For this class, you will be analyzing a project. You may select a project that you have worked on in the past, or you may make up a fictitious project. Another choice is to Google for failed projects and then develop a plan that would have helped the project succeed. In most cases, you will need to develop a plan for a ground based team to successfully complete the project; and at the same time, you will develop a plan for a virtual team to successfully complete the project.
As you know, each type of project will face its own challenges and as you develop your plan for project success, you need to address the differences in the projects. You do not have to use the same project from week to week, but you may find it helpful to do so. If you decide to change projects, each week, you will need to explain to your instructor an overview of the project.
This week, you will develop two responsibility matrices. First, you will develop a responsibility assignment matrix for an on-ground team. Then, create a responsibility assignment matrix for a virtual team. Click here for the template to complete this part of the assignment. Then complete the HR management template for each team. Be sure you identify which plan is for which team. Click here for the template to complete this part of the assignment. After you have completed the 4 templates, write a paper about your experience in completing them. First, give an overview of the project itself. Then, explain any difficulties you had and how you applied the concepts you learned in the readings to plan a project that will succeed.
