Scope Management and Health Checks

Your brother in-law is about to submit a scope statement to the town council for the July 4th parade and picnic he has volunteered to project manage. Your town has about 6,000 households, and this is the first time the town council gave a tentative approval for the parade and picnic. The council president thinks that about $1,500 can be allocated for the event. Since your brother in-law knows you are taking a project management class, he has asked that you to look over his draft scope statement. He knows that the scope statement should be professional so that the town council will see him as responsible and allocate the money for the parade and picnic. Here is his scope statement.

Instructions

Select the company from the Fortune 500 –  https://fortune.com/fortune500/ 

Prepare a 10-page Research paper on one of the following topics:

• Changing Organizational Priorities that change scope of projects
• Change Management impact on Projects and/or Change management impact on operations management
• Lack of accountability on project requirements
• Unrealistic deadlines for project completion
• Relationship of project to strategy of the business

Guidelines:

• Relate your paper to a specific project or initiative (this can be a past or future project at your organization, a past project from another company or a future project you wish to undertake). In review of all of the aspects of Project Management what one area do you believe will be your biggest challenge? Explain for the project chosen, explain, analyze, synthesize, and summarize the impact that the application of operations management will have. Provide examples of specific projects or operations failures for the chosen company, and relate how this conforms or deviates from effective project management standards/theory.
• Research Paper will be in APA format
• Research papers will be 10- pages in content length (not including cover and reference page)
• Research paper will have a minimum of 10 quality peer-reviewed references in APA format including intext citations.

FYI, it doesn’t have to be *just* a Fortune 500 company, it can be a previous employer or even a current one as well, whether they are a Fortune 500 or not. You can analyze and discuss a project or standard operating procedures that you witnessed or went through there, discuss the specs, challenges, risks, failures, aspects that went well, etc. If you’d like you can do some comparing to your current/proposed project you’ve been working throughout the term as well…but I’m most interested in seeing you analyze and breakdown a project of some sort. Be sure to tie the discussion back to content, concepts, and theoretical frameworks that we have discussed throughout the term.

Now, you can also analyze a company that you’ve never worked with. A great place to look for an example is in our current textbook. Beginning in Part Six (page 433), it is all case studies. This would be a great place to find an organization, get the details on a project/operational dilemma, and be in a position to analyze the material in more detail. Of course, you can use some additional research, like looking at the organization’s website and other Internet searches for background info on the company as a whole…but those case studies will provide a great deal of info for you in regard to the content we’re discussing.

• Issue– The question is, are two twin sisters with myopia, classified disable under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) to rule out whether United Airlines, Inc. discriminated against them, or not 
• Rule– Statutory Law. Complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) seeks to find just cause that discrimination was present due to the inability to meet a requirement for a position  
• Analysis– The two sisters failed to provide sound evidence that their complaint holds enough merit as being discriminated against; EEOC cannot identify their impairment as being defined by the ADA for legal action 
• Conclusion– The two plaintiffs are found to be incapable of meeting the requirements for the intended position, yet, qualifications and requirements are met for other positions within the same company 

            Despite the type of employment, one acquires, the matter of discrimination within the workplace is never an easy discussion topic to have. It is, however, brought up some way or the other. After viewing the different cases for this week’s discussion questions, legal actions taken have provided greater insight on how the judiciary system handles its cases.

Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc.

      This case at first appears to be of a sensitive matter for the petitioners. Two sisters, whom of which feels as if they’ve been discriminated against by, United Air Lines, due their eye impairment. However, the courts have found that the issue in question doesn’t constitute validity under any act, nor statute and they failed to prove otherwise. This is so due to the definition—outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). 

They weren’t discriminated against by the airline. They just didn’t meet the requirements needed to execute all responsibilities and duties expected for the position in which they applied for but, were, if desired; met requirements for others. No controls set forth by the airline was stated and the decision-making was aligned with the ADA’s guidelines. By implementing current software tools that in which flags potential candidates that may have special inabilities to perform specific job functions can assist HRM professionals prior to interviewing. This will help avoid potential discrimination cases and help place the right person in the right position on a broader scale. 

When a potential candidate undergoes an assessment to see if they meet the minimum qualifications required for their position in the categories of experience, skills, and knowledge, the same rules must apply for physical and mental capacity, as well.
