Summative Assessment: Organize a Project

This assignment is intended to help you use leadership skills to gather project members from cross-functional departments and skill sets and lead them in the fulfillment and implementation of a mock project.

Discover the various responsibilities of a project manager by organizing a project. See Chapter 19, sections 19.9 and Cases. 

Apply project management tools and a PM outline type of your choice to structure and plan the project by defining, planning, and controlling. The project will be a continuation of how to improve the process you chose in Weeks 1 and 2.

• Project description
• Project Management Charts (Critical Path, Gant Chart, etc.)
• Improved Process Flowchart from Week 1
• Meeting cadence/rhythm and timing
• Metrics to measure the project’s success
