Project Management

Project Proposal Instructions:

Submit a proposal for a project on which you will develop a plan. Later on, The first draft plan for the proposed project will be submitted and then again as a final plan at the end of the course.  The proposal should:

1. address how the project meets the criteria specified (I have copied criteria down) ,

2. include a description and purpose of the project,

3. list the proposed participants,

4. an estimate of the required resources, and

5. list the project deliverables (those items that you plan to produce for the client or customer). Note:  the deliverables are not the plan; they are what you plan to produce.

6. Provide a preliminary WBS for the project.

Procedure and Criteria

1. Pick a potential project of interest.

2. The project must meet the following criteria:

· A job or problem with multiple and sequential tasks

5. Update the project plan as you gain more information during the course

6. Develop the final project plan 2 by the last week of the course and submit via Blackboard
