This assignment
consists of four (4) sections: a written project plan, a revised business
requirements document, a project plan PowerPoint presentation, and the
finalized project plan. You must submit the four (4) sections as separate files
for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the
section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and /
or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
While taking all
business and project parameters into consideration, make quality assumptions to
support the following requirements.
Section 1: Written
Project Plan
You are now in the
final stage of the project plan development. All previous documentation should
be combined into one (1) document that will serve as the statement of work for
the project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the executive team.
The project plan should be very detailed, which is appropriate to accomplish the
monumental task of implementation; however, the executive team is only
interested in a thirty (30) minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a
compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces
the executive team that it should move forward with your solution.
Develop a thirty to
forty (30-40) page project plan in which you:
·
Write a five to ten (5-10) page
executive summary in which you provide a high-level technical overview of your
project where you address the following:
1. Describe the
scope of the project and control measures.
2. Describe the
goals and objectives of the project.
3. Give a
detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the entire project,
including technical resources (human capital) that may be needed to complete
the project.
4. Relate the
value of the project plan solution to the competitive advantage that
information technology will afford the organization.
5. Provide all
aspects of the information technology implementation into the project plan.
6. Recommend solution
providers who can assist with development and implementation. Include a cost
analysis of at least three (3) providers.
·
Combine all previous
documentation for Project Deliverables 1-5 in which you:
1. Provide all
aspects of the information technology implementation into the project
plan.
2. Revise the
documentation based on feedback from the earlier evaluation of the deliverable.
·
Use at least five (5) quality
resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not
qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must
follow these formatting requirements:
·
Be typed, double spaced, using
Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations
and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor
for any additional instructions.
·
Include a cover page containing
the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the
course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not
included in the required assignment page length.
·
Include charts or diagrams
created in MS Visio and MS Project as appendix of the Word document. Make
reference of these files in the body of the Word document.
Section 2: Revised
Business Requirements Document
·
Document all revisions made to
the written project plan in the Document Control section of the business
requirements document from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements. Note:

Section 3: Project
Plan PowerPoint Presentation
·
Additional to your detailed
executive summary you must present your findings to the executive team and the
venture capital group that along with the executive summary will convince the
group that your solution is optimal.
·
Create a ten to fifteen (10-15)
slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
1. Illustrate the
concepts from the executive summary in Section 1 of this assignment.

section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious names,
data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a
realistic flow of communication.
3. Use a
professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.
Section 4: Finalized
