All three projects are feasible from a financial standpoint because they all offer a decent return. The breakeven point for all three projects is greater than one year and less than two years. The largest return is to be found on the project with the highest risk associated with it; which is not surprising. Although the risk of completing this project on time is high. The product life is forecasted to be 7 years for this product. Furthermore, the project has already been mostly funded. Although the current expenditures could be considered a sunk cost, it is close to completion.
Not only does this project offer the greatest returns, there are also many other subsidiary benefits. By introducing an innovative product to the market place before the competition, the organization will be seen as a leader in this industry. I would recommend that this project take priority. The organization could implement a full risk management strategy to eliminate as many risks as possible. The organization could put their top talent on the project to ensure that they get the best result as possible.

A total quality management (TQM) strategy could also be implemented to support the project's quality and the final project's quality as well. A total quality management strategy will empower employees to improve process as opportunities are identified. This strategy also eliminates the quality control department and in a TQM model often times there is no or a limited quality control function. Quality is the responsibility of all the employees during the production process. Everyone is responsible for their own quality and is expected to perform to the best of their abilities. Many research studies have found that TQM practices are positively correlated with customer satisfaction and service quality in many service organizations (Ooi, Lin, Tan, & Chong, 2011).

Juniper, Palomino, and Stargazer project. This email will analyze some of the data associated with these projects. Each of the projects has a different level of risk associated with them that include a low risk project, a medium risk project, and a higher risk project. All three of these projects are feasible in regards to the financial returns that are projected to be gained from the individual projects. Projected Cash
Project Management Email Response Choosing a Project In order to determine which of the three projects is best, it is important to conduct a feasibility study. That is done to take a careful look at each one of the projects offered and examine what they provide to the company in the future. Of course, it is not possible to know exactly what will happen, and there are only projections and assumptions that
The simplest of these is the return on investment. The three calculations are presented; it is assumed that Juniper does give 3 years of returns and that the return for years 3-7 of Stargazer remains the same as year 3.

This software is used to perform common tasks like storage, data back up and data transfers. Small and medium businesses have embraced this technology because it involves no start up costs (like servers, hard disks, technicians etc.) therefore making it cost effective. Basically payment is based on the storage space taken by the user, again, this makes it user friendly. It may also be referred to as hosted storage. The flying

Asthma and ER utilization Asthma Asthma is a particularly debilitating condition. Asthma is characterized by a tightening in the chest with difficulty in breathing and wheezing.
