Assignment Task – 2: [30 Marks] Project Management using Program evaluation and Review technique (PERT) and Critical path method (CPM)Based on the project scenario given below, answer the following questionsScenario: Your organisation, ABC construction group has made a winning bid to construct a new manufacturing plant. The client expects the plant to be functional within a year. You are assigned as the Project Manager to ensure that the whole project stays on schedule. The two important conditions as per the client contract are:-
ABC construction group will incur a penalty if the work is not completed by the deadline of 47 weeks from now.
ABC construction group will be provided additional incentive if the work is completed within 40 weeks.

For any given activity, its immediate predecessors (as given in the third column of Table) are those activities that must be completed by no later than the starting time of the given activity. (Similarly, the given activity is called an immediate successor of each of its immediate predecessors.) For example, the top entries in this column indicate that:-
Excavation does not need to wait for any other activities.
Excavation must be completed before starting to lay the foundation.
The foundation must be completely laid before starting to put up the rough wall, etc.
When a given activity has more than one immediate predecessor, all must be finished before the activity can begin. In order to schedule the activities, you have consulted with each of the crew supervisors to develop an estimate of how long each activity should take when it is done in the normal way. These estimates are given in the rightmost column of Table. Adding up these times gives a grand total of 79 weeks, which is far beyond the deadline for the project. Fortunately, some of the activities can be done in parallel, which substantially reduces the project completion time.
Given all this information, please develop answers to the following questions:-1. Develop a project network diagram to visually display the whole project and describe the project network diagram (10 marks)
2. Schedule the whole project with PERT/CPM. In doing so, you must be able to satisfy these crucial objectives:-
Total time required to complete the project if no delays occur
The start and finish of individual activities to meet the project completion deadline
The start and finish of individual activities if no delays occur
Critical activities where any delays must be avoided to prevent delaying project completion
The delay that can be tolerated for other activities, without delaying project completion.
(20 marks)

Evidence-Based Practice and Evaluation of the Project Through Measureable Goals Overview: Dr. Marcia Stanhope (2016) explained that evidence-based public health practice refers to those decisions made by using the best available evidence, data and information systems and program frameworks; engaging community stakeholders in the decision-making process; evaluating the results; and then disseminating that information to those who can use the information. Practicum Discussion: This week, your assignment will be to incorporate all of the information you have gathered from the communityincluding the population itself, health data, interviews/conversations with interested community members, and your community assessment, including your Windshield Surveyas well as what you have gathered from scholarly literature to propose measureable interventions. Measureable interventions mean that the results can be measured through some data that could be collected (Stanhope, 2016). This requires thinking in terms of actions and then measuring results. An evaluation of interventions is important to see whether or not they are effective in solving a health care problem. Remember, you will need to use the data you gathered to determine whether or not a problem exists in your community and to then determine whether your interventions might be effective. Please discuss the following points in your Practicum Discussion: Identify one evidence-based behavior change that would promote health in your selected population. Suggest one specific culturally sensitive, evidence-based, measureable intervention to address the health problem for your selected population. Think in terms of measuring outcomes. What outcomes would you expect to see once the intervention(s) are in place? Be specific.

Practicum Journal Entry: Certification Plan
Assignment 1: Week 1 Practicum Journal Entry: Certification Plan
Psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioners currently have only one choice for certification, which is through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The ANCC offers the psychiatric/mental-health nurse practitioner (across the lifespan) board certification (PMHNP-BC). In many states, board certification is needed as a prerequisite to being granted an NP license. Even if board certification is not a requirement for state licensure, it may be a requirement to receive privileges in various hospitals and other health care facilities. It may also be required by malpractice insurance providers prior to issuing coverage to NPs.
In this Practicum Journal Assignment, you will develop a plan, which will serve as the road map for you to follow to attain your certification.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Analyze state restrictions or limitations for practice
Analyze clinical practice issues
Create plans for passing national certification exams
