Wk 2 Learning Activity

  

In Week 1, you conceptualized a project to work through (on paper) during this course. Now it is time to add more details by expanding and defining the scope of the project you chose earlier.
Prior to beginning work on this learning activity, review the Weekly Lecture and the assigned page ranges in Chapters 2, 3, and 4 in your textbook. This week’s lecture will provide examples and additional information on this learning activity.
Working through this assignment will give you a glimpse of the initial planning stage of project management. At the beginning of the planning stage, the project manager defines the project scope statement and starts defining key details of the project. In this case, you, as a project manager, will present this information to the project sponsor. This week you will be completing a project scope for your chosen project and present it to the class where your classmates will act as the project sponsor and review your work.

Download the PRM300 Week 2 Project Scope Form Template.

Then attach the completed template to your discussion post.

In Section 1: Project Overview, identify the project name, project manager (you), and the project scope statement. Feel free to refer to the example: PRM300 Week 2 Project Scope Form Sample.
Complete Section 2: Project Details; summarize the work breakdown structure, assumptions, stakeholders, time, and cost estimates, and list your milestones.

Attach your completed Project Scope document to the discussion thread. Make sure your document stands on its own so your classmates and the instructor can clearly understand your project and its components.
