Project Execution

DUE DATE: 26 Jan 2018; DUE TIME: 15:00Hrs;

TOTAL Budget: $15.00

Locking Scope

In this Assignment, you will be taking the fully decomposed WBS found in your predecessor’s “Gauchito Project Workbook.xls,” (attached) and familiarizing yourself with the full scope of the project, titling the project to distinguish your project from other projects in the portfolio, and indenting and renumbering the WBS numbers to reflect the priority of the project. You may use Excel and/or Project to accomplish this Assignment. Review the Assignment instructions (included)and grading Rubric (attached). Because you are the new PM for the Gauchito project, and the company is using the Gauchito EVM Tool your predecessor set up for this project, you will need to familiarize yourself with the tool immediately. You were a team member during the planning stage of the Gauchito rocket project. The PM is now gone and the sponsor has made you the PM. The sponsor wants you to take the old PM’s decomposed WBS, validate it, and align it with the other projects in the rocket assembly portfolio. The Gauchito project is priority 5 out of 10 rocket assembly projects in the organization’s portfolio of rocket projects for the scaled composites customer.
Here is what you will need to do:
Set up and familiarize yourself with the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs (Gauchito Rocket.ppt and Gauchito Rocket Project Workbook in Course Resources) following the Gauchito rocket assembly project. If you need some refreshing with some of the Excel functions, go the Atomic Learning modules and become very familiar with this tool. Failure to do so may adversely affect your ability to properly conduct the qualitative and quantitative analysis required for successful completion of an industry standard EVM application. Following the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs (Gauchito Rocket.ppt and Gauchito Rocket Product Description in Course Resources), build a fully decomposed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in Excel to ensure there are no multiple activities and that the WBS numbering and indentation reflect the Gauchito Rocket Project Title as “5.0”. If you have Project or another COTS application such as Planview®, Genius Project®, PrimaveraWorks®, etc. and you know how to use it to build out the WBS, you may do so, but all submissions must be in Excel or Project files.
WARNING: Do not copy the WBS directly from the project plan without auditing it carefully with the engineering specifications (Estes Instructions). It has omissions and mistakes that will degrade your performance if blindly copied. Be sure that information is correctly transferred to your Excel Gauchito EVM tool. Your WBS tasks in your WBS tab should match your tasks in your Gantt tab and Calculations tab. You will need an evening for data collection, an evening for compiling the data, and an evening to write up your findings. For your project tools, use the examples and tools available in Course Resources or the Internet that meets all the criteria of the grading rubric and complete the requirement, using your assigned project scenario found in the Course Resources section of the classroom and in your Tyler text.

DUE DATE: 19 & 21 Jan 2018; DUE TIME: 15 & 20:00Hrs; TOTAL Budget: $20.00

This assignment is in 2 parts.

Part 1:

Topic 1

DUE DATE: 19 Jan 2018 DUE TIME: 15:00Hrs GMT

Draw from your personal and professional experiences to address the topic below for the Discussion. Remember that this is a Discussion, so keep your responses succinct and to the point. Respond to at least three of your classmates. Be sure to write your initial post according to APA format using citations/examples to substantiate your position and give credit to your references at the bottom of your post. Be sure to synthesize your analysis of the reading as a conclusion and then evaluate your synthesis.

Discussion: Theory/Trends

After a historic presidential election in the United States, officials and citizens are focused on the transition program and the initial priorities of the new administration. In the context of a worldwide economic crisis, the pressing questions on people’s minds are:

What new programs and projects will be initiated? What will be cut? How will the administration prioritize the campaign promises made to different stakeholders?

It will be imperative to cultivate and promote a portfolio mindset and apply the principles of portfolio management at every level to address these crucial questions. Whether in government, your organization or department, or at a personal level, a portfolio mindset can provide strategic focus. It can ensure that you are working on the right projects with the right priorities, and are not being bogged-down, or stuck, on low-value initiatives.

According to the Standard for Portfolio Management, a portfolio is a collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together to facilitate the effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives. Portfolio management focuses on the processes to identify, select, prioritize, govern, measure, and report on the projects and programs to achieve a specific business objective.

In your estimation, a portfolio mindset requires that, at any point in time, managers:

· Inventory and become familiar with all of the projects and programs in the portfolio

· Focus on the big picture with clarity of purpose and based on strategic objectives

· Continuously assess and balance priorities based on the four Rs — reward (benefit), risk, resources, and relationship (the impact of doing a project on other projects that are existing or planned) (Duggal, 2008, p. 41).

Choose the position that you feel is most relevant to the preceding comments regarding having a portfolio mindset and substantiate your premise with referenced citation.

DUE DATE: 21 Jan 2018 DUE TIME: 18:00Hrs GMT

Locking Scope

In this Assignment, you will be taking the fully decomposed WBS found in your predecessor’s “Gauchito Project Workbook.xls,” located in Course Resources and familiarizing yourself with the full scope of the project, titling the project to distinguish your project from other projects in the portfolio, and indenting and renumbering the WBS numbers to reflect the priority of the project. You may use Excel and/or Project to accomplish this Assignment.

Review the Assignment instructions and grading Rubric.

(Attached)

Because you are the new PM for the Gauchito project, and the company is using the Gauchito EVM Tool your predecessor set up for this project, you will need to familiarize yourself with the tool immediately. You were a team member during the planning stage of the Gauchito rocket project. The PM is now gone and the sponsor has made you the PM. The sponsor wants you to take the old PM’s decomposed WBS, validate it, and align it with the other projects in the rocket assembly portfolio. The Gauchito project is priority 5 out of 10 rocket assembly projects in the organization’s portfolio of rocket projects for the scaled composites customer.

Here is what you will need to do:

Set up and familiarize yourself with the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs (Gauchito Rocket.ppt and Gauchito Rocket Project Workbook in Course Resources) following the Gauchito rocket assembly project. If you need some refreshing with some of the Excel functions, go the Atomic Learning modules and become very familiar with this tool. Failure to do so may adversely affect your ability to properly conduct the qualitative and quantitative analysis required for successful completion of an industry standard EVM application.

Following the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs (Gauchito Rocket.ppt and Gauchito Rocket Product Description in Course Resources), build a fully decomposed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in Excel to ensure there are no multiple activities and that the WBS numbering and indentation reflect the Gauchito Rocket Project Title as “5.0”. If you have Project or another COTS application such as Planview®, Genius Project®, PrimaveraWorks®, etc. and you know how to use it to build out the WBS, you may do so, but all submissions must be in Excel or Project files.

WARNING: Do not copy the WBS directly from the project plan without auditing it carefully with the engineering specifications (Estes Instructions). It has omissions and mistakes that will degrade your performance if blindly copied. Be sure that information is correctly transferred to your Excel Gauchito EVM tool. Your WBS tasks in your WBS tab should match your tasks in your Gantt tab and Calculations tab.

You will need an evening for data collection, an evening for compiling the data, and an evening to write up your findings. For your project tools, use the examples and tools available in Course Resources or the Internet that meets all the criteria of the grading rubric and complete the requirement, using your assigned project scenario found in the Course Resources section of the classroom and in your Tyler text.

Unit 1 Assignment: Locking Scope

Because you are the new PM for the Gauchito project, and the company is using the Gauchito
EVM Tool your predecessor set up for this project, you will need to familiarize yourself with the
tool immediately. You were a team member during the planning stage of the Gauchito rocket
project. The PM is now gone and the sponsor has made you the PM. The sponsor wants you to
take the old PM’s decomposed W BS, validate it, and align it with the other projects in the rocket
assembly portfolio. The Gauchito project is priority 5 out of 10 rocket assembly projects in the

portfolio of rocket projects for the scaled composites customer.

Here is what you will need to do:

Set up and familiarize yourself with the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the
Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs (Gauchito
Rocket.ppt and Gauchito Rocket Project W orkboo k in Course Resources) following the Gauchito

W ARNING: Do not copy the W BS directly from the project plan without auditing it carefully with
the engineering specifications (Estes Instructions). It has omissions and mistakes that will
degrade your performance if blindly copied. Be sure that information is correctly transf erred to
your Excel Gauchito EVM tool. Your W BS tasks in your W BS tab should match your tasks in

PABLO DE LEON & ASSOCIATES GAUCHITO RESUPPLY VEHICLE

Pablo de Leon and Associates (Pablo de Leon y Asociados) is an Argentine-based team formed to design, build and operate a suborbital space transportation system.
Our team was created to compete for the Ansari X Prize and was accepted by the X Prize Foundation on February 10, 1997. Our team is formed by Argentine specialists in several fields, including propulsion, mechanical design, aerodynamics, thermal systems, cryogenics, computer science, etc.

Pablo de Leon, Team Leader, is an Argentine aerospace engineer with wide experience in space systems design, project management and development of space vehicles and components.

More than 42 scientists, engineers, technicians and volunteers have worked on this program for years in order to one day achieve the first suborbital manned flight in Latin America. Our team, conscientious of the past, believes it is necessary to learn from those who preceded us, and reach a level of technological development comparable with the times.
If Argentina wants to be once more an industrialized nation, we need to invest heavily in science and technology.
That is why we are working in this project, because we believe it is valuable and it will help to inspire a new generation of young Argentines and Latin Americans.

The VESA “Gauchito” is a conventional style rocket launch vehicle, using 4 hybrid rocket engines in cluster configuration. The length of the “Gauchito” is 12 meters without the escape tower, with a diameter of 2.20 meters in the main body, and 6.60 meters including the aerodynamic fins. The weight of the rocket is 8,000 kilograms while the empty weight is 2,400 kilograms.
The capsule can accommodate 1 crewmember with a maximum weight of 300 kilograms of cargo. The capsule maintains a controlled atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen and the crew will use full pressure suits with 100%.oxygen

The propulsion system of the “Gauchito” was designed by Prof. Jorge Lassig. Its combines safety, economy, and reusability. The propellant grain, shaped as a cylinder and using several channels with geometrical shapes is placed in the combustion chamber. The “Gauchito” uses 4 hybrid rocket engines which burns Polyester Resin as propellant, and liquid oxygen (LOX) as oxidizer for 60 seconds. The throttle can be regulated and the engines are re-startable. The propulsion system has redundant safety devices and can be stopped in case of malfunction. The total thrust is 250,000 newtons (52,910 lb).
Each engine uses 380 kilograms of polyester resin and 1,080 kilograms of LOX. This requires a volume of 4 m3 for the 4 rocket engines. The LOX is feed by high pressure nitrogen coming from an additional tank located at the top of the rocket body. The total length of the rocket body is almost 8 meters, with a 2 meters diameter. The pressurized nitrogen tank is ½ meter diameter and the spherical LOX tank is 2 meters diameter. The longitude of each motor tube is 3,3 meters with a diameter of .60 meter.

Jeff Tyler: The NAP box in Perryman needs to have an OS upgrade to VOS 12.4. This is necessary for Y2K compliance, and to stay current with the kit revision level (build 08). We have been requested to fund Sheldons trip to Perryman for this activity. The costs should not exceed $1200, and this should be billable to the Y2K funds.
The maintenance is necessary before May 29, and is requested for a Sunday afternoon due to the behavior patterns of the NAP.

As people learn about something, they

presume they actually know and
understand the subject and apply their
knowledge to new situations. In reading
Pell’s article, I was stuck by his
description of the ‘top thinkers in project
management today’ (Pells, 2010). The
arrogance apparent in his comments
about the characteristics of these ‘top
thinkers’ was apparent. It would seem
that determining the top thinkers in a
group to be akin to determining the most
beautiful person in a group. It is in the
eye of the beholder and as such, is an
opinion not based on any sort of analysis
of facts. It certainly seemed like Mr. Pell
was unhappy with his (and others) lack of
inclusion. Pells makes his point
regarding arrogance and brings up very
real issues with arrogance in project
management and organizations.

To paraphrase Pells, arrogance in a
project manager (or an organization) can
bring about such negative issues as:
undervaluing expertise and experience,
encouraging inappropriate shortcuts, and
thus increasing risks. When planning a
project, the organization and the project
manager need to be careful and plan and
monitor projects carefully and analytically
in order to avoid arrogance (Pells 2010).

The problem of project manager
arrogance is a very human one. As
people learn about something, they
presume they actually know and
understand the subject and apply their
knowledge to new situations, sometimes
well and sometimes poorly. In order to
minimize the poor application of that
knowledge, as pointed out by Krock
(2010), managers cannot be right every
time on every subject and they need to
recognize this and make decisions based
on sound, rational analysis and not rely

Here the writer introduces the reader to
the situation to set the stage for his
premise or thesis statement. Knowledge
of the reading is presented followed by
the writer’s comprehension of what the
reading is about.

Application of the understanding of the
material is shown to prepare for the
analysis and then the premise is broken
down into parts and reviewed.

Finally, the analysis is synthesized into a
drawn conclusion from the analysis. But
this is just an opinion unless it (the
conclusion) is tested. This is called
evaluation, using a different perspective
from that used in the analysis to validate
that the conclusion drawn by the writer
from the analysis is supported by a
different source reference or example.

on their ‘instinct’, or snap judgments
because those judgments can be based
on their own emotional response to the
subject at hand and not sound, rational
analysis.

What Is Circular Reasoning?

Logical fallacies are a type of error in reasoning, errors which may be recognized and
corrected by observant thinkers. There are a large number of informal fallacies that are
cataloged, and some have multiple names. The frequency of occurrence is one way to
rank the fallacies. The ten most-frequent fallacies probably cover the overwhelming
majority of illogical reasoning. With a Pareto effect, 20% of the major fallacies might
account for 80% of fallacious reasoning.

One of the more common fallacies is circular reasoning, a form of which was called
“begging the question” by Aristotle in his book that named the fallacies of classical logic.
The fallacy of circular reasoning occurs when the conclusion of an argument is
essentially the same as one of the premises in the argument. Circular reasoning is an
inference drawn from a premise that includes the conclusion, and used to prove the
conclusion. Definitions of words are circular reasoning, but they are not inference.
Inference is the deriving of a conclusion in logic by either induction or deduction.
Circular reasoning can be quite subtle, can be obfuscated when intentional, and thus can
be difficult to detect.

Circular reasoning as a fallacy refers to reasoning in vicious circles or vicious circular
reasoning, in contrast to reasoning in virtuous circles or virtuous circular reasoning.
Virtuous circular reasoning is sometimes used for pedagogical purposes, such as in math
to show that two different statements are equivalent expressions of the same thing. In a
logical argument, viciously circular reasoning occurs when one attempts to infer a
conclusion that is based upon a premise that ultimately contains the conclusion itself.

Why is vicious circular reasoning unacceptable and fatal? Genuine method proceeds from
the known to the unknown. Vicious circular reasoning proceeds from the known to the
equally known. Vicious circular reasoning, therefore, violates genuine method. Vicious
circular reasoning does not add anything new, it does not advance learning, and it does
not add to knowledge. Vicious circular reasoning goes nowhere and leads nowhere —
hence, its descriptive name “circular”. It literally moves in a circuit or a circle.

Most people do not study logical fallacies as part of their formal education. Those who
study them typically do so as part of a course in logic, maybe called critical thinking, in
the philosophy department. The rest of us have to learn about them on our own in order to
make and detect sound arguments. Note that the word argument applies to all reasoning
regardless of form, and thus it includes hypotheses, models, arguments and studies.

Here are the citations for a classical text and for a modern text about logic.

Introduction. Description of Fallacies.

In order to understand what a fallacy is, one must understand what an argument is. Very
briefly, an argument consists of one or more premises and one conclusion. A premise is a
statement (a sentence that is either true or false) that is offered in support of the claim
being made, which is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that is either true or false).

There are two main types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive argument
is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) complete support for
the conclusion. An inductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or
appear to provide) some degree of support (but less than complete support) for the
conclusion. If the premises actually provide the required degree of support for the
conclusion, then the argument is a good one. A good deductive argument is known as a
valid argument and is such that if all its premises are true, then its conclusion must be
true. If all the argument is valid and actually has all true premises, then it is known as a
sound argument. If it is invalid or has one or more false premises, it will be unsound. A

good inductive argument is known as a strong (or “cogent”) inductive argument. It is
such that if the premises are true, the conclusion is likely to be true.

A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which
is simply being wrong about the facts. To be more specific, a fallacy is an “argument” in
which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support.
A deductive fallacy is a deductive argument that is invalid (it is such that it could have all
true premises and still have a false conclusion). An inductive fallacy is less formal than a
deductive fallacy. They are simply “arguments” which appear to be inductive arguments,
but the premises do not provided enough support for the conclusion. In such cases, even
if the premises were true, the conclusion would not be more likely to be true.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/f/fallacies.htm
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (164 fallacies)

A fallacy is a kind of error in reasoning. The alphabetical list below contains 164 names
of the most common fallacies, and it provides explanations and examples of each of
them. Fallacies should not be persuasive, but they often are. Fallacies may be created
unintentionally, or they may be created intentionally in order to deceive other people. The
vast majority of the commonly identified fallacies involve arguments, although some
involve explanations, or definitions, or other products of reasoning. Sometimes the term
“fallacy” is used even more broadly to indicate any false belief or cause of a false belief.
The list below includes some fallacies of this sort, but most are fallacies that involve
kinds of errors made while arguing informally in natural language.

The discussion that precedes the list begins with an account of the ways in which the term
“fallacy” is vague. Attention then turns to the number of competing and overlapping
ways to classify fallacies of argumentation. For pedagogical purposes, researchers in the
field of fallacies disagree about the following topics: which name of a fallacy is more
helpful to students’ understanding; whether some fallacies should be de-emphasized in
favor of others; and which is the best taxonomy of the fallacies. Researchers in the field
are also deeply divided about how to define the term “fallacy,” how to define certain
fallacies, and whether any general theory of fallacies at all should be pursued if that
theory’s goal is to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for distinguishing between
fallacious and non-fallacious reasoning generally. Analogously, there is doubt in the field
of ethics regarding whether researchers should pursue the goal of providing necessary
and sufficient conditions for distinguishing moral actions from immoral ones.

Introduction

The first known systematic study of fallacies was due to Aristotle in his De Sophisticis
Elenchis (Sophistical Refutations), an appendix to the Topics. He listed thirteen types.
After the Dark Ages, fallacies were again studied systematically in Medieval Europe.
This is why so many fallacies have Latin names. The third major period of study of the
fallacies began in the later twentieth century due to renewed interest from the disciplines

of philosophy, logic, communication studies, rhetoric, psychology, and artificial
intelligence.

The term “fallacy” is not a precise term. One reason is that it is ambiguous. It can refer
either to (a) a kind of error in an argument, (b) a kind of error in reasoning (including
arguments, definitions, explanations, etc.), (c) a false belief, or (d) the cause of any of the
previous errors including what are normally referred to as “rhetorical techniques”.
Philosophers who are researchers in fallacy theory prefer to emphasize meaning (a), but
their lead is often not followed in textbooks and public discussion.

Informal Fallacies (71 fallacies in 11 categories)

You simply cannot properly begin to properly read the various texts without first being
grounded in the basics of clear thinking. By familiarizing yourself with these forms of
reasoning you may guard yourself from making the same sorts of errors (as well as to
catch errors in the thinking of others who purport to be speaking the truth). A brief
introduction of the subject included.

An informal fallacy is an attempt to persuade that obviously fails to demonstrate the truth
of its conclusion, deriving its only plausibility from a misuse of ordinary language. Most
scholars categorize informal fallacies as: (1) fallacies of relevance: appeal to ignorance,
appeal to authority, ad hominem arguments, appeals to emotion, force, etc., irrelevant
conclusions, and appeals to pity; (2) fallacies of presumption: accident, converse
accident, false cause, begging the question, and complex question; (3) fallacies of
ambiguity: equivocation, amphiboly, accent, composition, and division.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reasoning
Wikipedia: Circular reasoning

In logic, begging the question is the term for a type of fallacy occurring in deductive
reasoning in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in one
of the premises. For an example of this, consider the following argument: “Only an
untrustworthy person would run for office. The fact that politicians are untrustworthy is
proof of this.” Such an argument is fallacious, because it relies upon its own
proposition—in this case, “politicians are untrustworthy”—in order to support its central
premise. Essentially, the argument assumes that its central point is already proven, and
uses this in support of itself.

Begging the question is also known by its Latin name petitio principii and is related to
the fallacy known as circular argument, circulus in probando, vicious circle or circular
reasoning. As a concept in logic the first known definition in the West is by the Greek
philosopher Aristotle around 350 B.C., in his book Prior Analytics, where he classified it
as a material fallacy.

The term is usually not used to describe the broader fallacy that occurs when the evidence
given for a proposition is as much in need of proof as the proposition itself. The more
accepted classification for such arguments is as a fallacy of many questions.

See modern usage controversy, below, over a common usage of “begs the question” with
the meaning “raises the question”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Causal_fallacies

This category is for questionable cause fallacies, arguments where a cause is incorrectly
identified.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Informal_fallacies

This category is for arguments that are fallacious for reasons other than structural
(“formal”) flaws, such as due to ambiguity or a common error in their premises.
