Description

The subject of the Project Execution Plan is a project of the student’s own choosing.  Students will not physically carry out a project but will use the ideas to develop a project plan and create a status report.  Projects may vary widely and may include such areas as construction of a vacation home, installation of a LAN network, starting a new business, organizing a charity event, a marketing campaign, organizing a sports tournament, filming a movie, leading an expedition, and developing a new product.  The projects may be the students’ own work in the past or something they anticipate working on in the future or simply a factitious product.  The key is that the project provides a vehicle for demonstrating mastery of course concepts. Students will begin work in earnest in Unit 7 with their submission of a project scope statement and a project network (PERT) diagram, for which feedback, but not a separate grade, will be provided.  

Instructions

1. Using the style and requirements described in course readings, prepare a document that contains two items: a statement of the project scope, and a project network diagram (PERT) that will allow your professor to determine whether your proposed project is both appropriate and achievable.
2. This submission will be due in Unit 7. It will not be graded, but is mandatory, with any late penalties applied to the final paper submission. Your professor will review your scope and diagram and provide feedback.
