PJM6125 Project Evaluation:

Stakeholder Analysis & Evaluation Goal Matrix

Overview and Rationale

For this assignment, you will establish some evaluation goals for your project based on the method and lens covered in this week’s lecture.

Program and Course Outcomes

This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course syllabus:

LO1: Identify and analyze stakeholders associated with performance evaluation.

LO2: Design an evaluation goals matrix incorporating the differences between impact, efficiency, and effectiveness

LO6: Compare change management procedures needed to respond to the results of both tactical and non-tactical performance evaluation

L07: Plan and conduct a tactical evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative measures

Essential Components & Instructions

This assignment is completed in two parts. First, using your chosen project that you submitted as part of Lesson 1, complete the following items:

Stakeholder Register / Analysis:

· Create a stakeholder register / analysis that includes the following minimum columns:

· Stakeholder

· Stakeholder Position / Role

· Type of Stakeholder (internal or external)

· Stakeholder expectation (high level needs or expectations of project)

· Stakeholder interest (high / medium / low)

· Stakeholder influence level (high / medium / low)

· Stakeholder view of project (supportive / neutral / opposed)

· Stakeholder Management strategy (approach to engaging stakeholder to support success of project)

· Once you create the register, create entries for a minimum of 12 - 15 project stakeholders, performing a full analysis for each of them.

Part 2: Evaluation Goals Matrix:

After completing the stakeholder register, you will create an evaluation goals matrix, as illustrated in Lesson 2, with an additional column entitled stakeholder. Once you have designed the evaluation goal matrix, you will need to list at least four evaluation goals for each category: efficiency, effectiveness, and impact, which will result in a total of 12 metrics / goals.

You will be assess on the clarity of the metrics, the concreteness of the measures (Example: increased performance by 12 percent (concrete) vs. increase performance (not concrete, as no specific measurement of increase)), and how well the metric will measure the success of project relative to the overview of the project you provided as a case study.

Format

Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow in all three elements of this assignment. Think of this short list as a quality control checklist, along with the attached grading rubric.

· Part 1 and Part 2 (stakeholder analysis and evaluation matrix) should be submitted as a single file (MsWord or .pdf)

· You should include a cover page

· You should format the documents professionally

· The tables should be readable without having to zoom in on small text

· You should follow the formats given in the lesson and referenced above, plus the additional column requested

· You should include the appropriate number of evaluation goals and metrics from each category

Please be sure to review the attached rubric. It along with these assignment instructions will ensure you have a solid understanding of the assignment requirements.

Rubric(s)

Assessment Element	Above Standard (100-95%)	Meets Standards (94.9 – 84%)	Approaching Standards (83.9 – 77%)	Below Standard (76.9 – 70%)	Not Evident (69.9 – 0%)
Evaluation Matrix (35%)	The evaluation goal matrix includes a total of 12 goals, with a minimum of three goals from each category, and each goal is concretely identified. Additionally, the evaluation goals introduced show a high degree of understanding and relevance to the project.	The evaluation goal matrix includes a total of 12 goals, with a minimum of three goals from each category, and each goal is concretely identified. Each goal is relevant to the project	The evaluation goal matrix includes a total of 12 goals, with a minimum of three goals from each category, and not all goals are concretely specified. Each goal is vaguely relevant to the project	The evaluation goal matrix includes a total of 12 goals, but without an equal distribution between the categories and/or not all goals are concretely specified or not relevant to the project.	The evaluation goal matrix either does not provide a sufficient number of goals or an appropriate number by distribution between the various categories. Goals do not appear to be relevant to the project
Stakeholder Register (35%)	Stakeholder register includes all required columns and provides a full analysis of more than 15 stakeholders with particular attention given to managing each in light of their performance related concerns.	Stakeholder register includes all required columns and provides a full analysis of 12 – 15 stakeholders with particular attention given to managing each in light of their performance related concerns.	Stakeholder register includes all required columns and provides a full analysis of 12 – 15 stakeholders but does not give particular attention to managing each in light of their performance related concerns.	Stakeholder register includes all required columns but does not provide a full and substantial analysis of 12 – 15 stakeholders.	The submission fails in a significant manner to capture relevant stakeholders and analyze them in a comprehensive manner
Critical Thinking (15%)	Professional insights into depth and breadth of assignment - goes WELL beyond assignment requirements to explore performance evaluation and appropriate stakeholders and evaluation goals.	Showcases a comprehensive understanding of the performance issues related to the project environment and evidences a strong analysis of the case through the design of the matrix and stakeholder register.	Showcases a base understanding of the performance issues related to the project environment and evidences a less than thorough analysis of the case through the design of the matrix and stakeholder register.	Does not evidence a base understanding of the performance issues related to the project environment and evidences a weak analysis of the case through the design of the matrix and stakeholder register.	Evidences a very poor understanding of the relevant stakeholders and/or the performance goals that are relevant to the project.
Grammar & Clarity (15%)	All work grammatically correct with no misspellings or grammatical mistakes. Expresses ideas and opinions clearly and concisely in a manner appropriate to the assignment.	All work grammatically correct with rare misspellings.	Minimal errors in spelling, grammar, sentence structure and/or other writing conventions but the reader is able to understand what the writer meant.	Frequent errors in spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and/or other writing conventions that distract the reader.	Writing contains numerous errors in spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc. that interfere with comprehension. The reader is unable to understand some of the intended meaning.
