MGMT-404 Project Management - Course project on "Opening a Coffee Shop"

Course Project

Objectives | Guidelines | Milestones | Deliverables | Grading Rubrics

The objective of the course project is to give you an opportunity to practice the skills learned in class regarding the planning methodologies of a project. These skills are directly applicable toward your senior project.

For this project you may choose one that is of interest to you, or you may choose to begin planning for your senior project. When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small).

Some successful project ideas:

• The opening of a coffee shop
• An open house for a local social service agency
• A meditation pool and platform
• A redevelopment of a local playground
• Design and installation of a computer network for a small business
• Software development project

A project to build a house is NOT acceptable.
