Project Deliverable 6: Project Plan This assignment consists of three (4) sections: a written project plan, revised business requirements document, project plan PowerPoint presentation, and a finalized project plan. You must submit the four (4) sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment. While taking all business and project parameters into consideration, make quality assumptions to support the following requirements. Section 1: Written Project Plan You are now in the final stage of the project plan 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 project approved by the executive team. The project plan should be very detailed, which is designed to accomplish the monumental task of implementation; however, the executive team is only interested in a 30-minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces the executive team that they should move forward with your solution.

1. Develop a thirty to forty (30-40) page project plan in which you:

· Write a five to ten (5-10) page executive summary that provides a high-level technical overview of your project in which you:

. Describe the scope of the project and control measures.

. Describe the goals and objectives of the project.

. Include a high-level overview of all project deliverables.

. Give a detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the entire project, including human capital.

. Relate the value of the project plan solution to the competitive advantage that information technology will afford your organization.

. Recommend solution providers who can assist with development and implementation.

· Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1-5 in which you:Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

. Provide all aspects of the information technology implementation into the project plan.

. Revise the documentation based on feedback from the earlier evaluation of your deliverable.

Section 1 of this assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

· This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow SWS or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

· Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the project plan. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the project plan.

Section 2: Revised Business Requirements Document

2. Document all revisions made to the written project plan in the Document Control section of the business requirements document from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirement. Note: This documentation must outline the revisions made to the previous deliverables required in Section 1: Written Project Plan.

Section 3: Project Plan PowerPoint Presentation Additional to your detailed executive summary you must present your findings to the executive team and the venture capital group that along with the executive summary will convince the group that your solution is optimal.

3. Create a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

· Illustrate the concepts from your executive summary in Section 1 of this assignment.

· Create bulleted speaking notes for your presentation to the executive board in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication.

· Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.

Section 4: Finalized Project Plan Use Microsoft project to:

4. Finalize your project plan from Project Deliverable 5: Infrastructure and Security to include all necessary changes in assumptions, tasks, and / or subtasks.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Develop information systems-related activities to maximize the business value within and outside the organization.

· Demonstrate an understanding of existing and emerging information technologies, the functions of IS, and its impact on the organizational operations.

· Evaluate the issues and challenges associated with information systems integration.

· Use technology and information resources to research issues in information systems.

· Write clearly and concisely about strategic issues and practices in the information systems domain using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Assignment 3b: Analysis on the Threats Defense Argument

The information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.

Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.

Step I. Consider the Issues

In Assignment 3a, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided in the table below.

Energy sources	Civil war
Globalization	Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities	Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology	Climate change

There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:

· Review the remaining four threats that you did not use in Assignment 3a.

· Pick two of the four to focus on in Assignment 3b.

· Identify the reasons why you think these two threats are less critical than the four threats you chose for your PowerPoint presentation.

Step II. Prepare Your Report

The UN has given you the following guidelines.

Introduction

Briefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words).

a. State the topic and intent of the paper.

b. Identify the four threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.

Section I. Threat 1

a. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.

b. Write one page giving three reasons that explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a.

c. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

Section II. Threat 2

a. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.

b. Write one page giving three reasons to explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a.

c. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

Conclusion

· Offer a summary (one page or less) of your defense of your choices that the United Nations can use to address their prioritization concerns.

Formatting Requirements

· Your paper may consist of up to four pages (not including the cover or reference pages).

· Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:

. Introduction

. Threat 1 (include the name of your chosen threat)

. Threat 2 (include the name of your chosen threat)

. Conclusion

· Use and cite four to six credible sources in your analysis. You may use the same source for more than one threat as long as you use a minimum of four different sources. A list of potential resources is available at the end of this course guide.

· Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines; refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference.

· Include a cover page with your name, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor's name.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:

· Examine the factors that account for why the growth in the world’s population can negatively affect the global society.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric:
