Blockchain Implementation Project Plan

Every project that has a reasonable chance at success starts with a solid plan. A project plan is far more than just a schedule – it is a master plan that directs all planning and execution efforts to meet a project’s goals. For this class project, you will create a project plan to implement a newly developed blockchain application.

The first step in this assignment is to describe your organization’s environment and blockchain application. You can choose a consumer-based or enterprise application environment. Each one has its own environmental concerns. Once you describe your organization and blockchain application environment, you will provide the abbreviated project plan. (A real project plan will include detailed schedule, budget, procurement, and other supporting plans. This project won’t require all components of a real-life project plan.)

You abbreviated project plan (with organizational and blockchain environment introduction) must be no less than 1500 words. Your paper must be in proper APA format, including proper in-text citations and end references for any external sources you use. No more than 10% of this paper may originate from external sources. This isn’t a research paper – it is a project plan.

Your paper must start with the following sections (which should comprise at least 1/3 of your paper):

•Organizational overview – Introduce your organization (it can be fictitious). Describe what your organization does, how it defines success, what services or products it produces, and why it decided to venture into blockchain technology. Then describe the specific goals blockchain technology must meet to be deemed a success.

•Blockchain environment overview – Describe the type of blockchain your organization has decided to implement and why. Explain how your chosen blockchain implementation is the best choice for your organization’s goals and capabilities, and how your organization participates in your chosen blockchain network’s governance.

Here are the sections your project plan must include:

•Project overview – Within the context of an organization and blockchain environment (described in the first 2 sections of your paper), provide an overview of this project. What application are you implementing? (Describe a novel blockchain application that derives value from blockchain technology. Explain why blockchain technology is required for your application to operate.) This section should include a description of what application you are implementing, and how you define success for your project.

•Project charter – The high-level initial project document necessary to gain approval and funding (includes the following)

oReasons for engaging in this project (Why do you want to implement this application?)

oProject objectives

oProject constraints

oProject stakeholders

oProject scope

oProject risks (Include scalability, compliance, and security)

oProject benefits

oProject cost (Provide reasonable estimates of personnel and infrastructure cost to accomplish what you’re proposing.)

•Deliverables – a list (with descriptions) of artifacts to be delivered to the customer (defined in stakeholders above) at the end of the project

•Critical success factors – What criteria will customers use to determine whether the deliverables are acceptable?

•Work Breakdown Structure – What steps are necessary to take your application from a development environment to a deployed and operating environment? This section demonstrates an understanding of the implementation process. Provide a description, along with details, of tasks necessary to deploy a blockchain application and make it available for end users. You don’t need to provide specific commands or details but describe the process in enough detail that your technical staff could create procedures from your plan.

•Quality plan – Describe how you plan to measure and enforce quality standards at each step. Describe your chosen quality metrics and how you will ensure your desired quality standards will be maintained.

•Operationalization plan – Once you have successfully deployed your application conducted a formal hand-off to customers, describe how you will hand-off the maintenance of your application to operations. Describe the process of handing off the application and what operations needs to take delivery of your application responsibilities.

Don’t let this plan become a collection of lists. The purpose of this assignment is for you to consider the level of effort required to implement any blockchain application. We aren’t covering the initial blockchain network implementation – just an application’s implementation. Be creative when you choose an application. Really think through how to describe your blockchain application in such a way that you can use your description to get funding and support for your project.

Final Paper

Due May 10th at 11:59 p.m.

Write your final paper on one of the following prompts:

1) In Plato’s dialogue “Euthyphro,” Socrates asks Euthyphro what piety is. What is Euthyphro’s strongest response? Why does it fail to satisfy Socrates? Attempt to alter Euthyphro’s response or propose your own – can you give a definition of piety that satisfies Socrates’ requirements?

                Or

2) In “Phaedo,” Socrates does not seem to fear death- why is this the case? Why does Socrates claim that good Philosophers are more prepared for death? Do you think the pursuit of knowledge prepares one for death in the way he suggests? Is being prepared to die part of leading a worthwhile life?

                Or

3) In “Phaedo,” Socrates makes several arguments for the immortality of the soul. Pick one of these arguments and explain the argument and a strong objection to it. Is this argument convincing? Can it be defended against the objection? Why or why not?

                Or

4) You may also choose your own topic related to one of the Plato readings, provided that I approve of your chosen topic. Email me or see me during a writing workshop. 

You may use direct quotes from the text provided that they are short and cited. Please do not saturate your paper with quotations. If a quotation is more than 3 lines, summarize and cite. 

· Outside sources are allowed, provided they are cited. 

 

How it should be written:

· Make your stance/ argument clear in your introduction. This means your introduction should include a thesis statement. 

· This paper should be about 2-5 pages in double spaced 12pt Times New Roman font. Length is not as important as content.

· You must cite your source(s). Quotations should be short and cited. Again, please do not saturate your paper with quotations.

·  You may cite Chicago Style

 

Additional Info:

An “A” paper should fulfill the assignment requirements and be without any significant errors. Be as clear and concise as possible. Imagine your audience is a 10-year-old kid with a great vocabulary, explain any arguments and how they work fully in a way that would make sense to them.

Lower Grades will be earned if: the paper fails to fulfill the assignment, the paper is unclear or vague in places, the paper is saturated with quotations, the paper is formatted incorrectly, or if the paper contains significant (grammar/spelling) errors.

If the paper is late. Your grade will be lowered by one letter grade (or 10% of the highest possible score) for each day it is late. I stop counting off for lateness after 5 days.

Plagiarizing any part of the paper will earn the plagiarist an “F” on this assignment.

321

 read the case, “The Training and Development Dilemma at Whitney and Company,” which you can find on e-reserves. 

 answer the following questions. Questions: 

  1. Comment on Whitney and Company’s new employee orientation program. Considering the objectives of a typical new employee orientation program, and based on the information provided in the case, do you think it is an effective orientation program? Why or why not?
  2. What is one thing that Whitney and Company should do to evaluate the effectiveness of the orientation training program? Be sure to make direct reference to one (or more) of Kirkpatricks Levels of Training Evaluation and explain why you think that level of evaluation is appropriate.

week 4 project

Literature review

In consultation with your instructor, choose a specific business research topic and complete a full literature review on the topic. The topic for this assignment should be different than your topic in the W3 project.

In your review:

  • Synthesize relevant and relatively current (last 10 years) literature in a focused field or topic. Although the review should focus on recent literature, include any historical development that clarifies the topic. Grading assessment of this item will consider the thoroughness of the reviewed literature for covering your topic. For example, if you are doing a literature review on some area of transformational leadership but do not include works by James MacGregor Burns or Bernard Bass, then you have not appropriately reviewed the literature on the topic.
  • Assess the primary concepts, theories of interests, and methodologies within the literature on this topic. Grading assessment of this item will consider the depth of your review. For example, if you are doing a literature review on transformational leadership but do not note aspects such as inspirational motivation, idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, then you have not adequately reviewed the literature on the topic.
  • Appraise the current state of research (where are we now according to the literature) and the opportunities for new research that would further the field. Your appraisal might propose supported relationships between concepts or factors in the written research that have not yet been tested. Or, your appraisal might defend the existence of apparent gaps or contradictions in the existing research. Grading assessment of this item will consider the clarity of your arguments and strength of your documented support for the proposed relationship or apparent gaps and contradictions. For example, if you propose that no one has clarified whether transformational leadership is inherently ethical, then you need to make that connection (support) from each piece of literature that you review.
  • Propose the next step(s) to address identified problems or opportunities. Building from the currently un-researched relationships or gap you defended in the literature review of your topic, articulate a general framework for how you might address the gap or test the relationships. Include possible benefits to both the academic discipline and professional practice that your proposed research or next steps would provide. Grading assessment of this item will consider the persuasiveness of your proposed framework and benefits.

Submission Details:

  • Complete your response to this assignment in an 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style.
