The course project flows from Week $1$ to Week $5.$ For the course project, you need to choose a project topic and submit it for your instructor's approval. The instructor may assign a project scenario if the proposed project topic is not deemed adequate to meet the learning objectives of the course.

After the approval, you will submit specific project deliverables each week.

In Week $5,$ you need to submit a final written plan and a presentation of the project. You are encouraged to use Microsoft Project $($or other project management software tools$),$ but its use is not required for this introductory project.

The project deliverables for each week are as follows:

Week Deliverables

Week $1$

The proposed project topic paper

Week $2$

The statement of need

The statement of the goals and objectives of the project

Stakeholder and project requirements

The project scope statement

Week $3$

The project communications plan

The organization and human resources plan

Week $4$

The WBS

The project schedule and budget

Week $5$

For this week, identify an industry for the project and a $2-3$ page synopsis of your chosen project. In your synopsis, provide a rationale for how the project will meet the course objectives and describe the anticipated scope and project outcomes.

You should carefully consider the scope of the project so that you can complete the necessary work in the compressed time frame of this course.
