Proposition: plan an event.
Why: In reading over Section 3.1 (p. 73) of our textbook on Project Selection, some key things stood out that I think are pinnacle to our individual and group success of the Group Project:
1.) Realism – what is the goal of every student in this group for this class and for DeVry: to get a good grade. Therefore, we need to have a broad project that does not exclude anyone from contributing 100% of themselves.
2.) Ease-of-Use – the project must be simple enough to be used and understood by all the participants of the group. Also, we are all busy and so it must be easy enough to complete in the few hours each week we each have to offer to the group.
3.) Comparability – “the model must be broad enough to be applied to multiple projects.” We all will need to do project planning in our futures, so we need to have a project that we can all get benefit from.
With that said, the team collaboratively chose to plan an event. Each of us have experience planning events to some degree, whether it’s for business or personal life including: birthday parties, weddings, or business meetings. Team C unanimously agreed to this project due to the fact that it’s relatable and gives everyone fair opportunities to contribute based on experience and diligent.
Project Outline:
Our team project is to plan a large charity event for “hurricane relief” on behalf of the American Red Cross. In this project, the team will provide all the components of a large-scale conference including: presenters, silent auction, catering, vendors, and a special guest-speaker. We
anticipate
tasks to be within budget such as venue, select vendors, volunteers, furniture, and advertisement.
