CMGT 410 WEEK 1 ASSIGNMENT 1

Individual: Project Proposal

Consider the following scenario:

You have been hired by a large company with branch offices around the country to assist with rollout
of a new companywide compliance system.

While initially the focus was on implementation of the technology, it was found that success will
require at least 10 hours of training for all managers across the country on both the use of the new
platform as well as a host of new compliance policies being introduced.
Of the options discussed, it was generally agreed than the training should be hands-on and
conducted in person at a central location. This will obviously require getting organizational buy in as
not all managers are going to be willing to commit to taking time out from their normal responsibilities
just for some training.

In addition, such large scale centralized training has not been done before by this company;
therefore, the CEO wants feedback from participants to evaluate the effectiveness of any training
sessions.

As a result, your manager has given you the responsibility to develop an outline for a proposed
project that would meet this upcoming need.

Submit a 2- to 3-page memo that does the following:

Names the project

Briefly describes the project

Identifies potential stakeholders directly or indirectly involved

Specifies the overall objective and any outcomes for this project

Details how success will be evaluated

Highlights what is needed to ascertain the measurable organizational value (MOV) of this project.

You will need to make some assumptions (it is even encouraged) but the assumptions must be
documented.

Individual: Project Task-List


You have been tasked with the project of organizing a company offsite 2-day training session in
which people are brought in from different parts of the country. This entails everything from
preparation, accommodations, and facilities.

Submit a 2- to 3-page executive memo summarizing the project's objective, any scoping boundaries
used to define the project, and relevant facts about the tasks or resources.

Identify all related tasks and resources needed to complete this project.

Highlight or specify any measurable deliverables relating to your project.

Attach a task list with assigned resources from a Microsoft® Project file that supports what you have
outlined in your memo.

Individual: Project Budget

The project for the company offsite 2-day training session has been given a preliminary go-ahead.
However a budget needs to be submitted for approval.

Write a 2- to 3-page memo explaining the financial implications of your project that does the
following:

Adds costs estimates to your resources (both labor and material) – Refer to websites like the
United States Department of Labor for estimates.

Adds estimates for all task duration and sequencing of tasks (including precedence relations)

Summarizes any relevant facts about the project duration, number or type of resources, critical
task sequencing, and how duration estimates were arrived at

Highlights if there are any milestones for your project


Include a Microsoft® Project Gantt chart, as an attachment, showing the WBS of tasks (with
dependencies) and task sequences, along with any budget or cost reports to support your memo.

Individual: Project Controls

The company offsite 2-day training session project is about ready to enter the execution phase.
However, management has a history of being surprised with projects that finished over-budget, did
not adhere to the timeline, evinced waste of resources, or did not meet expectations.

Address your strategy for the following in a 2- to 3-page memo to gain their confidence in your
project management abilities:

Analyze and report unplanned changes

Evaluate project quality

Procedures you plan to implement for handling change control issues

How you plan to communicate whether the project is meeting any stated performance and quality
objectives

Individual: Project Postmortem

Now that the company offsite 2-day training session project is over, conduct a postmortem review.
Submit a 1- to 2-page memo that does the following:

Details the benefits and drawbacks of a postmortem review

Lists who should partake in this meeting,

Indicates what you hope to discover at the conclusion
