To create your outline, you should begin by working with the approved Project Proposal you submitted in Week 4. Your outline must be structured using distinct sections (based on the Project Proposal) that will ensure the application of the concepts and techniques already presented in this module. The different sections of the Project Proposal are as follows:
- Project scope statement
- WBS
- Project schedule
- Staffing (resource) management plan
- Cost estimates
- Risk management plan
- Communications plan
- Quality plan
In this stage, you should provide additional detail under the sections identified. The outline you submit must show clear boundaries between the sections of the Final Project that relate to the following:
- Background information
- Chosen methodology
- Identification of external resources
- Analysis and interpretation of results
- Conclusions and recommendations
Your outline should also provide a preliminary list of references you intend to consult to support your entire project. In total, your outline should consist of major headings and bullet points and should be 200-500 words in length. Recall that your Final Project will be due in Week 8.
