During modules 6 and 7 you will work to complete your project plan using your outline as a guide.Project PlanImportant: Choose a narrow rather than a broad topic. For example, do not choose an enterprise-wide project. Instead, focus on a certain aspect or product of a larger program. During modules 6 and 7 you will write the bulk of your project plan based on the outline you developed in Assignment 5.2. Your project plan will be a 12-15 page report that will cover the key points in this course. To determine your information sources and what the report should contain, use this table as your guide: Topic Details Project Summary An overview of the situation, to include items such as the sponsors, customer(s), bidders, winner(s), project objectives/goals, constraints, and any other information necessary to establish the situation. Specifications A description of the end product or service in terms of characteristics, requirements, and performance goals. Statement of Work (SOW) A SOW can be used but it must be abridged to adhere to the page count. Master Schedule A time scale showing the interrelationships of project tasks. Sub-schedules need not be discussed if it would make you exceed your page count. Procedures Guide The rules and practices that govern the project. Elaborate on whether procedures comply with or violate company/government policy. Cost Controls A work breakdown structure that shows activities, components, and committed resources. If the observed company refuses to release their controls, develop one on your own. Materials and Equipment Forecast A depiction of how materials will be managed. Applicable only to projects where procurement and movement of materials was required. Cross-Impact Matrix A Functional Cross Impact Matrix showing which organizational units/key personnel are involved in the process of completing each task of the project. Project Organization Plan A simple break down of the major project responsibilities. Management Plan A description of how management was/will be conducted and how the project will be monitored.
