Throughout
this course, you will be working on developing several components of
the procedures manual and supporting documents, such as a brochure, a
proposal to a potential project sponsor to develop the procedures
manual, and PowerPoint training. Additional information and the
deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the
assignment description for this project.
In
this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outline
of the sections that will be included in the procedures manual as
well as a draft of a proposal to submit to both your instructor and a
potential project sponsor. The other information you will include is
a high-level description of the business process or set of procedures
and the intended audience for the manual.
You
will also be setting up the foundation of the procedures manual
documentation outline that you will add to each week.
Project
Selection :
Creation
of a website with videos to demonstrate that deforestation is bad for
the ecosystem.
The
first step will be to select a process or set of procedures for which
a manual does not exist today. You will then outline the sections of
the manual. This project will be used as the basis for each of the
assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following
guidelines:
-
Nontrivial:
The
selected business process or set of procedures should reflect a
real-life application. -
Domain
knowledge: Students
will be applying knowledge of this process or set of procedures to
determine the contents of the manual.
Select
a process or set of procedures that fit these requirements, and
submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further
with the assignments in the course. Keep in mind that this is a draft
of a proposal that you could later send to a project sponsor.
Approval should be sought within the first few days of the course.
Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what
notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment
Your
first task in this process will be to select a process or set of
