Final Project: Best Practices Guide

Students will create a Best Practices Guide for future employees holding their position and working on the same or a similar project. Creativity is encouraged and the format, tone, graphic design, and other details of your guide should reflect the personality of your partner company and the type of project you worked on. The guide will integrate a summary of the current project from its inception to completion with a guide that can be used by for companies to potentially replicate the project or projects like it in the future.

You should be creating one of two types of guides:

1) Guide for future employees of your partner company who will be doing the same project. 2) Guide for people who will do similar projects for other companies

Your guide must include all of the following components:

1) Background on the project—please be sure your project's purpose, what the original goals were, how you identified timeline/metrics, and a summary of what the timeline/metrics were

2) Company/industry Information and/or Other Relevant Companies/Industries—Tell us about your partner company, why the project worked for your company (or why it would need to be changed going forward) and other companies/industries where your project would be relevant

3) "How-To's" and "Best Practices"—Include a guide for someone else doing this or a similar project. Include important how-to steps and instructional information as well as best practices you've learned from going through the project.

There are no strict font/format guidelines for this assignment, however it must have a cover page and be 4-6 pages in length (at least 4 pages of text content).
