Project-Management

1. Project Selection

You will select a project. You will use this project description as the basis for all work in the course from scoping it, to developing tasks, developing a schedule, assigning resources, and developing a budget. It should be one with which you have some topical familiarity that you hope to be doing on the job, or one that is of personal interest to you.

2. Scope Statement

Complete the attached Scope Statement template. Remember, this is about your selected project. It is not a quiz about what these elements are. Use this form as the first step in your project planning. Some things to keep in mind:

1. Deliverables are things – they are expressed as nouns
2. Constraints limit your ability to plan
3. Assumptions are expressions of items, resources, materials, etc. that will be either provided to you outside your need to plan or purchase. They can also be expressions of the choices made by stakeholders (such as a particular version of software, etc).
