Homework: Project Management
For this homework, you need to create a project proposal based on a fictional project. Review the Unit II Lesson for additional insight on the purpose of a project proposal and for assistance in compiling a project proposal. You may base your project on one of the following topics or a topic of your choice approved by your professor:
i. training seminar,
ii. construction project,
iii. department retreat,
iv. new product development,
v. software development project, or
vi. other.
When you create the proposal, you should take into account the technical considerations, management considerations, and pricing considerations. However, you do not necessarily need to include these within your project proposal, as you will be performing a more extensive project later in the course. As for now, follow the model of a simplified project proposal, which will include the following sections:
i. Statement of Customer's Needs: Communicate customer needs that will be fulfilled through this project.
ii. Assumptions: Identify and briefly explain all assumptions associated with this project.
iii. Project Scope: Explain the project using specific details as it fulfills customer's needs.
iv. Deliverables: Include specific deliverables expected by the completion of this project. This should include an analysis of the measures of performance.
v. Resources: Identify resources necessary to complete this project.
vi. Schedule: Include a schedule that has real dates.
vii. Price: Establish pricing strategies.
viii. Risks: Identify the risks associated with the completion of this project. This should include an explanation of risks and rationale for continuing with this project. An analysis of the measures of performance through a look at the context of triple constraint should be reviewed in the risk section.
ix. Expected Benefits: Clearly identify the benefit to be received by the completion of this project. This should include an analysis of the measures of performance.
