Homework
Section A: Capstone Project Plan
You are now in the final stage of the capstone project development. All previous documentation should be combined into one document that will serve as the statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the CEO of your chosen company and the leadership team approve your strategy recommendations. The presentation should be very detailed in order to address potential concerns and provide support for your recommendations. However, the executive team is only interested in a 30-minute summation.
