how will the team continue to manage the stakeholders’ expectations and keep them informed of the project’s progress?

Unit III Scholarly Activity

Instructions

Two of the most important elements of the project are the project team and the project stakeholders. The stakeholders will state their expectations and their critical success factors for what a successful project will look like during the project’s initiation phase. The project team will be responsible for completing the tasks in order to meet the critical success factors. In this course, you will use a sample project for the local nonprofit animal rescue. The animal rescue team has asked you to prepare for an outdoor adoption event.
For this assignment, you will write a paper in which you consider the 5Ws and 1H of project management and apply them to your sample project. Consider the project team you will need to create for the Lucky Me Animal Rescue adoption event. Begin your paper with a summary of the initiation phase, and elaborate on why team formation is critical in this phase. Next, assess each of the team considerations listed below.
Who should be on the team? Be sure to consider necessary skills and expertise.
What are your expectations of the team? In what ways can you prepare the team and promote unity and cohesion?
When should the project team be formed?
Where will your team operate (e.g., group, individual, virtual)?
Why is each member of the team important?
Finally, how will the team continue to manage the stakeholders’ expectations and keep them informed of the project’s progress?

Answer the questions above and provide your rationale for each. Your submission must be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages.
You must use at least three sources that are either peer-reviewed or academic in nature to support your submission. One of the sources may be our textbook.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including the title page and in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that an abstract is NOT needed.

CULTURE
You are socialized within a culture the moment you are born, both through your family and your broader community interactions.
As humans develop and mature, they learn the unwritten rules of social behavior and interaction as they watch and participate in their social environment. An individual’s culture is often influenced by nationality, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.
By recognizing you have a culture in the context of a larger culture, and that your distinct culture exists along with other distinct cultures, how could that help you see the nature, value, and strengths of those other cultures? In this Discussion, you consider similar questions.
RESOURCES

WEEKLY RESOURCES
TO PREPARE
Consider the different aspects of culture such as: language, communication style, art, customs/traditions (e.g., holidays, weddings, funerals), values, stories, religion, food, social habits (e.g., eye contact, how close one stands, how one greets or says “good”), gender roles, clothing, music.
Reflect on the first time you remember someone else displaying a different cultural characteristic than your own. Where were you? What did you notice? How did you respond?
Read Standard 1.05 from the NASW Code of Ethics:

1.05 Cultural Awareness and Social Diversity
(a) Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures.
(b) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients’ cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients’ cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups.
(c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability.
(d) Social workers who provide electronic social work services should be aware of cultural and socioeconomic differences among clients and how they may use electronic technology. Social workers should assess cultural, environmental, economic, mental or physical ability, linguistic, and other issues that may affect the delivery or use of these services.
BY DAY 3
Post a response to the following:
Briefly identify and describe your culture.
Describe your first memory of a cultural difference.
Explain the information a social worker would need to know about an individual’s or family’s culture in order to effectively deliver services to them.

Do you see differences between academic and public sources in terms of how the paragraphs are constructed?

Unit VI Journal

Instructions
In this unit, we discussed the creation of body paragraphs for your research paper. You should have a good idea of what your revised thesis statement will look like, the points that you want to include, and the evidence you will use to support those points.
Let’s take just a moment and think about the process so far. Feel free to use this writing as a reflection upon what you have experienced so far in the course. You might want to consider some of the questions below, but you are not required to answer them. Remember, as always, that this writing should be a positive and constructive experience for you. The idea is that you reflect upon the process so that you understand it, understand yourself as a new student writer, and understand the challenges and successes you experience.
What do you think is your strongest point? What do you think is your weakest? Do you think the scope of your project is narrowed down efficiently? How are you feeling about the process? What do you think about the structure of the body paragraphs? Does the structure seem too restrictive or helpful and guiding? Looking back on some of the materials that you have read, can you see the structures that we have discussed in the course so far? Do you see differences between academic and public sources in terms of how the paragraphs are constructed?
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
