Discussion 10- Org Behavior

Assigned Readings: Chapter 10. Understanding Work Teams Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

  1. You are on a team which features individuals high in openness and emotional stability. What is the likely result of task conflict within your team? Why is this?
[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!]  [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review]

Explain in your own words why you believe planning is important. Select one of the following businesses: a large bank, a government agency, or a hospital, and explain which systems you feel are mission critical. Then explain how the loss of these systems would affect the organization.

A Discussion Board rubric clearly communicates expectations for participation, please see the NEC Grading Matrix for Discussion Board Postings as an example.

This assignment consists of two parts, with the first part concentrating on identifying risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies. Creation of this initial document is a core responsibility of the project manager role. The second part of this assignment is the creation the critical document known as the resource plan. With the knowledge gained from the creation of these two documents, projects are better prepared to course correct when changes occur.

Create a RAID log with clear explanations as to why the individual items are identified and included. Use the project proposal outline created in the previous assignment to identify potential risks that could occur in the process of executing and implementing the project. Log all assumptions made during the project proposal outline creation for the outline to be feasible. Log all issues that will need to be addressed before the project kickoff. Document all dependencies that impact the project completion. For all dependencies in the RAID log, identify relationships between logged items (i.e., successor and predecessor), as well as if these dependencies are internal to the project and the team or external.

Next, create a resource plan that aligns with the skills needed to complete the scope of the project, while also addressing the risks defined in Part 1. Describe the necessary skills needed to complete your proposed solution consider diversity, effectiveness, and responsiveness to organizational needs (e.g., contractor or full-time employees). Additionally, identify ways to mitigate risks through appropriate resource planning.

Assignment 3

 Chapter 5: Questions for Discussion #1 through #4

  • What is an artificial neural network and for what types of problems can it be used?
  • Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial ones? What aspects are similar?
  • What are the most common ANN architectures? For what types of problems can they be used?
  • ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised mode and in an unsupervised mode

Chapter 5: Exercise 6 and Internet Exercise 7

  • Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Conduct a search to find two papers written in the last five years that compare and contrast multiple machine-learning methods for a given problem domain. Observe commonalities and differences among their findings and prepare a report to summarize your understanding.
  • Go to neuroshell.com. Look at Gee Whiz examples. Comment on the feasibility of achieving the results claimed by the developers of this neural network model.

Chapter 6: Questions for Discussion #1 through #5

  • What is deep learning? What can deep learning do that traditional machine-learning methods cannot?
  • List and briefly explain different learning paradigms/methods in AI.
  • What is representation learning, and how does it relate to machine learning and deep learning?
  • List and briefly describe the most commonly used ANN activation functions.
  • What is MLP, and how does it work? Explain the function of summation and activation weights in MLP-type ANN.

Chapter 6: Exercise 4

  • Cognitive computing has become a popular term to define and characterize the extent of the ability of machines/computers to show “intelligent” behavior. Thanks to IBM Watson and its success on Jeopardy!, cognitive computing and cognitive analytics are now part of many real-world intelligent systems. In this exercise, identify at least three application cases where cognitive computing was used to solve complex real-world problems. Summarize your findings in a professionally organized report.

Important Note:  In cases if any websites or links do not work, select another respective exercise of choice to replace. ????When submitting work, be sure to include an APA cover page and include at least two APA formatted references (and APA in-text citations) to support the work this week.  Below is the general assessment rubric for this assignment and remember that late penalties are built within the overall assessment so complete this assignment by the Sunday due date of week 2.Important Note:  When I see similarity indexes over 20%, I will review the similarity report to determine if points are going to be docked for plagiarism issues and as a tip, do not include or write the actual questions or exercise directions within these papers.  In other words, all work must be original and not copied from any source and very high similarity indexes will be reported to the University. 

Cloud Computing

 We have a cloud computing course project. I uploaded the file with requirements. We need 1 PowerPoint presentation and 2 page description. But the thing is we need to present the instance; how its running, how the system works etc. I also stated a link from the last semester’s presentation. I do not know but we need to meet with the person who does this project so we can present it by ourselves at the day of the presentation. 

Software Engineering

Week 6 Assignment – Software Engineering, CMMI, and ITIL
Overview
Realizing that an organization’s CMMI level affects an organization’s success on requests for proposals (RFPs), your CIO wants to get the software development processes to CMMI level 3. Your organization has started developing software applications and database systems for their customers. The CIO wants to ensure that the software development and database development processes are being properly managed and audited, and he wants to ensure that the organization begins taking the necessary steps to progress to CMMI level 3. In preparation for your response, review the CMMI information.
Instructions
IT managers will commonly manage software development and systems integration activities. Write a 3–5 page paper in which you:

  1. Describe the software engineering process, the challenges in managing software development activities, and the potential interface issues from the software development perspective.
  2. Analyze the CMMI levels and define a road map that the organization will need to follow to get their software development processes to CMMI level 3. Note: This is important because the CMMI level that an organization achieves impacts their software development reputation.
  3. Explain the auditing tasks that must be performed in order to achieve level 3.
  4. Determine the continuous assurance auditing activities that the organization will need to implement to help achieve CMMI level 3.
  5. Analyze the ITIL service management guidelines and principles.
  6. Examine how ITIL service management practices relate to CMMI levels and continuous service auditing.
  7. Use at least three quality resources. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
  8. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
    The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
  • Propose improvements to the software development process based on CMMI and ITIL.
