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 with their submission of a project scope statement and a project network (PERT) diagram.

2. Effective reference of PM concepts from the course texts and other readings is encouraged and must be properly formatted. 

4. The paper must have a title page and a separate page for references (where they are used) at the end. It is expected that the introduction comprises no more than 10% of the paper, the body wherein the project scope, outcomes and objectives are described is to be roughly 70% of the paper, and the remaining 20% to be conclusion with recommendations/solutions/reflection.

 

Part 1: Project Scope and PERT Diagram
