Instructions

You are required to submit a research paper on one of the project management topics listed below. The intent of this paper is for you to delve deeper into a particular topic, synthesize the material in a concise manner, and demonstrate critical thinking. It is about you ADDING VALUE to course content, not repeating it. Think of it as a mini literature review with an organizational example included to consider the usefulness of scholarly work. 

This is primarily about reporting back on what the literature says - it is not an opinion piece. You are encouraged and expected to critique the literature (what you think of it), but you must FIRST tell about the theory and the research, then you can offer your opinion on it and how it applies to you. The analysis paper should address a majority of the project management processes discussed throughout the course in each unit’s Discussion. 

1. The paper is to follow APA rules and guidelines.

3. The paper is to be 2500 (+/- 250) words in length.
4. The paper must have a title page and a separate page for references at the end. It is expected that the introduction comprises no more than 10% of the paper, the research body is to be roughly 70% of the paper, and the remaining 20% to be conclusion with application/reflection.
