Foundations of Project Management

Project Plan

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 Project risk assessment The organization and human resources plan
Week 4	The WBS The project schedule and budget
Week 5	The project control plan The project closeout plan The final presentation and paper

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.
