Week 6 Homework
There are countless sites that are willing to share the results of the data collection they perform with the general public. As analysts, it is important for us to understand how to acquire and work with a wide array of data from a wide array of sources. This week, we will focus on one open-source site:https://www.bls.gov/data/ – or – https://www.bls.gov/cps/tables.htm#charemp – You will have to cut and paste this into your browser – the site does not support direct linking.This week's assignment is to take one of the datasets available on this page and graph it using R. You have the choice of the dataset from the above page, and the type of visualization you wish to use. In your paper, describe the dataset and its significance.Your paper should be 500 words with a screenshot of the R code and the visualization you create. Feel free to cite one of this week's study materials or one that you locate via research but you should cite at least one reference, check your work with Grammarly and follow APA format.

STAKEHOLDER REGISTER/COMMUNICATION EXERCISE
Instructions: Using your Week 2 Business Case complete the following Stakeholder Register Exercise (Exhibit 6.4 on page 183 of the Kloppenborg text) and Project Communication Matrix (Exhibit 6.9 on page 192 of the Kloppenborg text). Templates based on these exhibits have been provided below.
Copy and paste your Business Case in the space below (ensure it is single spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font). Fill in ten (10) identifiable stakeholders from your selected project. At least six (6) of the ten (10) need to be specific stakeholders that must be key and internal within the overall execution and completion of the project. This means that they will be a primary part of completing the project and will be integral to the planning and execution phases of the project as well as doing the actual work. Then fill in the required information as provided in the Kloppenborg text for the Register and the Matrix.
Your identified stakeholders need to be specific. For example, listing City Government is not specific enough. What department of the city government are you referring to? Is it several? A construction project could include engineering, planning and zoning, public works and even mayor/council. However, these may not be key and internal unless in is a project being specifically completed by that organization or an agency of that organization. If you can breakdown an identified stakeholder group into smaller groups then you have not been specific enough. Do not leave out obvious stakeholders. Be thorough and be specific.
Be sure each tool starts on its own page. Ensure no row is split between two pages. Adjust row height and column width as needed to format properly.

Ensures issues are not forgotten
Issues log – a living document in which new and ongoing issues are recorded and stored & resolved issues are removed

PMBOK Exams
Tremendous overlap between Communications Management & Stakeholders Management (including recent changes—so make sure you are using most recent 6th edition of PMBOK to study!)
Besides developing Charter, only process in Initiating project phase is Identify Stakeholders
Main work of the next phase—the Planning Process Group—is creating the Project Management Plan.
PM plan is aggregate of plans from each of the ten knowledge areas and includes the Communications management plan & Stakeholders Management Plan
As always, be familiar with the inputs, tools & techniques, and outputs for each process

Casa de Paz Development Project
The stakeholder priority matrix shown is a start and now we need to understand what each needs to share with us and learn from us.
This leads us to create a communications matrix.
We need to develop and use agendas, minutes, issues logs and meeting evaluations.
How would you facilitate Agile ceremonies such as stand-up meetings and retrospectives?
