Order 1369114: PROJECT MANAGMENT

The Signature Assignment provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of the principles covered in this course and to apply what you have learned to a project of your choice. 

The project you choose should ideally be from a past, present, or future work situation. If this is not feasible, choose a project you would like to do that will allow you to demonstrate all the tools and principles covered. You may choose a large project and use a sub-project within it for this assignment.

Extra points are given for creativity and for projects that demonstrate your understanding of the total project management information system. Some “doctoring” of your project may be necessary to allow you to demonstrate use of the tools. The paper should follow the processes outlined in the class materials.
