As part of successfully completing this course, you should be able to master the eight course objectives: Demonstrate the need for project management metrics. Establish the importance of metrics in effective management of time, cost, and scope. Apply the knowledge of project metrics to identify the key characteristics of properly defined metrics. Characterize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as used in metric-driven project management. Apply value-based project management metrics as important in selecting the right metrics. Explore project performance dashboards including designs, use, and limitations. Explore the applications of visual project management tools, including project performance dashboards. Create proper performance indicators for application in measurement-driven project management. In this portfolio project, you are to show your mastery of the eight course objectives at a master’s level. You are to write a paper that covers each of the eight topics. Notice that each objective is written with a verb as the first word to show some action that students must achieve for success in this class. Verbs like “demonstrate,” “apply,” and “create” require that the student takes some action on a project to satisfy the requirement. You should find a project to use in this portfolio where you may take those actions and document them in your paper. You might apply earned value analysis on a project underway to satisfy course objective number 5, for example. Verbs like “establish,” “characterize,” and “explore” require that the student shows mastery of current thinking on the subject. This part of your paper may be taken from research, or interviews. You might explore an application of dashboards by interviewing a project manager and performing research on current thinking about dashboards, for example. Therefore, your paper should include sections to address the following: Identify and describe an actual project that was successful in part because it used project metrics, what those metrics were, and why they were a contributing factor to success. Research and report on current thinking in both research and practice about effective management of time, cost, and scope with metrics. Research and report on current thinking in both research and practice about the key characteristics of properly defined metrics, and identify and describe an actual project to compare its use of metrics to your research to determine if the metrics were properly defined. Research and report on current thinking in both research and practice about KPIs. Show your application of value-based project management metrics on a project with which you are familiar and interpret the results of your application. Research and report on performance dashboards including designs, use, and limitations, and visual project management tools, including project performance dashboards. Create proper performance indicators for application in measurement-driven project management on a project with which you are familiar. Since the key sections of your work correspond to individual module of the course, it is recommended that you progressively develop your project based on the weekly topics. Paper Requirements: Prepare a portfolio paper to address the eight-course objective. All eight course objectives must be addressed. The Course Objectives are: Demonstrate the need for project management metrics and benefits of metric-driven project management. Establish the importance of metrics in effective management of time, cost, and scope. Apply the knowledge of project metrics to identify the key characteristics of properly defined metrics. Characterize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as used in metric-driven project management. Apply value-based project management metrics as important in selecting the right metrics. Explore project performance dashboards including designs, use, and limitations. Explore the applications of visual project management tools, including project performance dashboards. Create proper performance indicators for application in measurement-driven project management.

Directions:Each theory you examine in this course has its own framework for addressing client needs and its own set of theory-based interventions. As with any purely theoretical basis, implementation in real life may require adjustments. Select one of the theories demonstrated in the media this week (either humanistic, experiential, or emotional focused therapy [EFT]), and consider the challenges you may face when integrating this theory with your own theoretical orientation. Then, think about how you might mitigate these challenges.Post a brief explanation of one challenge you may encounter if you attempted to integrate the theory you selected with your lens of couple counseling in your future professional practice. Then, explain how you might mitigate this challenge.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.Gurman, A. S., Lebow, J. L., Snyder, D. K. (2015).

Written Assignment: Application of Act Utilitarianism Drop Box Step 1: Read The Moral Compass, Chapters 6-7, focusing on the section covering Kantian ethics.  Then re-read the case study from The Moral Compass, Chapter 24, that you used in your previous papers for Modules 4 and 5: Case 5 - "The Island Escape" Case 10 - "Intensive Care" Case 11 - "Sex and Drugs" For this paper, consider the same case study you explored in Modules 4 and 5. Step 2: You will write a short, though well-written, college level paper including each of the elements below. PAPER FORMAT Use whatever writing format you are most comfortable with (APA, MLA, etc.).  Include your name, the professor's name, the course name, and the date. Give your paper a title (relating it to the assignment or the case you chose). Include a Work Cited Page and Word Count. Section 1: Introduction to Kantian Ethics Provide a brief introduction of Kantian Ethics. Include any relevant details including its history, main proponents, key concepts, etc. Section 2: Main Ethical Issue List the main ethical issue from the case study in the correct format (for review, see Module 2). If you have received any feedback on your previous paper(s), please consider that and make revisions as necessary. Should...................?  OR What should……………….?   Even if you identify several issues or concerns, identify and list only the one you think is the main ethical issue.   Section 3: Application of Kantian Ethics Apply the steps of Kantian Ethics to resolve the main ethical issue.  Be detailed. A sample format is provided in Module 6 for your assistance. Section 4: Conclusion Briefly describe the outcome of your application of Kantian Ethics.  Which option(s) might be considered as ethical if the subject were a Kantian thinker?
