Project Assignment
Part 1: Effectively Communicating the Message: Who Is the Target Audience?
Before beginning this assignment, read the lecture, and the materials identified in the required resources section. For the final interactive assignment in this course, you will prepare a short presentation for two separate stakeholder audiences to whom you will need to communicate your proposed solution to CWI's business problem.
Narrate a short presentation (one to three slides), and explain the changes and differences to the two audiences. Provide the information each audience needs and/or expects. Identify the stakeholder audience you are addressing. Then, post two separate audio files of no more than two minutes long-one for each audience-which delivers a synopsis of your proposed solution tailored for that stakeholder audience. Post the slides that you will use when you present to each audience.
Part 2: Cool Widgets, Inc. Solution Proposal:
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the lecture and the materials in the required resources for this week. Additionally, review past materials in this course to help you prepare for the final assignment. You are the Senior Business Systems Analyst (BSA) charged with analyzing CWI's mail delivery problem and proposing a solution to address the issue. You have worked hard these past six weeks on elicitation, requirements gathering, modeling, analysis, and Agile techniques.

Your proposal takes two separate forms. The first part is a 5- to 10-minute audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation to executive and senior management.
Your audio-narrated presentation must be 5- to 10-minutes in duration. Your presentation must include 8- to 10- audio-narrated presentation slides to the executive board or senior management.
