Purpose
In this Assignment you will update your Project Task Tracking document and continue to develop your Final Project.
You will also create a PowerPoint Presentation of the first draft of your final Product / Solution to be used at the main “Product Review Meeting.” These are usually held when the product is at the 60 – 70% stage. Attach your completed Task Tracking spreadsheet (zip both documents together for drop box submission).
Assignment Instructions
- Update and submit your WBS / Schedule to include newly identified tasks, completed tasks and tasks that are behind or otherwise “at issue.”
- Create and submit a PowerPoint Presentation of the first draft of your final Product / Solution to be used at the main “Product Review Meeting.”
- Create and submit a five minute voice recording of an introduction to your Product Review Meeting. Alternatively, create a three full page script of what you would say as you proceed through the slides in a live presentation
For this assignment you will present a Product Review to all project stakeholders. The purpose of the review is to present a first look at the actual product you are developing. Your product is “in development,” but major design work has been completed. Stakeholders are already aware of the project status since you have been keeping everyone updated. They are excited to see the actual results of the PRODUCT. It is anticipated that they will have questions, suggestions and possible enhancements.
Zip your updated and more detailed WBS / Schedule / Task Tracking document, presentation document and recording or script (zip all for drop box submission).
Note – When your slide deck is complete, post it as an attachment to the Unit 8 Discussion Board. Please comment on some of your classmates’ presentations at that time. Feedback is important for quality results. Your classmates are excited to see the actual results. It is anticipated that they will have questions, suggestions, or possible enhancements.
Plan what you will say to everyone attending to set the tone, purpose, and agenda for the meeting. If you are unfamiliar with recording software for your PC, research appropriate solutions. There are several available, but windows Media Player is standard on most Windows operating systems and provides a good choice.
Assignment Requirements
The project documents are shown to and referenced at the highest level of the organization. In order for your project to be successful, these documents will need to be formatted in a business professional manner. They will be complete, consistent, clear, and concise.
