Virtual office is the new office of the future. Although a virtual office has been around for a while, it has not been used by everyone because when the concept was adopted, there was not much technology developed yet to support it. Now, with the increasing amount of technology for home use, now companies can move more jobs to this form of an office. The most common careers using virtual office is customer service representative’s jobs. A plan is put into place when designing what an office should look like in the future. When a company designs a model for a project; there is also a model designed for future offices. Corporate America has designers to create an office. What I love is that Corporate also has to...

...To help the interview process be successful I will follow a JAD process. With a JAD process in place, we can structure each step to ensure the Interviewing process goes smoothly. The JAD session has several key members that participate and will ensure that the interviewing process is successful. The first step is to discuss the ground rules and objectives that will be laid out in the JAD Session. Also the interview methods will be outlined and questions that will be asked during the interview will be formed and finalized. The members of upper management should also explain the reason for the interview and project and what type of support is to be given and needed. Also each specific area of training that is required for TIMS should be broken down into special areas of training and each group being interviewed should have questions related to that field. Towards the middle of the second day, a review period should take place to discuss the main interview process, this will include a time to identify input, roles that each interviewer will have during the interview process as well as a small break so each team can take time to study and concentrate on specific questions for each training team being interviewed for. An open session should also be held for all groups participating in the JAD session so each group can express their concerns and ideas and develop a solid documentation of all the system requirements needed and start developing models and training material...

...Unit 3 Assignment Kerry Bridges Kaplan University IT460 Unit 3 Assignment ITEM 1 – INTERVIEW PROCESS: 1. Determine the people to interview To obtain the information I am looking for, I will need to interview key members of the organization. These members will need to be knowledgeable of their respective positions. I believe it would be best to talk to the department heads and their middle managers. I will also interview people on all levels in the organization. I will also interview multiple people in the same department. My reasoning for this is that everyone has their own strengths and specializations. 2. Established the interview objectives After determining the people to interview, I will establish the interview objectives for the session. I will determine the main topics to be discussed and come up with a list of questions and concerns. I aim to obtain ideas, suggestions, and opinions during the interviews. There will general questions asked to every person in their field. By establishing the objectives I will create the guidelines that will help to determine what questions are needed to ask. These guidelines will also determine how the interview will flow. 3. Develop Interview Questions I will create a baseline for the list of question. This will ensure that the interview proceeds smoothly and that the people being interviewed stays on topic. The questions will be specific to the topic. I want to make sure that the questions are both open-ended...

...Review Questions Name: Giovanni Acosta Answer the following questions (use MS Project Help, if necessary): 1. What is the difference between a main summary task and a summary task? Main summary tasks include a larger grouping of events like in this case, the entire project. The summary tasks are the little sub-projects that hold only a few events. There is really no difference in these. 2. On the View Tab, what does the Outline button with plus and minus signs do? The + expands the data and subtasks under the task names and the – contracts the same information. 3. What is a milestone? Milestones mark major project goals and phases. It visibly stands out to track progress in the project and is marked my indicators like the diamond. 4. What predefined report can you not make changes to the header and footer? The Project Summary report is the report you cannot change, per instructions in Lab1 part A- Select Page Setup for this report. The header and footer tabs are grayed out. For some reason, only known to Microsoft, this is the only report that you cannot change the header and footer. To that end, it is imperative that you enter all appropriate project information and project properties as discussed in the lab! 5. Give a real-world example of a) A successor task requiring lead time Installing equipment would require the successor task of purchasing it first, and installing the power would require a lead time for the equipment...

The human resources (HR) team within Microsoft International is made up of approximately 600 employees and provides support for HR management teams in more than 100 countries. The HR team uses many global systems and tools across each of the international Microsoft subsidiaries. One key HR objective was to standardize common business processes of all subsidiaries across all Microsoft locations. Jean O’Connor, HR project manager for Microsoft International, explained: Experience with different HR business processes would vary significantly from one location to the next. Without documentation, each new HR employee will need to be trained by someone who may or may not know the process. Teaching new hires an inefficient process can introduce repeatable errors and decreases our overall effectiveness. Increasing HR Processes Efficiency The team wanted to find ways to improve process efficiency and effectiveness across subsidiaries. To start, the HR team needed to understand current business processes at each subsidiary and be able to discuss them, which they achieved by diagramming them using Visio modeling Software. Benefits of Business Process Modeling The HR team used Microsoft Visio Premium 2010 to design templates (also called models ) that define and describe the steps in each process .
