...What to Include in a Project Scope Statement By Stanley E. Portny The Scope Statement is an essential element of any project. Project managers use a Scope Statement to outline the results their project will produce and the terms and conditions under which they will perform their work. The people who requested the project and the project team should agree to all terms in the Scope Statement before actual project work begins. Your Scope Statement should include the following information: * Justification: How and why your project came to be, the business need(s) it addresses, the scope of work to be performed, and how it will affect and be affected by other related activities * Objectives: The products, services, and/or results your project will produce (also referred to asdeliverables) * Product scope description: The features and functions of the products, services, and/or results your project will produce * Product acceptance criteria: The process and criteria for accepting completed products, services, or results * Constraints: Restrictions that limit what you can achieve, how and when you can achieve it, and how much achieving it can cost * Assumptions: Statements about how you will address uncertain information as you conceive, plan, and perform your project Think of your Scope Statement, when viewed together with the other components of your project plan, as a binding agreement in which * You and your team commit to producing certain results...

...Project Scope Statement This project is being undertaken to establish and celebrate the union between the two parties involved. The wedding will consist of a wedding ceremony held at the bride’s church, Sacred Heart Church in Springfield, IL. The reception or celebration part of the evening will follow. The celebration will occur June 21, 2014. The couple wants to incorporate their personal beliefs into their celebration. The couple wants a personalized event that reflects their unique personalities. The couple wants their friends and relatives to play an active role at the ceremony. Also, the couple wants to adhere to their strict $25000 budget. The bride has acquired Lucky In Love Wedding Consultants to plan the event. The consultants will work to make sure all of the vendors work to create the couple’s vision within budget on June 21, 2014. Some of the vendors who will be used are part of Lucky In Love, Inc.

...beginning of the function definition and begins with the keyword 'def' followed by the name of the function, followed by a set of parenthesis, and followed by a colon. The block is a set of statements that belong together as a group, and are performed any time the function is executed. When a function is executing, what happens when the end of the function block is reached?When a function is executing, it 'returns' when the end of the block is reached - meaning the interpreter jumps back to the part of the program that called the function, and the program resumes execution at that point. What is a local variable? What statements are able to access a local variable?A local variable is a variable that is declared inside of a function. Only statements in the same function can access a local variable. What is a local variable's scope?A local variable's scope is the part of a program in which the variable may be accessed and is only visible to the statements in the variable's scope. Why do global variables make a program difficult to debug?Global variables make a program difficult to debug because any statement in a program file can change the value of a global variable. If you find that the wrong value is being stored in a global variable, you have to track down every statement that accesses it to determine where the bad value is coming...

...Tourmaline Surf Park Beach Tourmaline Surf Park Beach is located about a mile north of Crystal Pier. This San Diego beach is very secluded and accessible only by a road making its way down a hill from La Jolla Blvd to the parking lot. Tourmaline Surf Park Beach is very popular for surfers and kiteboarders year round. You can find a lot of old time surfers here, with great tales of the past. This is one of the true surf hangouts in San Diego County. Tax payers in the city of San Diego California have recently approved a $21 million bond that is to be used to renovate, rehabilitate and recreate local parks and public facilities. $3.2 million has been allocated to the recreation of Tourmaline Surf Park. The current Tourmaline Surf Park Beach has beach access, a men’s and women’s restroom, a men’s and women’s changings are and 3 outdoors showers to rise off after a enjoying the beach. The current surf park boasts 175 parking spots with 3 disabled spots. Tourmaline Surf Park is located about a mile and a half from the nearest lifeguard station, this proposal is in include a small lifeguard precinct, new restrooms and will retain the current amount of parking spaces. The goal of this project is to clean up a great park that has been neglected over the years. The original structure was built in 1971 and is lacking some of today’s amenities. This project will take 9 months to complete and is expected to come in under budget, simply because of the fact electrical and plumbing...

...Using Global Variables Global Variables Global variables are used in applications in programming. There are advantages and disadvantages to using these variables. Using global variables has its advantages in some forms of applications, while using them in others would make using them more difficult. Global variables are useful when you need to share a function with all functions in an application. Global variables can be easier to identify in an application by giving them a unique name, so that other programmers can see they are working with a global variable when maintaining your application. On small programs such as widgets or gadgets it may be easier to use global rather than passing around local variables. Using a global variable means that other functions cannot update it. Another advantage to global is that they can be accessed from anywhere in the program. Some are also disadvantages to using global variables. Global variables can create mutual dependencies, with an increase in dependencies the complexity of the code increases. Any function can access a global variable in the program so a change in the program at one point can change values everywhere. Global variable also slow down performance speed a little. Using global variables makes reusing parts of the script impossible. Global variables also make tracking a bug much harder. When declaring a global variable in a flowchart, you would but the variable in the main part of the program, hence the box the...

So if we take the exclusive-or of two integers, the result has a one in every bit position in which the numbers differ, and zeroes everywhere else. public static int hammingDistance(int a, int b) { int count = 0; // bits has a one wherever a and b differ int bits = a ^ b; while (bits != 0) { if ((bits & 1) == 1) // is the low bit one? ++count; bits = bits >>> 1; // done w/this bit } // while something’s nonzero return count; } // hammingDistance() This simplified the loop condition and took one shift out of the loop body. 5 Hamming Distance—Final Version It turns out we can simplify things a bit more through the use of the Java library. public static int hammingDistance(int...

...operate in tandem. System software provides a platform for the execution of application software. Examples of system software are BIOS and firmware. Application software is created for users. They manage their specific tasks to suit their needs like a media player of word processors. Examples of application software are CRM software, ERP software, accounting, graphics, and media software. 2.) What does it mean when we say that an interpreter both “Translates and Executes” Instructions? In the case of the interpreter, it translates and executes each line of codes one line at a time. Thus if the program has syntax errors (violation of program rule) lower down in the code, you never know until the interpreter reaches to that statement. 3.) Explain the “fectch-decode-execute” cycle. In the first step, fetch instruction, the processor fetches the instruction from the memory. The instruction is transferred from memory to instruction register. The processor is ready to fetch instruction. The instruction pointer contains the address 0100 contains the instruction MOV AX, 0. The memory places the instruction on the data bus. The processor then copies the instruction from the data bus to the instruction register. In the second step, decode instruction, the instruction is decoded by the processor. For example, the instruction MOV AX, 0. Stores the value 0 in Ax register. The processor will fetch the constant value 0 from the next location in memory before executing the instruction...
