Discuss the importance of project management. What are the different sections of project plan.

-

The importance of project management is an important topic because all organizations be it small or large at one time or other are involved in implementing now undertakings.

These undertakings may be diverse such as the development of a new product on service; the establishment of a new production line in a manufacturing enterprise, a public relations promotion campaign, or a major building program.

Project management involves systematically planning and implementing activities to ensure project completion on time within budget and to the requirement specification.

Project management effectively controls organizational change allowing organizations to introduce new products new, processes, and new programs effectively.

Project management concepts & techniques can be applied to a broad range of projects such as

  • the building of a block of apartments, 
  • a bridge, or a new aircraft, 
  • the design and development of an s/w package, 
  • the planning, and staging of an event.

A different section of project planning are:-

  1. Introduction: It describes the objectives of the projects and sets out the constraints like budget time etc that affect the project management.
  2. Project organization: It describes the way in which the development team has organized the people involved and their role in the team.
  3. Risk Analysis: This describes the possible project risk, the likelihood of these risks arising, and the risk reduction strategies that are proposed.
  4. Hardware and software resource requirements: This specifies the H/S  required to carry out the development. If the hardware has to be bought estimated prices and delivery schedule may be included.
  5. Work breakdown: In this phase, the project is broke down into activities and identifies the milestones and deliverables associated with each activity.
  6. Project schedule: This phase shows the dependencies between activities the estimated time required to reach each milestone and the allocation of people to each activity.
  7. Monitoring and reporting mechanism: This defines the management report that should be produced.

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.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

Explain network topology .Explain tis types with its advantages and disadvantges.

Network topology Network topology refers to how the nodes and links in a network are arranged. A network node is a device that can send, receive, store, or forward data. A network link connects nodes and may be either cabled or wireless links. Understanding topology types provides the basis for building a successful network. There are a number of topologies but the most common are bus, ring, star, and mesh: A bus network topology is when every network node is directly connected to a main cable. In a ring topology, nodes are connected in a loop, so each device has exactly two neighbors. Adjacent pairs are connected directly; non-adjacent pairs are connected indirectly through multiple nodes. In a star network topology, all nodes are connected to a single, central hub and each node is indirectly connected through that hub.  A mesh topology is defined by overlapping connections between nodes. You can create a full mesh topology, where every node in the network is connected to every other
