Course Project Overview

Introduction

This is an individual project.

For this course, each of you will complete a project management plan for your Course Project. Your project will use project management methodology involving a hybrid framework requiring both predictive and adaptive methodologies. Each of you in Advanced Project Management $($PROJ$430)$ will choose a project topic and develop various documents that are used throughout the project life cycle. The project documents will be completed and submitted in parts throughout the course. Your Final Project Management Plan will be submitted during Week $8$ to describe the completed project and include any updates.

Guidelines

The topic you select should be a project that will take between $6$ months to $1$ year to complete. Choose a business or community project topic in which you are interested and have knowledge of to make it easier for you to complete the assignments. The project should involve sociocultural differences $($to some extent$)$ to reflect how projects in real life can use the strengths of the differences for improved project outcomes, as well as to resolve any conflict due to these differences.

You will need to get the approval from the instructor for your selected topic during Week $1.$ Please email your instructor your proposed project. You may also select one of the projects below. A charter is provided for each option.

The intent of the Course Project is to be complex enough to require consideration of several project management issues. In completing the sample project documents for this course, consider the full breadth of the project work required but remember that you will develop the details to a lesser depth than would be required in reality.

As a reminder, your project topic must be a business or community topic that requires a hybrid framework. This will allow you to complete all sections of the project. Try to find a project at your workplace or community organization that you can use as a basis for completing these assignments.

You should keep in mind that your project must meet all of the following characteristics of a project.

A specific and defined objective

A defined life span with a definitive start and a definitive end

Involves multiple departmental organizations and professional staff members

Does something unique, not having been done before

Justifies a hybrid methodology where predictive and adaptive frameworks are required.

A defined work breakdown structure $($WBS$),$ budget, and quality and performance requirements

Note: Your report should demonstrate proper APA style, in$-$text citations, and a properly formatted reference page.
