Week 7
Predictions, Outcomes, and Variables
Develop your project predictions and desired outcomes
portion of your paper using the following as starting points:
Describe the desired outcomes: Specifically, state the
purpose, focus, and viewpoint of the project as well as its expected
accomplishments. While you may not be implementing your project, you should
have a goal in mind that relates to solving your problem.
A project goal should reference the project’s benefits in
terms of cost, time, and/or quality that address needs or changes, results,
impacts, or consequences that the project has on people, programs, or
institutions.
Goals and objectives should be measurable, shared, and
hypothetically agreed on by all key stakeholders. They are directly linked to
the concept of project success factors.
What variables need to be considered and would you have
control over them? For example, if you were to implement a department wide
system change, would budget be an issue and how would you address that
variable?
If you were to implement your study, how would you gather
data? Would the focus be qualitative or quantitative?
What will your research provide to the community or to
social change?
In the statistical sense, what is already known about your
problem? Cite evidence from your literature review.
Compose a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the intended
outcomes of your project.
