Imagine you are the project manager for a large product development team, tasked
Imagine you are the project manager for a large product development team, tasked with creating a new design for an airplane wing that uses non-traditional materials. Your company is bidding on a potentially very large, 20-year contract with the Boeing Company, and stakes are high. You are on a very tight schedule, and your executive team has let you know that your career options hinge on winning this contract. You are ten days from the deadline and have just finished the first complete draft of your proposal, including a detailed budget, when your lead engineer informs you that, regrettably, the current wing design was based on a previously unknown calculation error, which invalidates the very foundation of your proposal. The engineer also informs you that a new wing design will have to include several new third-party components than the team previously thought necessary. You trust the engineer’s technical assessment.
With only a few days left before you have to produce a winning proposal, you must act quickly and decide immediately to: redo the design and order a mandatory 100% overtime for the next 10 days for everyone on your team. You know you must communicate the problem and your decision to the executive team, as well as informing your engineers and other project members with the goal of getting buy-in for your plan from both groups. Before you can respond to these issues, you must first determine the communication standards for the team. What are the recommended communication tools that you would suggest for the team? These tools can include standard communication tools, software tools, and formal procedures. Prepare a brief (two or three paragraphs) on your recommended communication tools and how these tools will be used to standardize communication among the teams. Based on the standards you have recommended, prepare emails to communicate the problem and decision.
Instructions:
For this assignment, you must write two separate emails, one to your project team and one to the executive committee, in which you:
Succinctly explain the problem.
Explain and justify your action plan, based on the best practices you have identified in the literature.
Discuss your confidence level in finishing the proposal to Boeing on time.
Answer the recipients’ respective, anticipated questions about the situation.
Include anything else you deem important for the intended audience.
Remember to follow “netiquette” rules for positive communications.
Combine your two emails into one Word document and make it clear which email is to the team versus the executive committee. You must also add a minimum of two external resources to support your emails.
Finally, you must create a personal Zoho (zoho.com) email account and email your paper to your instructor using your new Zoho mail account. For more information on Zoho email, please watch the Zoho video in this week’s resources.
Length: 2-3 pages (1-1½ pages per email), not including title and reference pages
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards

Case Scenario: Implementing Performance Measurement Systems
[WLOs: 3 and 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, and 3]
There are several types of measures and methods for assessing performance: job results/outcomes, essay methods, ranking, forced distribution, behavioral checklists, behavioral anchored rating scales (BARS), and management by objectives (MBO). Prior to beginning this assignment, please read Chapter 4: Defining Performance and Choosing a Measurement Approach and Chapter 5: Measuring Results and Behaviors of the course text to learn about key considerations in choosing one type of measurement procedure over another.
For this assignment, you will be assessing comparative and absolute performance measurement systems to be considered for implementation.
PART I: Comparative Performance Measurement System
As the human resources manager of an HR team of 30 individuals in a mid-sized construction company, you decide to implement a comparative performance measurement system to measure performance in your department.
Assess the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a comparative performance measurement system.
Explain three to five types of comparative performance measurement systems that are available for you to consider.
Choose one approach and explain how you would implement it in your department.
Explain why your selection was the best choice among the variety of comparative performance measurement systems.
PART II: Absolute Performance Measurement System
At the end of the year, a company-wide initiative calls for a revision of the performance measurement systems. Every manager including you, will be required to develop an absolute performance measurement system. The process is complicated by the fact that many of your direct reports are remote employees who interact via email and phone rather than in person.
Assess the advantages and disadvantages of implementing an absolute performance measurement system.
Explain three to five types of absolute performance measurement systems.
Choose one approach and explain how you would implement an absolute performance measurement system in your department next year, recognizing that you have limited time to devote to your department as you will be supporting other departments for the implementation in their areas.
Explain what you will consider in choosing an absolute performance measurement system.
PART III: Compare and Contrast
Please decide which performance measurement system will work best for your department.
Compare and contrast the two performance measurement systems.
Choose one performance measurement system that you feel will best work for your department.
Give a rationale for your decision.
Support your statements with scholarly and/or credible sources.
The Case Scenario: Implementing Performance Measurement Systems paper

Q 1. The following is the countdown function copied from Section 5.8 of your textbook.
def countdown(n):
if n >> countup(-3)
-3
-2
-1
Blastoff!
Write a Python program that gets a number using keyboard input. (Remember to use input for Python 3 but raw_input for Python 2.)
If the number is positive, the program should call countdown. If the number is negative, the program should call countup. Choose for yourself which function to call (countdown or countup) for input of zero.
Provide the following.
The code of your program.
Respective output for the following inputs: a positive number, a negative number, and zero.
An explanation of your choice for what to call for input of zero.
Q 2: You are developing a program that performs a division operation on two numbers provided by the user. However, there is a situation where a runtime error can occur due to a division by zero. To help junior developers learn about error handling in expressions and conditions, you want to create a program deliberately containing this error and guide them in diagnosing and fixing it.
Instructions:
Create a Python program that prompts the user to enter two numbers.
Implement a division operation on the entered numbers.
Introduce a condition that raises a runtime error if the second number is zero.
Provide an error message that clearly indicates the cause of the error.
Guide the junior developers in identifying the error message and implementing error handling techniques to handle the division by zero scenario.
Questions:
Provide a code demonstrating how to handle the division by zero error.
Output demonstrating the runtime error, including the error message.
Explain the significance of error handling in expressions or conditions, using the division by zero scenario as an example. Discuss the potential impact of not handling this error in a program.
Please provide detailed explanations and code snippets to guide the junior developers in understanding and addressing the division by zero error in Python programs.
Submission Instructions:
Submit the solutions to both questions in one document.
The code and its output must be explained technically. The explanation can be provided before or after the code. The descriptive part of your response must be at least 200 words.
