Why is planning is necessary ?Highlight on the steps of activity planning.

-

 Planning is necessary because:-

  • IT boosts project performance and success rates.
  • It saves money
  • It improves team communication.
  • IT ensures the best use of resources.

The steps of activity planning are given below:-

  • Set up activities
  • Define the relationship between activities
  • Estimate resources required for performing activities
  • Estimate durations for activities

Step 1: Set up activities

The first step of project activities planning and scheduling requires the project manager to define what amount of actons and tasks are necessary for producing project deliverables in a timely manner. The input for his process will be the project deliverables statement. The project managers can use this document to define high-level activities that will be used later in creating the project implementation schedule. The project managers should also work on developing project activities templates that helps simplify the process of project scheduling and planning.


Step 2: Define Relationship

The next step for planning activities and tasks requires the project manager to make a sequence of all activities identified in the previous step. The managers will use project activities lists, milestone lists, and the product scope statement to define relationships among the activities with the help of project management software, the person can set up priorities for each of the project activities and make sequences organized and sorted by importance and urgency.


Step 3: Estimate Resources

In this step, the project manager needs to review stakeholder requirements and the product scope statement to estimate the number of resources required for performing project activities and tasks. Also, expert judgment and alternative analysis should be used for this purpose. The constraints of time need to be considered when estimating activity resources. The project manager in cooperation with experts and should develop resources calendars and define the types of required activities.

Step 4: Estimate Duration

the final step in project ativity planning and scheduling requires the project manager to define and estimate the amount of working time required for accomplishing each identified activity. This is about setting up the duration for project activities and tasks. Duration will depending on:
  • The amount of work effort
  • Available activity resources
The project managers should review the resource decomposition and project aactiites templates to estimate the number of work periods for completing identifies activities and producing the deliverables

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

  Healthcare: ECG (Electrocardiogram) Analysis in cloud computing Healthcare is a field, subject, sector, or territory in which information technology has several uses. These apps are being used to aid businesses in supporting scientists in developing disease prevention solutions. Cloud computing has emerged as an appealing alternative for constructing health monitoring systems as a result of the development of the Internet or to put it another way, as a result of the availability of the internet. The ECG machine, for example, is a health monitoring device that measures the human body's heartbeat and prints the results on graph paper. The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart's Cardium. A waveform is created as a result of this action, which is repeated throughout time and symbolizes the heartbeat.  The analysis of the shape is used to identify arrhythmias, and it is the most common way of detecting heart diseases. Here the meaning of arrhythmias

Explain market-Oriented Cloud computing architecture.

  Market Oriented Cloud Computing (Mocc) As customers rely on Cloud providers to cover all of their computing needs, they will expect certain Qe from their providers to fulfill their objectives and continue their operations. Cloud providers must examine and satisfy the various QoS standards of each unique consumer as stipulated in unique SLAs. To do this, cloud providers cannot continue to install traditional system-centric resource management architectures that do not give incentives for them to share their resources while still treating all service requests as equal insignificance. Instead, market-oriented resource management is required to maintain the supply and demand for Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback in the form of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility. The diagram depicts a high-level architecture for enabling market-orie
