Have Comm Sq complete a beta test for HHT Software and hardware at TMO warehouses and maintain a continuity Instruction for their personnel The Cross- Functional Support team responsible in seeing to the smooth transition and development of TMO Receiving Section would include Career Functional and Training Senior and Junior non- commissioned officers (SNCO/JNCO) members from both the Supply and TMO career Fields as well as, at a minimum, two high-performing direct line workers from each career fields from high volume base locations under Major Commands. The team must have member who have held titles such as Flight Chiefs, superintendents & NCO In-Charge as these titles show members have expertise in human resources, operations management and Budget management. Using team members that work in supply, from which the Receiving Section will be transitioning out, the team can ascertain…

In Agile development communication is of essence to narrow the communication gap between developers and stakeholders, Instead of following a traditional approach where the requirements documents is the most important goal, they put emphasis on improving the communication among all the stakeholders and developers to have a common understanding of these requirements (Carrera, A., Iglesias, C., & Garijo, M., 2014). Agilex Technologies (2010 - 2015) now acquired by Accenture Federal Services was a…

Hence the physical design and specifications are generated simultaneously. Whereas the other main prototyping method is more structured and does not allow for this, following a rigid model where the plans are set and then followed throughout the development process. What is Scrum in relation to Agile? Basically Scrum is a type of Agile used for software development. Scrum can be seen as a type of cross-functioning group that bounces workloads back and forth in order to complete the project in…

In Scrum, the events are divided into time boxed iterations called sprints which means once such sprint begins, the product should be delivered within the time frame allocated. Scrum adopts adaptive approach to face unpredictable changes in requirements also known as requirement volatility. It focuses on maximizing team’s ability to deliver product in time, response quickly to changes in requirements and adapt to the changes and need in the market. A sprint is the smallest fragment of scrum…

Maintenance phase, if the consumer finds errors and problems; the company will make necessary changes and upgrades to meet customer demands and loyalty. Agile development is heavily based on mathematical computations (Agile Methodology). It focuses on rapid delivery for functional components. Task at hand can be prioritized by the organization (Agile Methodology). If another emergent task appears the plan can be reprioritized and the information can be replanned for the future. The status of…

Agile were the eradication of offshore software developments teams and a transition to in-house software developers in Arizona, as well as the combination of the QA and development teams with extensive cross training in their respective specialties. The rationale behind the transition of offshore to in-house development deals with the fact that Agile development requires close proximity between team members in order to daily communication and cooperation. Moreover, the fact that…

3 Project Management 3.1 Methodology Since ultimately, this project is concerned with the development of an application for real users, it is important that we follow a user-centred approach. Not only should such an approach involve users at the early stages of the project when requirements are gathered, but it should involve users during the design, development and the evaluation process as well. User involvement is crucial as it gives them the opportunity to identify problems with the system…

After reading the article International transference of lean production systems by Reynold Peter James we have Known that the Lean production process is more than three decades old and is generally practiced for reduction of waste management and quality management. Toyota started using lean production process in 1950s to Toyota Production System was established on ideas intended to expand stream, dispose of waste of all types, and it acquired an incredible change organization by getting…

The lean management methodology upon which this book was based began from the lean manufacturing principles developed by Taiichi Ohno for the Toyota company in the mid-1900s. Ohno’s approach to production was anything that did not provide immediate value to the customer was considered a waste of resources and subsequently eliminated. This revolutionized Toyota’s manufacturing procedures and inspired many modern project management styles used today. Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, applied…

Be it a product or service, the Six Sigma methodology is widely uses across manufacturing and transactional projects alike (I Six Sigma, 2016). Effective use of Six Sigma concepts are taught by trained experts to the whole of the team (University of Pennsylvania, 2005). There are tow primary tools of Six Sigma, The Six Sigma DMAIC process (D-define, M-measure, A-analyze, I-improve, C-control) and, The Six Sigma DMADV process (D-define, M-measure, A-analyze, D-design, V-verify)(I Six Sigma,…
