determine how an EA could be used to help the DMV accomplish the objectives stated explicitly and implicitly in the case study.

Enterprise Architecture Justification Paper – Individual Assignment
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program benefits an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization’s ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
Using the DMV case study provided, determine how an EA could be used to help the DMV accomplish the objectives stated explicitly and implicitly in the case study. The organization discussed in the case study has many issues with its current environment and many changes that it wants to make. It has not established an EA program yet.
The purpose of your paper is to briefly explain what an EA program is, and then justify a recommendation to establish an EA program for the organization. The DMV has taken on the CSI Redesign initiative so this presents an opportunity to explore how EA can be a benefit. You need to orient this assignment to justify recommendations on how the DMV can benefit from implementing a more holistic (EA) solution. You can use the CSI redesign effort as a basis on which to build, but your recommendations for EA should scale sufficiently.
You should provide at least four specific examples from the case study to show how an EA program could be of benefit, and you should provide at least two examples of how EA specifically benefitted another organization in solving problems similar to ones in the case study. (NOTE: More than four examples are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) Your paper will be graded on both the accuracy and the strength of your justifications; it needs to make a strong and compelling case for establishing an EA program for the DMV.
Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages). The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the following link: http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.
Submit your paper in Word format via your Assignments Folder as an attached document with your last name included in the filename.

Describe a time when you participated in a project and how it was or could have been affected by cost and schedule.

In your own words, answer this unit’s discussion questions in a main post (recommended minimum 300 words)

 

Assignment Details

The importance of creating a plan is to ensure that the project goals are defined and met. Also, it is crucial to understand that projects are living activities—circumstances change, risks that previously identified become a reality, and obstacles that were not previously identified come to light. Those are only a few reasons why project plans need to adapt to changes in the project environment.

  • Describe a time when you participated in a project and how it was or could have been affected by cost and schedule.

After posting your response, respond to at least 2 of your peers. When responding to your peers, reflect on your response. How is your project experience similar or different, and what knowledge can you gain from their shared experience?

Identify the original idea(s) in the article

Select three of the ten references from your Reference List assignment. Create an annotated bibliography for each of the three references.

Each annotation must have 150-200 ws, making a total of 450-600 ws for the entire assignment. Each annotation should have the following elements:

  1. APA style reference of the article being annotated
  2. A paraphrased summary of the article (See note on paraphrasing below.)
  3. An assessment of why it is a scholarly reference
  4. A reflection on how it is applicable to your research

Note: Go to the Student Success Center and search key words “Preparing Annotated Bibliographies” for help with this assignment.

Note on Step 2 Paraphrasing: Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. As you write each annotation use the following paraphrasing guidelines.

There are three main steps to paraphrasing:

  1. Identify the original idea(s) in the article
  2. Identify general points regarding the idea(s)
  3. Summarize the general points of the article in your own words

Follow the steps above for all three references you chose.

What do you think are the benefits of getting vaccinated and are there any scientific or medical reasons (exclude personal or religious reasons) that could serve as reasonable contraindications to being vaccinated or that would justify prolonging this medical intervention?

There are few individuals in the world who have not been impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19).

For your initial post, do some research on coronaviruses and then share what you learn about how a typical coronavirus compares to COVID-19. What does it mean for a virus to “mutate” and what could this mean to the process of developing immunity? Many people have chosen to get vaccinated while others have not. What do you think are the benefits of getting vaccinated and are there any scientific or medical reasons (exclude personal or religious reasons) that could serve as reasonable contraindications to being vaccinated or that would justify prolonging this medical intervention?

Which scenarios or external factors would cause the parasympathetic nervous system to activate this response?

The Autonomic Nervous System can be challenging to understand because it is connected to virtually every body function in opposite ways. We are going to explore the physiology of the ANS in this discussion by looking at specific examples of how it works.

Initial post:  For your first discussion post, describe how the parasympathetic nervous system influences one function in your body. For example, the parasympathetic nervous system causes decreased blood pressure. If you chose this body function, you would describe the physiology behind the decreased blood pressure. How does it happen? What occurs in the heart/blood vessels? Which scenarios or external factors would cause the parasympathetic nervous system to activate this response?
