¶ … Scoped Strategic Process
A -Defined -Scoped Strategic Process
Assess and explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods for evaluating projects and rank portfolios.
Advantages of Net Present Value Method
A major advantage associated with the Net Present Value evaluation method is how it considers the time value linked to money. As time moves on, the value of money also changes. This is particularly during high deflation or inflation periods. It is impossible for any business organization to depend on money, which would be worth the same value in the future. This method enables companies to consider the net value of money at present and in future (Simerson, 2011).
Disadvantages of Net Present Value Method
The net present value method has disadvantages, as well. One of them is that it forces organizations to conduct extremely complex calculations. Organizations must estimate every transaction-taking place within the project. Numeric tables are used in order to provide interest rates and multiplier for different periods. The company must identify the appropriate multiplier. This is done under each transaction as well as the cash amount resulting from the multiplier....
The company must add up the total so that it can establish the project's net present value after conducting the transactions (Bruton & White, 2010).
Discuss how project evaluations can be used to make decisions on individual projects -- especially in the termination of projects.
Project managers must assess their activities in order to make sure that everything is effective aptly and periodically. Project evaluation helps in identifying areas that need improvement and helps project coordinators to realize their goals efficiently. In addition, when project participants share their results about what they perceived to be less or more effective, it enables them to advance their environmental education. Project evaluations enable individuals to demonstrate their progress and success. They gather information, which allows them to communicate the impacts of the project. This is vital for public relations, maintaining support from potential and current investors and for staff morale (Simerson, 2011).

IT Project Business Strategy Alignment Why is it critically important to align IT projects with the business strategy? Any enterprise undertaking that will require substantive expenditure of resources, whether time or labor or materials, or that will impact operations to an important degree should be aligned with the business strategy.

Strategic positioning is the positioning of an organization (unit) in the future, while taking into account the volatile environment, plus the systematic recognition of that positioning. The strategic positioning of an organization includes the planning of the desired future position of the organization. On the basis of present and foreseeable progress, and the making of plans to realize that positioning. The strategic positioning method is devised from the business world. The method
processed foods and diet has had a negative effect upon many populations, particularly contributing to obesity and potential Type-II diabetes and a host of other problems. Medical doctors, scholars, researchers are all in agreement that there is a complete link between what we eat and drink, and the consequences to our overall health. Technology has certainly done wonders for learning, but has also contributed to children preferring video games
According to Dowdle, Stevens, & Daly (2007), process-based interventions reflect a particular organizational philosophy, namely that organizations exist as a series of processes which are designed to deliver value to the customer. The presumption is that by setting benchmarks for specific process improvements, the organization will be able to improve in efficiency, cost savings, and ultimately profitability. Processes are not separate from strategy but rather are an integral part of
