Term Project Topic

This activity will enable you to apply what you will learn during this course. You will complete a term project that requires you to define the scope of a project, project charter, project plan, budget, and project schedule. You will also undertake a risk analysis for this project. Use the models in the textbook as examples to complete a detailed document for each assignment.

This term project is broken down into various parts, which are due throughout the course. You will use all comments provided from the instructor, as well as feedback and learning from the discussion board, to complete a final integrated plan, which includes the individual assignments. The final product is due in Module 7.

Project management tools such as Microsoft Project would be useful as you work on different milestones of the term project. You will be able to download the full version of MS Project as part of the MSDN Academic Alliance (also known as DreamSpark). You will receive an email with details about this software within the first two weeks of the course. If you are MacOS or Linux users there are many open source, platform independent PM tools such as ProjectLibre (https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/) available to download.
