SCENARIO: You are a project manager who is taking over a struggling project. Two projects are at risk of being cancelled by their clients due to a variety of issues. Use the attached “Case Study 5” when monitoring and controlling a project.
NOTE: let me know if the requested pages are not enough to cover all items in this paper (A-E).
Complete the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template” by doing the following: See attached Example of M & C to give you an idea.
A. Document five new risks for case study 5 is currently facing by completing the table in the “Risk Assessment” section of the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template.” The risk assessment needs to include a risk description, the likelihood of the risk occurring, the impact of the risk, the person responsible for mitigating the risk, and a prevention and mitigation strategy for the risk.
- For the risk assessment, use the paragraphs from the team leads rather than the numbers to identify potential future problems.
- Risks are issues with an unknown element to them, which have not completely played out yet but have a reasonable indication that they may occur.
B. Create a Gantt chart showing the projected timeline and critical path for the case study in the “Gantt Chart” section of the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template.”
- Download, install and use ProjectLibre as your Gantt Chart software. Other project software you are familiar with may be used, but you should avoid Excel or other spreadsheet programs. It is important to use actual project software to ensure all the formatting and calculations are correct. Once you are comfortable with whatever project software, use the tasks, durations, and prerequisites found in the Work Breakdown Structure in the case study.
- Attention to detail is vital to ensure the project starts at the right time and that all tasks have the appropriate durations and start after their identified predecessors have completed. The schedule data from the Gantt chart will be used throughout the rest of the paper, so an error in the Gantt will cause issues later.
- The completed Gantt can be inserted as a screenshot in this file or attached as a separate PDF file. Include summary tasks for each team, and ensure the critical path is clear. This is a planning Gantt, not a tracking Gantt, meaning it will show the originally planned project schedule based on the provided WBS, not any actual performance data (percent complete, expenditures, etc.).
C. Provide a completed “Earned Value Analysis” section and a completed “Earned Value Projections” section for the case study 5 in the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template” by completing the tables in those sections and doing the following:
1. Analyze the current schedule and budget performance of each project workgroup.
- EVA is about doing the math to see how the teams are performing today. You will need the task dates from the Gantt chart in order to calculate how close the project is to the original schedule.
- Using formulas found in Chapter 7 of the PMBOK, calculate the following values (EV, AC, PV, CV, CPI, SV, SPI) for all five teams. This will measure their progress so far as outlined in the case study status reports. Use Excel to do the calculations, and then copy over the final numbers once you have them. There are some numbers you will need in your spreadsheet that do not make it into the final table to submit. Excel has a variety of features that will help you, including making sure you are using the same formulas for each team’s calculations, formatting the numbers consistently, avoiding rounding issues, etc.
2. Estimate the expected completion date and total cost of the project workgroups.
- EVP is about projecting where the various teams will end up when the project is over budget or behind schedule if we keep working at the same rate.
- Calculate the estimated future performance of each team using the formulas found in the Formula Table in Chapter 7 of the PMBOK.
- Continue working in the same spreadsheet as the Earned Value Analysis section above, using the current performance data to estimate future performance.
- Include a brief discussion right below the projections table explaining the process and formulas you used, especially for those calculations that may have multiple available calculation options.
3. Interpret the workgroup analysis and project schedule and cost estimates.
- Analyze the progress and performance of this project based on workgroup analysis, project schedule performance, cost estimates, and variation in planned completion date. Are they close to being on budget or on schedule? Which team is doing the best or worst?
D. Provide a completed “Burndown Chart” section for the chosen case study in the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template” by doing the following:
1. Create a burndown chart.
- Create a burndown chart using Excel, charting current project performance up through the date of the status reports.
2. Analyze the team’s overall progress in the “Discussion of Burndown Chart” section of the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template,” using the burndown chart from part D1.
- Discuss the chart projection shown for the project on the Burndown Chart, and include future thoughts on team performance, if continued at the pace currently followed. If there are differences or inconsistencies between the burndown chart and the schedule performance from the earned value analysis, discuss what might cause that and which you think is a better indicator of team performance.
E. Explain how three mitigation strategies could have a positive impact on the schedule and budget performance of the project team for the chosen case study in the “Mitigation Plan” section of the attached “Monitoring and Controlling Template.”
- As you interpret the results from the burndown chart and other metrics, brainstorm what underlying root issues may be causing those numbers and what you might do to address the actual problems and not just the symptoms.
- For items B-D2 shown above, discuss a Mitigation Plan to solve problems and move the project forward successfully. Use each team’s budget and schedule performance to brainstorm possible problems three of the teams may be facing – different combinations of budget and schedule performance will indicate different issues each team is facing. The charts and metrics calculations are symptoms. Look for underlying root issues to solve rather than throwing money at the symptoms. Consider the effects of your recommended mitigation strategies on the project’s triple constraints.
F. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

Instructions for Completing Your Assignment
- Step one: Using the topic list from module 2, identify a nursing clinical practice topic that you would like to explore. Impact of healthcare professionals’ education in preventing pressure ulcers
- Step two: Use the PICO(T) question in the final form approved by your instructor or coach. If your question was not approved in module 2, you may continue to dialogue with your coach or instructor up until Wednesday of week 4. If you still have not had a question approved by that time read the instructions for developing a PICO(T) question carefully and be sure to follow them. Coaches and instructors will not advise you regarding PICO(T) questions after Wednesday of week 4.
- Step three: Search for a nursing quantitative research article that relates to your PICO question using Academic Search Complete, CINHAL, Pubmed, Google Scholar, or any other database that contains nursing research articles. Please note: you can use the article that you submitted in Module Two to meet this requirement so long as it was approved.- The article you will find must meet the following mandatory requirements:- It must be based on the approved topic list unless other arrangements were made with your instructor or coach.
- It must be from a nursing research journal or have a nurse as an author.
- It must be no more than 5 years old from the current publication year.
- It must include implications and / or interventions that are applicable to nursing practice.
- It may not be a qualitative article, systematic review, meta-synthesis, meta-analysis, meta-summary, integrative review, retrospective study, evidence based practice project, or quality improvement article. For more information on how to recognize these types of article see Grove & Gray (2019) pp. 21-23.
- It may not be a clinical information article or “how-to” article.
- Step Four: Collecting More Evidence (Do the research)- Find a credible scholarly or government resource published within the past 5 years that provides you with at least two facts (ex. costs, morbidity, mortality, safety, or other related statistics) for why your clinical problem is important (provide statistics). (The internet is a great place to get this information…just don’t forget to cite this information and add it to your reference page).
- Find a clinical practice guideline that relates to your question. It must have information that relates to the role of the nurse. The guideline must be the most recent version or published within the past five years. (It is true that guidelines are not always updated within 5 years so you will need to discuss this.) There are several websites listed in your textbook that can help with searching for guidelines. The UTA library also has resources for clinical practice guidelines. If the source you use is not actually a clinical practice guideline you will lose a substantial amount of points on your paper.
- Find a clinical “how-to” article, a nursing professional practice website, a systematic literature review, a meta-analysis, or some other credible academic resource published within the past 5 years that relates to your practice question.
- Hint: Did you notice that you will be finding a total of four different sources of information for your PICO question? To re-cap, these four sources are:- Statistics you are reporting in paragraph one.
- Nursing quantitative research article for paragraphs 2, 3, and 4
- Clinical Practice Guideline (paragraph 5)
- A source of your choosing (paragraph 6)
- Step Five: Write up your findings in APA format and submit them to assignment portal by the due date and time listed in your syllabus. Here’s how to write up your findings:- Start with a 7th edition APA cover page. An example is provided by the instructor. The paper itself (not including cover page and references should be six pages or less)
- Paragraph #1: This is your opening paragraph. Start with an introduction statement. What is your PICO question? Describe why was it important (share the dollars, morbidity / mortality, statistics, safety stats you found with citation)? Paragraph #1 does not have a heading. You should put the title of your whole paper in the center in bold font where a heading would go. For the rest of the paragraphs, use the following headings: Summary of Research Article, Major Variables, Strengths and Weaknesses, Practice Guideline, Fourth Resource, Conclusion.
- Paragraph #2: What did your nursing quantitative research article add to your knowledge on this topic? State the design. Researchers use all sorts of different terms to describe designs, but you should use one of the broad terms mentioned in our textbook (descriptive, correlational, predictive correlational, model testing, experimental, or quasi-experimental). State the sampling method (also using one of the sampling method terms discussed in your textbook), and setting of the study (this should only take one sentence: e.g. “Smith and Johnson conducted a predictive correlational study using a convenience sample from a psychiatric outpatient clinic.”). State the major findings of the study (maximum 3 findings). The findings you share should come from the results or discussion settings and should be relevant to your PICO question and your practice as a nurse.
- Paragraph #3. Mention the major research variables in your article. Do not include demographic variables unless they are important to the results of the study. For each major variable, give a conceptual and operational definition (if the authors did not give a conceptual definition you can say “not given”). However, you can always say something about the operational definitions for variables because the authors must discuss the way in which variables are measured. Give the level of measurement for each variable (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
- Paragraph #4: Using the skills you have learned in your critique of a research article, describe two strengths or two weaknesses (or one strength and one weakness) that you found as you read this article. Go back to what you learned in your article critique about sampling methods, measurement methods (ex. questionnaires), and data collection (how did they collect the data to make sure you are being thorough in your assessment. Be specific, so that your instructor, if reading the article, can find them too. Do not re-state the limitations provided by the authors of your study unless they have to do with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection. Do not discuss the research design or the descriptive or inferential statistics used by the authors as a strength or weakness of the study, as this is not related to with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection.- Paragraph #5: What is the name and of the clinical practice guideline that you found? Give a weblink and an APA citation for the guideline. Share at least three facts that you found within the guideline that are relevant to the PICO question and your practice as a BSN nurse and cite the guideline appropriately. Make sure the source you cite is actually a clinical practice guideline with advice directed toward healthcare professionals.
- Paragraph #6: Identify the fourth resource you found (clinical “how-to” article, a systematic literature review, or a meta-analysis) that relates to your practice question. Share at least three facts that you found within this source that is relevant to the PICO question and your practice as a nurse, and cite appropriately.
- Paragraph #7 (and #8 if needed): re-state your PICO question and briefly summarize what you have learned through your search. Include information from each of your sources, and be sure to cite them all. Then, give specific recommendations for nursing practice. What would you recommend, if anything, as a change in practice for nurses? Why? Remember, this is your closing paragraph(s).
- Note to students about writing up your findings:
- This is a formal APA paper. Look at the Rubric for more APA information for this paper.
- Your paper must be between four and seven pages (double spaced). Use the following headings for paragraphs 2 through 7: Summary of Research Article, Major Variables, Strengths and Weaknesses, Practice Guideline, Fourth Resource, Conclusion. These headings should all be centered.
- Don’t use first person language (I, my, we, etc.) and don’t directly address the reader (you need to, etc.).
- Turn your paper (as a word document) and article (in pdf format) that you used for paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 in to the assignment submission link in Module Four at the due date and time listed in your syllabus.
- Possible points for this assignment: 100 points
