  • Integrating EVM in Agile and Hybrid Projects Integrating EVM in Agile and Hybrid Projects Introduction Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project management technique that is widely used in traditional Waterfall projects to track and monitor project

    Overview
    At this point, you have learned that earned value management (EVM) is best when all the project requirements are known and the planning is done, and it works well for a Waterfall approach. However, many organizations now use an Agile or Hybrid approach. In these approaches, planning is not done upfront for all requirements of the project, but there is a project scope, budget, and deadline for all projects. Therefore, EVM should be used. 
    Directions
    Utilizing the reading from the course text and two additional scholarly references, write a short paper on how you would apply EVM to Agile and Hybrid projects.
    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
    Describe why it is important to integrate EVM in Agile or Hybrid projects.
    Identify what elements of EVM are already present in Agile or Hybrid projects.
    Identify what key components are needed to utilize EVM in an Agile or Hybrid project.
    Explain what measurement method you would use for project status and where you would find this in Agile or Hybrid projects.
    What to Submit
    Submit your short paper using the QSO 420 Short Paper Template as a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

    Email me with any questions! Assignment Instructions: The topic of your Course Project will be any medical disease or condition of the body (e.g., arthritis is too broad; choose one specific type such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, etc.). Choose ONLY one medical disease or condition that interests you, as this will be the topic used for all Course Project steps and assessments throughout the term.
    Autism Spectrum Disorder – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
    My topic and resources:
    For my course project, I chose to focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The reason I am choosing this condition is due to its profound impact on many individuals and families, including a close friend of mine who has a child with autism. I have also worked as a Behavioral Therapist in ABA. I am deeply interested in understanding the complexities of ASD, including its diagnosis, management, and support strategies, to better appreciate the challenges faced by those affected and to contribute to raising awareness and support within the community.
    The article I have chosen as a source of information is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website titled “Autism Spectrum Disorder: Overview, Risk Factors, and Treatment.” The CDC offers a comprehensive overview of autism, including prevalence statistics, risk factors, early signs, and recommended treatments.
    The CDC website is an authoritative and credible source of academically and scientifically reliable information. As a leading national public health institute in the United States, the CDC plays a crucial role in gathering and disseminating accurate health information to the public.
    The articles on the CDC website are written and reviewed by subject matter experts, including medical doctors, clinical psychologists, and public health professionals. For instance, Dr. Stuart Shapira, a renowned expert in developmental disabilities, frequently contributes to the CDC’s autism-related content. Secondly, the CDC’s articles frequently reference peer-reviewed research studies, national health statistics, and clinical guidelines from reputable organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Each claim is supported by specific citations that link to scientific literature and data. Finally, the CDC is a respected government agency renowned for its role in public health research and information dissemination. It is known for maintaining high standards of transparency and accuracy in the information it provides.
    B. Based on the evidence provided, I believe this source is a credible source overall. All three pieces of evidence support the reliability and accuracy of the information. The fact that the CDC employs subject matter experts with advanced degrees in relevant fields ensures that the content is created and reviewed by individuals with a deep understanding of autism. This adds a high level of credibility to the information. Additionally, the use of peer-reviewed studies and reputable sources as references means the data has undergone thorough scientific scrutiny. The CDC’s dedication to transparency and frequent updates further enhances the trustworthiness of the information, demonstrating a commitment to providing the most current and accurate data available. Therefore, the CDC’s comprehensive approach to disseminating health information makes it a highly reliable and credible source for research on autism.

  • “Defining My Diverse Community Through Music: A Playlist and Reflection” Defining My Diverse Community Through Music: A Playlist and Reflection My community is a diverse and vibrant one, made up of individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and

    For this paper, begin by offering your definition of your community. Keep in mind that you get to decide how you define community. That is, community could describe your regional neighborhood, a cultural collective you belong to,  a group of friends you closely connected to, or an interest collective find community in. 
    Once you have defined your community, describe your community and present a playlist of at least 4 songs that represent your experiences in that community. The songs you select may help define the community, bring back memories for you in this community, or generally help represent what life is like in this community. 
    To be clear, this assignment asks you to do two different things:
    Define your community
    Offer a playlist of at least 4 songs that help represent your community
    If this helps to write or get ideas of topics that might be best to talk about, I am:

  • “Understanding ACES: The Impact on Childhood Trauma and How to Make a Positive Change”

    I have answered all the questions from this assignment.However I know I have run in sentences and a few other mistakes that may need to be taking out and re-worded. I just want to make writing I did better. I would like for you to read what I wrote and make changes to it as needed. ACES stands for “Adverse Childhood Experiences.” HERE ARE THE 3 questions I answer to:
    4) Reflect on three things you learned from each video, the article, and the ACES Infographic (this should be at least one paragraph each) 5) How did the information above impact you on both professional and personal levels? What is your “take-away”, or the thing that stood out the most to you about the ACES study? (this should be at least one paragraph)
    6) How do you plan to apply the information you learned from the ACES study and this Canvas Assignment? (this should be at least one paragraph)
    HERE ARE MY RESPONSES:
    Three things I have learned from the videos, the article, and the ACES Infographic are how childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime, the traumatic events that occur with children doing their childhood years, and their mental health. In one video Dr. Burke-Harris talked about childhood adversity which can show up in your mental health and physical health. The second video Dr. Burke-Harris talks about is threats that are pervasive to children like abuse or neglect, growing up with one or two parents that struggle with mental health or drug issues. In the article I learned that many of the doctor patients had chronic health problems that potentially could had effects on their health conditions such as heart diseases, chronic asthma, diabetes and much more which could have led from their childhood events in their life. Finally, there is the ACES infographic. I learned that ACES are traumatic events in childhood aging from 0-17 years old. Children will or have experienced neglect or witnessing violence. It can also negatively impact their mental, physical, behavior, and emotional development. Children can also suffer from toxic stress who have experienced adversity.
    The information about ACES has impacted me with the studying and learning of this assignment. I can relate to ACES because I was once a child who endured all the signs that effects children to this day. I went through a lot of childhood trauma that affected my adulthood. I can say this is a situation for children that does not need to be overlooked. And I am so glad to learn about ACES and the types of experiences that children endure. I can recall my childhood on every topic that I have learned about this. On a professional level I will be deeply knowledgeable about Adverse Childhood Experiences and be prepared to address them. With the negative experiences I had growing up in the DHR system, I will be ready to help children going through these tough situations.
    How I plan to apply what I learned from the ACES study is volunteer at local events here in my hometown and be an advocate for children, increasing my knowledge of the issues and what I have learned. Making a positive change and being alert for children who need caring love and support. I also plan to support parents as well as the children if they reside in the same household. Applying what I learned I can help children build social and coping skills and give one on one time. Children are our future and I want to help in any way I can.
