Select a Project and Create a Project Overview Statement It's now time to select a project to plan over the duration of this course. You will want the project to be something that you can work on throughout the semester. Your project must be original. Do not find a case study for a project that is already underway or completed. Students that have completed PMGT510 can use the same project that was used in that course. Selecting a project may seem either simplistic or overwhelming. For the purposes of the course, keep it simple! This guide will help you to select a project that should be able to be effectively planned throughout our course. It must be a project in which you have application knowledge It must be a project in which you will be able to gather information about resource requirements and estimates It must be a project that you are about to plan for, and that you have not started yet It should be an IT or Project Management related project; however, projects from other areas are acceptable It should be a project that you believe can be completed in two years or less It should be a project in which the human resources will not exceed 25 stakeholders Be sure that you project meets the four characteristics of a project Examples of possible projects include: Office relocation Software development New hardware deployment New Software Deployment User Training Migration to a new software PMO Development HelpDesk Development Infrastructure Upgrade SOX Compliance Also see page 28 in Chapter 1 of the Dynamic Scheduling with Microsoft Office Project 2013 text book for additional examples/ideas.
