15 Jun  We will be utilizing Microsoft® Project ® to create our Work B

 We will be utilizing Microsoft® Project ® to create our Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) in Week 3, and will continue to use this software for a method to control the project schedule, costs, and resources. However, many other software tools are in the market to help with the management process of a project including the control of the schedule, resources, and costs. You are to find another project management tool other than Microsoft Project and research the tool. Then you will prepare a PowerPoint® presentation with your recorded voice that reflects your research and adequately compares and contrast the tool with Microsoft® Project ®. You will conclude with your appraisal of the software along with your recommendation to keep Microsoft® Project ® or use the researched tool. Provide solid reasons for your conclusion and include a resources slide or frame at the end. You will need to set the voice playback (sound) and the slide transitions to automatic in PowerPoint®. You may wish to convert the presentation to a MP4 video. Either you will submit the PowerPoint® presentation with automatic slide transitions and sound playback, or you will submit the converted video this week. Canvas will automatically assign you two other students’ video or PowerPoint® presentation to complete the peer reviews in the next week.Reminder: You should use at least two scholarly resources to validate your presentation and present all resources in a slide or frame near the end of your presentation. This listing should be in APA format.This assignment is a signature assignment, as you will utilize a digitized and dynamic method of communicating your research results with an open mindedness towards adaptability towards change and evaluating such change with the expectation of receiving feedback from your peers (people). This assignment will present you into a role in investigating new innovative processes and specializing in how it compares and contrasts to the current known processes. It will help address the ability to investigate adaptive systems to respond to the dynamic needs of an organization for the management of strategic projects (process and data). Finally, you will utilize technology and systems to communicate from your location to the location of others that is necessary for a globalize business world (devices). PROJ586.WK2.Signature.Assignment-1_NOV18PROJ586.WK2.Signature.Assignment-1_NOV18CriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeResearchConducted Research and found another tool besides Microsoft Project that can be utilized to manage and control projects.10.0 to >8.9 ptsExcellentStudent research and discovered at least three alternatives that are tools that could be utilized instead of Microsoft Project and then identify one that they will compare/contrast with Microsoft Project.8.9 to >6.9 ptsCompetentStudent research and discovered at least two alternatives that are tools that could be utilized instead of Microsoft Project and then identify one that they will compare/contrast with Microsoft Project.6.9 to >3.9 ptsFairStudent research and discovered at least two alternatives that are tools that could be utilized instead of Microsoft Project but failed to identify one that they will compare/contrast with Microsoft Project.3.9 to >0.9 ptsPoorStudent research and discovered only one alternatives that are tools that could be utilized instead of Microsoft Project that they will compare/contrast with Microsoft Project.0.9 to >0 ptsNo Marks10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomePresentationThe presentation adequately compares and contrast the tool with Microsoft Project.40.0 to >34.9 ptsExcellentThrough synthesis and analysis, the student fully shows the comparisons and contrast of the selected tool with Microsoft Project in how each tool helps with the management process of a project including the creation of the WBS and overall control of the schedule, resources, and costs.
