning phases of something you want are confusing - you don't dread it; you are in a foundational mentality that lively hosts for how much you lack in comparison.

C# Part 2: Projected Fails

• Teamwork tasks incomplete, incomprehensible, undirected
• Resource gathering speed was not fast enough
• Internal built-in feature list is null
• Prioritizing schedule and time management

Pros : Projected Fails (Yes.. like a class. We are defining the positive outcomes with the projected fails list to offset and include how I somehow made up for it!)

• I was able to follow a template of instructional documentation (which I also suffer with writing, instructionally, since my first class back into college from my Social Science degree in 2013. I just got done with an IT Documentation course and was following this structure. However, the details entailed within the actual programming of a game, was nothing like an agile framework. Agile framework is the coordination of team environments to collaborate effectively for that time management. The actual task you commit to is entirely different structuring in the program - paying attention to this part was being more involved. I understood what was happening up to a point and once you lose track of the even further details in those processes of planning the program, the more difficult it is to maintain your developer role. 
• Spend the extra time researching C# tools, built-in features, and other relevant articles outside of documentation to reveal new coding hacks, tricks, tips. It's worth taking a dabble in. I would often get distracted, interested, and that information was useless because I wasn't using it. Take the time to find where that will be useful and place it there for you to review and use at that time. 
• Developing the perfect questions. Before you can do this, you are resolving with solutions to put a tangible essence with the code for the program to operate as it should. This part, I shadowed my teammates as they talked through their processes. It helped me envision how they were solving a bug, logic, or invoke method crises. Don't be afraid to let the group know you are falling behind in making sense of what to do next. Don't worry too much about how to get your code to work from theirs, at this point. Do the code. Share. Then everyone can figure out how to instill your code into the project together. 

Team project #1 with 4 members was tough with GitHub as a first-time user of it. My files would be unfound, too many changes without maintaining a push/pull commit flow for only making minor changes or reading code or outlining something minimal as an undone forced commit. I did ruin the project towards the end but was able to fix it though! 

It was rough, I don't know how they did it. But it was a good learning experience for me. I truly enjoy learning in this program and want to continue to improve. Making notes of this now will help me recollect my future progress to recall how to help the next person in their beginning steps. 

Yaw^!

Just do it.

The only way to know, is to do it!

Going into my C# Part 2 course and IT Training this term, coming from A results in my first half with ASP.NET working with MVC techniques and IT Documentation. I will be in a team environment with my C# Part 2 doing a game project with specific tasks each week. In the other course I will be doing presentations and training engagements to critique our group assemblage events as a host/presenter. All of this is relevant for learning in the Software Developer Program at NWTC. 

I began reading more documentation and relying more of my comprehension and study "tone" to have the documentation perspective, rather another blog or social media article that is characterized for fun, sales pitch, or otherwise positivity in general. Another tip for what to do or what to think like when doing a study session - is important. It helps you absorb the content, remember it, and adjust to your space as that learning environment. Teaching yourself to iterate within your own context or guidelines helps bridge later updates in terminology, change in software documentation style/deliverance, or anything that you disagree with personally (you can correct this yourself to accept - bypassing the dissonance cognitive effects that may or may not happen).

Before you do it, talk to someone that has been through it (learning how to code, going into IT, building a career) and what advices they have or would change in their understanding of the material. At best, most guidance will suggest to just immerse yourself and adjust as you can. The majority of subjects that you can excel in academically is easy money but for how many others like you? Looking at the statistics, what will be needed, and the AI competitive edge for learning skills and who isn't needed in the company later provide us with what should be learned today. 

I write this blog for readers who are interested, brand new, or in any point in their career can remember that there are many underrepresented minorities out there trying to understand from an entirely different mindset. I want you to know the types of questions I have about what I am learning and to maintain transparency for the pioneerism involved where in comparison to other categories is about 1% representation. We are coming from a different value system (remarkably) and teaching methods (generational adjustments). One of the ethno-study objectives I have learned with my first associates degree in social science is that the cultural exchange is not done yet. Now that we have transitioned into an American culture of technology, the intake of world philosophies templates are available and we are just beginning to study and compare with our own perspectives. 

For all the Natives who ever wanted to bring purpose to cultural revitalization whom are interested in doing the interpretation in comparison, with our own scope, and without any other intention than each of their own re-learning a tone in their touch to the stars. We may not have it that way, so we have to converge as one without interfering with personal guidance in public parameters. The influence is plentiful and without the time or audacity to create the scope itself to measure up with. 

Don't be afraid to be who you are and what you believe in. 

Just do it. Probably the best quote for action impediment.
