MGT 437 Week 2 Project Proposal Paper and Presentation

Select a project as the basis for

your final project. The project may be one that applies to your work or your

personal life. Keep in mind that this project is used to explore the concepts

of project management.

Obtain faculty approval of your

selected project prior to beginning your assignment. Project characteristics

that work best include the following:

• A project

  that interests the Learning Team

• A project

  that requires multiple resources

• A project

  that is large enough in scope to apply the project management principles,

  yet limited enough in scope to be manageable for you within the next 4

  weeks. Examples of projects that have worked well are building a garage or

  planning a wedding.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word project

proposal. Include the following items in your proposal:

• Background

  and statement of need: Briefly describe the organization that is in need

  of the project. Discuss the expected benefits that are motivating the

  organization to commission this project.

• Project

  stakeholders: Start by identifying the project customer. This person

  approves resources for the project and holds your team accountable for

  results. Identify additional stakeholders of the project and determine how

  they are affected by the project.

• Project goals

  in terms of triple constraint: These are the measures that are used at the

  end of the project to judge the overall success or failure of the project.

• Time:

  Identify the completion date of the project.

• Budget: List

  the expenses and any other resource constraints for the project.

• Project

  performance: List the desired outputs from the project. Specify the

  performance criteria for the project.

• Project

  scope: A statement of work (SOW) must be developed to define what is and

  what is not included in the project.

• Summary: Your

  proposal summary must be presented to the project customer and demonstrate

  that the benefits from successful completion of the project justify the

  proposed costs.

Format your paper consistent with APA

guidelines.
