Resources: Project Management, Ch. 2 & Ch. 4, and Microsoft^® Project

Select a fun, real-life project to collaboratively plan using project management principles. (Build a house is what the team chose)

Collaborate with your Learning Team to develop a project based on the topic your team selects and finalize the defining phase of the team project.

Prepare 3-4 slides presentation with speaker notes that illustrates the defining phase of project deliverables.

Include slides for the following elements in your presentation:

• Project overview
• Project scope statement
• Project charter (This is the only part that I need completed)
• WBS – work breakdown structure to three levels developed in Microsoft^® Project
• Communication matrix – See Figure 4.10 in Ch. 4 of Project Management.

Evaluate the following in the speaker notes:

• The project objectives and deliverables (using SMART methodology, as described in Ch. 2 of Project Management)
• The scope statement that the team finalized using the checklist in Ch. 4 of Project Management
• The charter that the team developed, and the specific responsibilities of each team member (Please generalize this. There are 5 people on the team)
• The work breakdown structure (WBS) that was developed, and an explanation of how the work will be distributed to the project team
• The key stakeholder groups and their project information needs, as outlined in the communication plan
• A justification as to why the specific stakeholders were chosen for the communication plan
