This project is in two parts. Both parts of the project are due Week 5. The following deliverables are due for this project.
- Part 1: A six- to eight-page paper exploring an advanced project management topic is due. This topic will need to be approved by your professor by the end of Week 2.
- Part 2: A four- to six-page paper exploring how the above advanced project management topic will impact project management as a profession over the next 5 years is also due.
Below are best practices in preparing this paper.
- Cover page:Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it, and the date.
- Table of contents:List the main ideas and sections of the paper and the pages where they are located. Illustrations should be included separately.
- Introduction:Use a header on your paper. This will indicate that you are introducing the paper.
The purpose of an introduction or opening is to
- Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview of what you will cover and the importance of the material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer in each assignment.)
- Body of the report:Use a header with the name of the project. An example is, “The Development of Hotel X: A World-Class Resort.” Proceed to break out the main ideas. State the main ideas and the major points of each idea, and provide evidence. Show some type of division, such as separate, labeled sections; separate groups of paragraphs; or headers. Include the information you found during your research and investigation.
- Summary and conclusion:Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and the major support points from the body of the report; minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the subject.
- Work cited:Use the citation format specified in the Syllabus.
