module_06_course_project.docxModule 06 Course Project - Prepare a Final Project Report
Using the template provided, prepare the final project report.
The final report should be at least 8-10 pages in length. Included in the final project report will be the following:
a. Executive summary
No more than one page!!!!!!
As a general rule-of-thumb, executive summaries should be written for your audience with the assumption that they are not interested in overly-technical details. I always include the following to make sure sponsors have all they need to track portfolio progress and departmental budgets.
Percentage of Budget Spent Having an accurate estimate of how far along a project is in spending the total allocated budget is important. It will help you as manager to target spending so that you can come in at or under budget at go-live.
Percentage of Work Completed This figure compared to the dollars spent over total budget percentage in #1 helps executives accurately gauge the total health of your project. For example, a project that has completed 25% of work but that has spent 75% of their budget is spending too much and action should be taken to correct it.
Next Major Milestones Sponsors will likely be keen to know upcoming outputs of your project. Has design or build been completed? Is testing soon to be finished? These updates give a high-level view of project progress and are required for all to keep an eye on your progress.
Outstanding Issues Finally, major issues that could potentially affect project budget, contracts, or schedules should be communicated upward along with a clear plan for resolution. And don’t worry -- issues are not all bad and every project has them. An understanding of what it will take to manage them is much more important.
b. Project background / project overview
c. Major Activities / Milestones
d. Project Closure synopsis
e. Project metrics Performance
f. Project Management Issues
I am not expecting 8-10 pages of new content. Much of your content can be brought over from previous week’s work. Much of this week’s work will be consolidating or merging from previous weeks. Note: INCLUDE THE 4TH AND 5TH UNEXPECTED EVENTS IN YOUR MILESTONES AND OTHER AREAS.
You can be creative in your assumptions.
ALTHOUGTH THE TEMPLATE HAS SECTION HEADERS, I EXPECT SUB HEADERS AS WELL.
REVIEW THE GRADING RUBRICS AND MAKE ANY CHANGES TO PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS IF HAVEN’T ALREADY DONE SO WITH MY TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS.
Suggested input- Wk. 1 Memo, SOW, Project Background/Overview
New content- Project Accomplishments, funding, completion date.
