All projects have a life cycle but are dependent on the two factors in deciding which life cycle to use. (1) The degree of the change needed, and (2) what is the frequency of the delivery of useful results. What are the five (5) proiect life cvcles and how do thev meet each of the two deciding factors? Q5 - Respond to the following questions about SWOT Activities - each could include one (1) or more factors Draw a box around the internal factor(s) Draw a box around the external factor(s) Draw an arrow for the Create factor(s) - starting at the initial factor and the force to the second factor Draw an arrow for the Counteract factor(s) - starting at the initial factor and the force to the second factor Copy the arrows and box as needed to complete the assignment Create a diagram the shows the business environment from the highest levels, down to and including the project level. Click on the circle diagram and enter the environments Add the missing arrows and risks to the pyramid (located below the pyramid). Which of these business environments should be included in the strategic plans? [Response] As you read in your reading assignments RASCl matrix identify the relationships between individuals and the major processes or stages of effort. A RASCI is a way of understanding the role of the stakeholder in any project. In your definition of a project you learned a project can be as large as creating a new system or as small as fixing a car, as long as there is an end date to the project. In this scenario we are going to build a RASCl to determine which one of the stakeholders has which role. There are two types of matrixes that can be used, RASCl and RACl. For this assignment we will be focusing on the one that includes the Supportive role. Instructions: In the following sections, respond to each of the following steps. In the chart below - populate the stakeholders and the work cycle. There are multiple stakeholders for the project - Car Owner, Shop Owner, Mechanic, Parts Supplies, and Delivery Services. We will learn more about Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) but they are the steps of a project. The high-level breakdown structure will help with creating the RASCl. They are as follows: Pay for parts and services, Determine parts and services needed, Supply parts, and Install Parts Based on the information provided, create a RASCI for our car repairs. Responsible, Accountable, Supportive, Consulted, and Informed What are the six external environmental impacts to a firm or organization? List out each of the impacts, and factors that contribute to the impact. Instructions: Replace each of the headings in B3 - F3 with the name of the impact. There could be 1 factor to 5 under each factor, list the contributing factors under each As you populate the chart think about how each impact and factor affect the firm or organization
