 SCENARIO: You represent your company at a service organization dealing with one of these two issues:

• Facing Economic Change
• Engaging Civil Rights

Your supervisor asked you to research information related to the history of one of these issues for your organization to help new employees and volunteers understand it better. You will need to create a slide presentation that summarizes your findings and recommendations.

ASSIGNMENT: Back in Unit 2, you chose your issue and your sources and used the critical thinking process to begin to formulate an argument about your topic. Now you will refine your argument and create a slide presentation that’s due at the end of Unit 3.

PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS: Your presentation must be 7–11 slides long, not including the title and sources slides. It must include the following slides:

• title
• outline
• topic
• evidence (4–8 slides with both text and images)
• argument (making connections between past and present)
• sources

If you’ve never used a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides before, don’t worry! The assignment template below will help you create slides for a basic slide presentation. Then you’ll be able to practice using the presentation technology as you put the finishing touches on your presentation. You can also refer back to the Unit 3 lessons that provide support for creating a solid slide presentation.

Week 10 Assignment – Project Proposal: Execution, Control, and Closure

Overview

Note: This is the third of three  assignments that, as a whole, cover all aspects of the project life  cycle relevant to your selected project. Now, it is time for you to discuss your  project’s challenges (e.g., risks), performance management plan (e.g.,  earned value management), and proposed plan for closing the project when  it is done. 

Instructions

Write a 4–6 page paper in which you  define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen  project. In your paper you must: 

1. Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the  project’s greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations. The plan  should also include rationale for why the selected challenges are the  greatest challenges and why the chosen mitigation recommendations  were made.
2. Provide specific and detailed information on how you will measure  project performance. Define how the project will be measured and include  at least three key EVM metrics that will be used to determine progress  and performance success. This should also include rationale on why those  specific metrics were chosen.  
3. Create a plan for closing the project properly that includes  details on how that closure will be coordinated with any necessary  stakeholders.
4. Create a performance evaluation to measure project effectiveness that includes scope, cost, time, and quality.
5. Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources  that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed  on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help  with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
