This week’s assignment will require submission of your draft Project Management Plan. To earn full credit for this assignment, the following specific information should be at least 50% complete.

This submission is a draft copy and a living document, as it would be for a viable Project. I am looking for comprehension of task requirements, artifact generation, and project management skills.

The submission must be completed on the supplied template – the Project Management Plan template:

Project Management Plan Template – 20.doc

In addition, while creating the document:

• Read and delete all instructions
• Review and implement the comments from past artifact submissions
• Align the data from past artifact submissions into this project management plan
• Do not modify the templates
• Be specific
• Do not be vague; be precise in your verbiage; focus your language
• Explain how you will manage the project
• Requirements state the “what” and are not to state the “why” or “how”
• Requirements should include “shall”, not “will” or “should”
• Review the requirement information in the course and text content
• Every artifact is a formal document; do not use the words “we”, “our”, “you”, “they”, etc 
  • Instead use “The project team”, “The business owner”, etc
• Define all acronyms on their first use
• Attach (imbed) all attachments in Reference B section of the document 
  • Do not state the “attachments are located on the SharePoint”
  • These documents should be standalone documents
• Deliverables are outputs of the project, or phase, or process 
  • They are what you are working towards in your project
• Mitigation strategies are how you will manage the risks
• The font and formatting needs to be consistent through the document; this includes capitalization, grammar, etc
• Stakeholders are anyone who has or will be impacted by the project in any way
• Use spell check before submission
