A:
Write a Project Management Plan paper in a MS-Word document formatted according to APA guidelines.
Paper length must be 1000-1500 words (not including cover pages and reference).
The paper must contain at least the following elements and sections:
Cover page (Paper title, Course title, Student names)
Introduction
Project Scope
Four most common quality management problems.
Reference list of 2+ supporting references (Scholarly references are journal/periodical articles or books.)
You can use the attached Final Paper Template Word document formatted in APA style to write your paper. Also attached is a Schedule Management Plan spreadsheet you can use for your paper if needed.
B:
Power Point Presentation
You will be required to provide a 20-minute presentation in class covering your final project. This should be based on your above paper.
A detailed and comprehensive project plan with the magnitude and complexities of the projects in this assignment (hospital, airport, bridge, etc.) can be hundreds of pages long and that is beyond the scope of this 8-week course. We are also very aware that you might not be subject matter experts on your particular project. However, the expectation is that the group will deliver a comprehensive but not very detailed summary of a large project plan that could be used as an executive summary to cover all the main components of the project but only at a high level. The executive summary paper (and its corresponding 20-minute presentation) could be used to promote solutions for the four most common quality management problems for approval to top management or government authorities.
The attached Final Paper Template has elements that can be covered in the Final Paper. We intentionally left out of the assignment other elements that are typically included in a formal project plan (resource planning, for example.) Be sure you follow the instructions in the template.
