I Introduction Workplace transformation entails redesigning flexible workplaces to fit various job kinds, personnel, and technology The workplace has transformed significantly as a result of new technologies and more globalization Changes in technology, responsibilities, and capacities have generated a plethora of chances for organizational progress and transformation What are some of the major components that must be addressed when developing a digital transformation plan for a business? What impact has the Covid-19 epidemic had on workplace transformation? - Space, as it relates to office building and space architecture; - Location, in terms of how the labour is distributed throughout different places; - The technologies and procedures required for workers to carry out their responsibilities and cooperate; - Organizational structure and culture-related talent All of these features of the working ecology must be re-imagined in light of the current worldwide epidemic To assure a totally remote workforce, organizations have had to rethink their workforce planning The initiative will look into methods to provide flexible work locations and hours, as well as venues for employee collaboration and connection This will be given to your line manager in the form of a business case with recommendations for fostering a flexible, collaborative, and connected workplace Following a performance evaluation, you will need to consider the project in terms of your own personal and professional development The stages of the project lifecycle (PLC) and their importance to the success of a project (P1) Definition of project lifecycle (PLC) The project life cycle is a set of stages that a project goes through from start to finish It serves as the foundation for project management This fundamental structure is true regardless of the specific project activities performed I The stages of a project's development The stages of a project's development are described by a project life cycle, which is divided into four major phases: • Conceptualization The goal of the conceptualization phase is to define and authorize the project This phase focuses on creating the project's goals and technical details Determine the scope of the project and the resources necessary - the production of ideas study into new opportunities Pre-feasibility studies will be conducted to assess the options • Planning The goal of this phase is to present a thorough strategy for how the project will be implemented and successfully completed This is the stage during which specifications, diagrams, timetables, and other plans are created Work packages are stated, together with the jobs to be performed and the procedure to be completed - feasibility study - Preliminarily selected projects will be created in further depth in terms of content and implementation plan - supporting evidence for project success estimates, as well as project performance criteria, are outlined - court proceedings (if any) • Execution Project decisions and activities determined during the planning phase are carried out during this stage The project manager must keep an eye on the project and prevent any disasters during this period This method is often referred to as monitoring and control - scheduled actions will be carried out sequentially - check and monitor • Termination The project has been turned over to the client, and all resources have been depleted The project has been finished and reassigned - assess the project's efficacy - learn from both achievements and mistakes and failures - assess the viability of scalability or closure (Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc Publishing as Prentice Hall) Why Are Projects Important? Product life cycles have been shortened Limited product launch windows Products that are becoming more complicated and technological The rise of global marketplaces A low-inflationary time in the economy (For further information, see Harelimana JB Basic Concepts of Project Management, Austin J Bus Adm Manage 2017; 1(1): 1005.) III A range of research methods and strategies and their importance to project management (P3) Literature review definition The Literature Review is regarded as a critical component of the thesis-writing process for students This is the section in which students locate, summarize, and evaluate all scientific research centered on a specific research subject or question It is given in the form of a selfcontained research study that starts with a scientific article (Image credit: Invensis Learning) It provides an overview of current knowledge and enables you to identify relevant concepts, approaches, and gaps in existing research => A description and critical analysis of the work of other authors (concepts, findings, strategies ) Define the term "literature review." Writing The Literature Review not only provides students with a clear and correct grasp of the area they are studying, but it also plays a critical part in the following issues: - A literature review aids in the analysis and generation of new research topics for the implementation process - A literature review aids in the application of theories to real-world situations and provides researchers with fundamental and required notions - Aids in the knowledge and application of various problem-solving methodologies that may be used to research - A literature review also aids in the formulation of suggestions and directions for future study, while also providing particular evidence, contradictory concerns, and solutions (John Wiley & Sons Copyright 1999-2022) Investigational Methods a Definition Research methods are research techniques used to comprehend, analyze, and evaluate materials and data for essays, theses, and dissertations Methods of research are critical in assisting you finish and finish all assignments (© Merrie Barron & Andrew R Barron) b There are three types of Research methods • Quantitative research (Quantitative study) The word quantitative is typically applied to any data collection instrument (such as a questionnaire) or data analysis method (such as graphs or statistics) that generates or uses numerical data - Qualitative investigation (Qualitative study) The word qualitative is commonly used interchangeably with any data collection technique (such as an interview) or data analysis strategy (such as data classification) that generates or utilises non-numerical data - Approaches that are combined (Mixed methods) Mixed methods research is a subset of multiple methods research in which quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis procedures are combined Research Methodologies a Definition A Research Strategy is a step-by-step action plan that guides your thoughts and efforts, allowing you to research systematically and on schedule in order to offer good findings and detailed reporting (MacKenzie Corporation 2020, All Rights Reserved) A research strategy is a plan that describes how a researcher would approach tackling a research problem It is the methodological link that exists between your philosophy and the methods you employ to collect and analyze data Denzin and Lincoln (2011) b Different Types of Research Strategies - Experiment - An example - Quasi-quantitative polling (Quantitative survey) - Extensive interview (Qualitative interview) - Action research, sometimes referred to as action-oriented research Sample and Population • The term population refers to the complete group of individuals or things to which the statistical inquiry is applied;' • A sample is a small group drawn from a larger population Sampling frame The sampling frame is a comprehensive list of all instances in the target population from which your sample will be selected • The sample frame's aim is to allow individuals to be identified for selection reasons • Purposive sampling • Manual tasks, such as selecting numbered balls from a bag • Random numbers are generated by a computer the number of samples The bigger the size of your sample, the smaller the likelihood of mistake in generalizing to the target population Data gathering a Definition Data collection is the systematic gathering and measurement of information on variables of interest in order to answer specific research questions, test hypotheses, and analyze outcomes Websitehcm Themes (Copyright 2022) c Data types: The top five data collecting methods are as follows: - Sampling - Secondary information - Observation - Questionnaires - Interviews d The sampling strategy Definition of the Sampling Approach -In English auditing, the sample method is Sampling Method -Sampling methods are processes that are used to pick items from a population in order to apply basic and conformance tests for evaluation (Reference: Textbook of Auditing Theory, Financial Publishing House) Methods of Probability Sampling Probabilistic sampling assures that the sample chosen correctly represents the population and that the survey may produce statistically significant findings - Basic random sampling Using a computer or random number tables, select a sample at random from the sampling frame - Random stratified sampling A random sampling technique in which the target population is split into two or more relevant and important strata depending on one or more attributes - Using cluster sampling The target population must be separated into distinct groups prior to sampling, which appears to be comparable to stratified random sampling - Stochastic random sampling At regular intervals, a sample from the sampling frame is chosen (Book: Problems and Perspectives in Management, Volume 14, Issue 1, 2016 ) ● Non-Probability Sampling methods is the selection of a sample based on the characteristics of the population and the survey's needs With this method, some members of the population have a larger probability of being chosen as a sample, while others have a lesser chance For example, if we conduct interviews with housewives who come to a supermarket at a specific time, there will be a large number of women who will not be able to be picked because they not come to shop at that time Due to the fact that the selection of a non-random sample is entirely dependent on the researcher's experience and understanding of the population, survey findings are frequently subjective by the researcher (Copyright © 2020 Statswork) • Quota sampling It is entirely non-random and is typically used as part of a survey approach for structured interviews Quota sampling is a type of stratified sample in which cases are picked at random within strata • Snowball sampling The first of two methodologies we will examine is snowball sampling, in which people volunteer to participate in the research rather than being chosen It is commonly used when identifying members of the desired group is difficult • Convenience sampling This occurs when sample cases are picked without respect for any clear organizational principles related to your study topic (selecting instances just because they are readily available) • Judgment sampling When working with tiny samples, such as in case study research, and wanting to select examples that are extremely illuminating, judgment sampling is used ● The technique of sampling Data sampling is a crucial approach in statistics, and it plays a significant role in establishing the correctness of a research/survey Any inaccuracy in the sample procedure will have a direct impact on the final outcome There are several strategies that may be used to collect samples based on our demands and circumstances This post will go through some of the more frequent methods (Copyright © 2016-2022 Pham Duy Tung) Table 1: Simple random sampling and Systematic random sampling Simple random sampling Systematic random sampling Each case in your sample frame should be given a different number The first incident is labeled 0, the second as 1, and so on Each case in your sample frame should be given a different number The first incident is labeled 0, the second as 1, and so on Select examples at random until you have the required sample size Calculate the sampling fraction by dividing the actual sample size by the total population The first number is picked at random, and the tenth example is chosen at random as well If the random number is 2, we pick numbers such as 12, 22, 32, 42, and so on Table 2: Stratified random sampling and Cluster sampling Stratified random sampling Cluster sampling Choose the variable or variables to be stratified For your sample frame, select a cluster grouping Choose the variable or variables to be stratified Divide the sample frame into distinct strata Each cluster should be given a distinct number The first cluster contains the number zero, the second has the number one, and so on A unit number is issued to each case Select your sample of clusters using any type of within each stratum random sampling (typically simple random sampling) Select between basic random sampling or systematic random sampling Table 3: Quota sampling and Snowball sampling Quota sampling Snowball sampling Distinguish the population into various groupings Make touch with one or two of the population's instances Calculate a quota for each category based on relevant and available data Request that these examples be used to identify further cases Assign a job to each interviewer that defines the number of instances in each quota from which they must collect data Request that these new cases be used to identify other new instances (and so on) To build the whole sample, combine the data acquired by the interviewer When there are no more instances or the sample is as large as it can be, stop VI The elements to consider while creating a project management strategy (PMP) (P2) Create a project management plan (PMP) that includes the goal, goals, deliverables, quality, risk, communication resources, and research methodologies (P4) What exactly is project management? The use of strategies, methods, skills, knowledge, and experience to achieve specific project objectives within agreed-upon limits is known as project management What is the significance of project management? Effective project management may benefit individuals, groups, and public and private organizations in the following ways: • Meet company objectives; • Meet stakeholder expectations; • Be more consistent; • Increase your chances of success; • Provide acceptable items; and • Resolve challenges How does project management work? • Project management roles • Project management abilities • Organizational structure type Project management plans (PMP) - A project management plan is a document that outlines how a project will be executed, monitored, and managed It includes and consolidates all of the planning processes' subsidiary plans and baselines (All Parts of the Book: Certified Associate in Project Management (PMI-100)) • Project Scope: everything about a project, including work content and expected objectives — what we need to supply The project scope specifies the project in terms of what will be produced (the deliverables) as well as all of the effort required to achieve the project deliverables +) Project deliverables (all tangible and intangible outcomes provided within the scope of a project.) +) Project management (all the work required in order to produce the project deliverables.) - Work Breakdown Structure • Project Planning - Project Time Management - Create a cost-cutting strategy Methods of estimating costs: • Previous project experience, as well as historical data • How and how much the planned idea differs from past projects (size, complication ) - Create a quality management strategy The Quality Plan details the procedures and activities required to guarantee that the deliverables generated during the project fulfill the needs of the stakeholders and the project objectives • A quality plan must also guarantee that the project itself runs efficiently - Plan resource management Resources are defined as "skilled people resources (particular disciplines either individually or in crews or teams), equipment, services, supplies, commodities, material, budgets, or cash" needed to execute the job • Each activity on the activity list must have resources assigned to it - Create a communication management plan The communications planning process entails determining the sorts of information to be sent, who will receive it, the format in which it will be communicated, and the time of its release and dissemination - Create a risk-management strategy Factors of project management plans (PMP) Agree on the project goals Ascertain that the project's purpose and goals are agreed upon by management, project sponsors, and other stakeholders What problem will the project attempt to solve? What is the desired result? What is the desired goal of the project? Goals should be specific and measurable The defining of the project's scope will be aided by clear, quantifiable objectives Create well-defined plans with clearly defined duties and accountability Making a plan includes more than just putting tasks into a software program All deliverables, as well as the actions necessary to create them and any risks associated with them, must be specified Responsibilities for tasks and deliverables should be assigned, together with appropriate due dates and accountability Risk management actions and communication requirements should be addressed in the planning phase as well Making a project Include this communication strategy in the project plan, and then communicate, communicate, communicate! Many projects fail due to a lack of communication Make sure you have management support This is related to establishing defined project goals Management must agree that the project is vital, that it will bring value to the firm, or that it will solve a critical problem Management will be hesitant to support the initiative if they not recognize its worth People and money resources may not be accessible for the project if managerial support is lacking If a company has a large number of projects, management assistance may be limited to those those that are critical to the organization's success A major cause of project failure is a lack of managerial support (© 2019 NC State Industry Expansion Solutions.) Project management tools Project management tools are many types of software and applications that are used to help with project management Aim, objectives, goals • Essential that project teams have clear aims and goals “The term aim is used here as meaning what you intend to do, a goal is the desired outcome, Objectives focus on achieving the aims –means to an end.” Field and Keller (2007) Aims Aims are broad statements that offer direction and/or indicate a desire to perform Aims define objectives, although they are not immediately measurable 'Maria's goal is to lose weight,' for example Aims in education describe what a student might learn or what a teacher might perform.Aims are broad statements that offer direction and/or indicate a desire to perform Aims define objectives, although they are not immediately measurable 'Maria's goal is to lose weight,' for example Aims in education describe what a student might learn or what a teacher might perform.(Rowntree.D, 1994) Goals Aims are broad statements that provide guidance and/or demonstrate a desire to perform Although they are not immediately measurable, goals establish objectives For example, 'Maria's objective is to reduce weight.' In education, goals outline what a student might learn or what a teacher might do.(Phillip A Towndrow, 2012) Objectives Objectives are statements that describe what is to be accomplished in clear terms These can be SMART goals, which stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timed goals 'Read all 500 pages of the course textbook before the end of the semester,' for example Objectives in education are clear assertions about what a student will be able to achieve (or better) as a result of achieving a certain goal.(Rowntree, 1994, p 50) Cost Scope Quality Risk 10 Resources \ 11 Time 12 Communication 13 deliverables (© Barron & Barron Project Management for Scientists and Engineers.) V Produce a work breakdown structure and a schedule to provide timeframes and stages for completion (P5) The WBS WBS is an abbreviation for work breakdown structure The term work breakdown structure (WBS) refers to the separation and fragmentation of work objects The goal is to make deployment and control easier and more convenient The minor things must be within the scope of the major job, solving the big work's aims The work breakdown structure (WBS) is or should be a consistent, consistent, and logical technique of breaking down the project into tiny, manageable components in order to manage project scope as well as for planning, estimating, and monitoring (Rad and Anantatmula, 2009) WBS serves six key purposes: Reiterates project objectives The organizational structure of the project Creates justifications for tracking spending, deadlines, and performance requirements Promotes better project communication by disseminating project status Demonstrates command The goal of designing a work breakdown structure is to make the work content visible Set goals that are aligned with the project's purpose and identify the tasks required to attain the goal We will explain the relevant activities and tasks by constructing a work breakdown structure (WBS) All following planning and control actions are based on work packages - The work package is the lowest level in W B S •The work package includes a deliverable outcome •There is only one owner of the work bundle •The work package may be viewed as a project in and of itself by the owner •A work package may include a number of milestones •The work package should be compatible with the organization's processes and culture •A work package's appropriate size can be described in terms of labor hours, calendar time, cost, reporting period, and hazards Gantt Charts A Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart that represents each work activity on a separate line and places the bar on a timeline from the early start date to the early finish date for each activity A Gantt chart is a form of diagram that is used to show the progression of tasks and events across time The graphic will be divided into two sections: the vertical axis will show the names of the jobs, and the horizontal axis will show the timeframes for those jobs (John M Kennedy T) A Gantt chart is used to plan a project, strategy, or campaign This is to assist managers in tracking and monitoring the work activities that must be completed in that project or campaign This chart enables managers to more effectively communicate with staff about the project's plan and progress • Create a time-phased network • It has the potential to be utilized as a tracking tool The Advantages of Gantt Charts Simple to understand Recognize the scheduling baseline network Allow for control and updating Determine resource requirements Simple to make Milestone A milestone is a defined moment in a project's life cycle that is used to track progress and determine when the project will be finished - is a point of reference that often denotes crucial decision moments -It does not relate to a specific time period, but rather to a key occurrence in a project task or series of activities Refencee ject is executed, monitored and controlled, and closed?
