  • Title: Stakeholder Lessons Learned: Analyzing Project Failures and Implementing Improvements for Future Projects

    For this assignment, you will focus on Stakeholder Lessons Learned.  Note that the Lessons Learned process is a signficant part of every project and should always be held, and the results documented.
    This assignment is a two-part submission to have you look at the Lessons Learned process, how important stakeholders are in this process, and to identify the value produced.  Please review the Week 5 slides about Lessons Learned.  We will review/discuss them further during our Week 5 meeting.  Note the use in the slides of the terms “Plus” (something we did well and want to continue) and “Delta” (something that didn’t go so well and we’d like to change/improve)
    Part 1:
    Review this article Download this articleand select one of the projects (not the DIA, which you’ve obviously already worked on) to be the focus for this assignment.  Note that the article identifies all of these projects as failures, so there should be a signficant amount of Lessons Learned that can be obtained from whichever project you select
    Analyze the case and any additional supporting documentation you can find. Based on your analysis, assume you’re running a Lessons Learned session at the end of the project, and provide the following:
    An Overview section regarding the case you’ve selected
    Identify at least two (2) stakeholder-related issues with this project that would be discussed during the lessons learned session. For each of the issues that you identify, answer the following:
    What was the primary issue with the Stakeholders that apparently caused this issue? Be specific when identifying the Stakeholder or the Stakeholder Group.
    Was there a specific conflict issue that caused it? How did this conflict negatively impact the project?
    What could have been done by the PM/sponsor to resolve this conflict?
    Specific to each issue, what is your recommendation for future projects, so this type of issue doesn’t occur going forward (a Delta)?
    We tend to focus on the negatives during lessons learned sessions. Based on your analysis of this project, what is one POSITIVE lesson learned (a Plus) from this project that you would recommend continuing to do going forward?
    Part 2:
    Specific to the DIA case that we’ve used in this course:
    Select one (1) Stakeholder GROUP (not an individual) that you identified as part of your identification and analysis processes and indicate why you’ve selected them:
    How will you implement lessons learned sessions for this group? For example, when will you hold the session(s)? How many sessions will you hold? Who will be invited?  What do you see as the primary areas to focus on? Do you anticipate any conflict as part of the session? Feel free to include anything else you expect to occur in the planning or execution of this Lessons Learned session.
    Since many of the DIA stakeholders will be included in future projects targeted at improvements, expansion, etc. at DIA, explain how you will use the outcomes from your Lessons Learned session to help improve future DIA projects using your selected Stakeholder group in particular.
    I would recommend the following format for this assignment:
    Part 1
    Project Overview
    Stakeholder Issues to be Discussed at Lessons Learned
    LL #1
    Primary Issue
    Conflict?
    Recommendation
    LL #2
    Primary Issue
    Conflict?
    Recommendation
    Positive (Plus) LL from this project
    Part 2 – Specific to the DIA case that was used throughout this course:
    Stakeholder GROUP you’ve selected and why
    How will you implement lessons learned sessions for this group?
    How will you use the Lessons Learned results for future projects?

  • Assignment 1: Ethical Issues in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study Assignment 2: The Importance of Informed Consent in Research Studies Assignment 3: Understanding Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Analysis in Oral Health Research

    Assignment 1: https://youtu.be/afwK2CVpc9E
    In this week’s module, we have learned about the appropriate ethical treatment of research study participants, as well as the appropriate consent and ethical committee review (Institutional Review Board) necessary to conduct a research study.
    The Tuskegee Syphilis study is historically one of the most unethical studies conducted by the United States Public Health Service. In the short video that you will watch, you will learn more about this study.
     
    Your assignment for this week is to:
    Watch the short attached video about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study
    Using 1 page or less, comment on the ethical issues with this study, using terminology from Chapters 17 and 18, such as coercion, and nonmaleficence. 
    Talk about the consent process here, what is missing?
    Please use at least 1 evidence-based citation.
    Assignment 2: Ensuring that participation in a research study is voluntary and that the study runs with ethical practices is of the utmost importance. Why is it important that research participants are consented to participate, and what is understood consent? Give an example of what could be considered coercion in a research study.
    Assignment 3: What is the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary analysis? In oral health provide examples of where primary, secondary, and tertiary analysis could be used.
    (assignemtns 2 and 3 are for a discussion board can be short and concise)

  • “Reflecting on my Learning Journey: Assimilating Knowledge from this Course”

    Now, reflect on the experience you have had in this course to see how you may want to assimilate what you have learned. Write a short reflection based on one or two significant learning experiences that you had during this course. Try to be as clear and accurate in your perceptions as you can.  
    Reflection Guidelines 
    Reflection is a valuable practice in your learning process. It assists in the assimilation of new understanding into your everyday life. 
    Reflection is often casually mentioned after a learning experience by asking “What lessons did you learn?” Although this question refers to the process and is a good place to start, it doesn’t address the full process of reflection.  
    Reflection Steps: 
    Recall 
    Think back on any experiences you may have had in this course during the learning process that seem to stand out.  
    Contemplate
    What is significant about these experiences? What broader perspectives might apply? What do you understand about them now based on a broader perspective?  
    Transformation 
    What does this mean for you in the future? Develop a plan for creating any changes that you would like to make. 
    An effective reflection will focus successively on each of these phases. It will hopefully result in a deeper understanding of knowledge that you have gained during your learning experiences and prompt changes in your practices, perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes.
