Throughout the duration of this course, you will be developing a project plan to present to your stakeholders. In order to make this a meaningful course, it is important that you select a project that aligns with your current work situation or a potential future work environment of interest to you. Please use the definition of a project outlined in Section 1.1 of your textbook to help select your project. You might also want to read through the directions for the assignments in Units III, V, and VI to make sure that you will be able to supply the necessary information for each unit assignment; each of these assignments will be a part of your final project plan that you will submit in Unit VII. In Unit VII, you will formulate a PowerPoint in which you will present your project plan to your stakeholders based on your work from earlier units.
