GU has selected a system to replace its current learning management system. This system will impact thousands of students; hundreds of instructors; and many corporate office employees including those who support students. The system will be piloted to Nursing Graduates in early April with plans to roll the system out to all students in all courses by the end of July. The system must be available to students globally via the internet and the database must be open and accessible to provide a multitude of data for reporting and analytics. Included in this project are a new student portal and the ability for students to receive grades and information about classes through mobile devices.
You have interviewed with various business and technical staff at GU for a position as project manager to implement the new learning management system. The hiring manager is looking to determine your understanding of the project. You will present the overall project and how to establish the foundational areas for growth potential in data and user capability. Consider the concerns regarding a Macro project and the multiple Micro projects. How and what will you present. GU has set a 7 month window to implement and be fully functional.
