Initial Postings: Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook must be the primary source utilized and listed in your reference section (and properly cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion. This means that they support the material from the textbook. Do not use other sources to substitute for or replace the textbook.
Provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
Define and provide one example each of a known known, known unknown, and unknown unknown you have encountered on previous projects. Which of the these would be addressed during planning phase? Which would be the basis for listing on a risk register? Why?
To help identify risks, what are some questions a project manager could ask when reviewing the project charter and WBS? Why would these be the questions to ask?
Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!
Your initial post should be at least 500+ words and in APA format (written in full , using proper paragraph structure, sources cited within the body of the main text and Times New Roman with font size 12).
Submitting the Initial Posting: Your initial post should be completed by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. EST.
Response to Other Student Postings: Respond substantively (at least 100 words) to the post of at least two peers, by Friday, 11:59 p.m. EST. A peer response such as “I agree with her,” or “I liked what he said about that” or similar comments are not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. Also, just repeating information from the course material or your own initial post does not satisfy these criteria.
Continue the discussion through Sunday, 11:59 p.m. EST by highlighting differences between your postings and your colleagues’ postings. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives. This means an on-going conversation in addition to the two required responses above.
Evaluation of posts and responses: Your initial posts and peer responses will be evaluated on the basis of the kind of critical thinking and engagement displayed. The grading rubric evaluates the content based on four areas: Content Knowledge & Structure, Critical Thinking, Presentation & Writing Mechanics, and Response to Other Students
Discussion 11 (Analyzing)
This week we turn our attention to annotations. Annotation is a crucial component of good data visualization. It can turn a boring graphic into an interesting and insightful way to convey information. This week, please navigate to any site and find a graphic that could use some annotation work. Add the graphic and the website it is found as an attachment to this post and note what you would do to enhance the graphic and note why you would make these decisions.
In response to peers, add additional information to their posts noting what else could be done to enhance the graphic.
This should be a minimum of 300 words, checked with Grammarly, with at least one APA formatted reference.

Headings and introductions: Titles, subtitles and section headings, often combined with longer passages to describe the background and aims of a project.
User guides: Advice or instructions on how to use interactive features.
Reader guides and legends: Detailed instructions advising viewers how to perceive and interpret the chart, describing the associations between data values and attribute classifications.
Chart apparatus and references: Structural components found in different chart types, such as axis lines, gridlines or tick marks, as well as markings that assist with interpretation.
Chart labelling and captions: Axis titles, axis labels, value labels and commentaries.
Footnotes and methods: Include data sources, credits, and time/date stamps. May be expanded to provide more detailed description of data handling processes, assumptions and shortcomings.
Summary cont.
If these were the options, how did you make your choices? The influencing factors included:
Audience: Considering the characteristics and needs of the audience to determine what assistance they might need.
Setting: Will the audience have the scope to engage with annotations if the encounter is characterized by time pressures?
Purpose: The tone and experience offered will influence the type of annotations required.
Accessible design: Many annotations are based on text displays and so you need to consider the legibility of the typeface you choose and the logic behind the font–size hierarchy you display.
