As a culminating project, this assignment has two parts: a project plan created in either MS Project (PC) or Apple Merlin (MAC) due in Topic 7 and an executive summary due in Topic 8. Those experiencing problems with Project software may complete this portion of the assignment in Excel. Use prior course information and data gathered for your CLC Business Plan to complete this assignment.
Examine the business plan you created with your CLC group and determine the distinct goals, timelines, and resources necessary to put the plan into effect. The steps required for the implementation of the business plan are referred to as a project plan.
The business plan is a CHP for a mobile breast cancer screening station or Mammo-van.
Write a project plan in Microsoft Project or Apple Merlin. Excel may be substituted as needed. In your project plan:
- Identify the tasks needed to complete the project.
- Develop a completion schedule.
- Assign resources to project tasks. Be creative. For example: If your plan calls for three nurses, you will need to plan for hiring and training. Create realistic timelines for each activity. They could be very general (2 weeks to hire, 2 weeks to train) or they could dive much deeper (1 week to write hiring ad, 1 week to place the ad, 2 weeks to accept applications, 1 week to review, 3 weeks for interviews, 1 week for offer letters, 2 weeks to establish in the HR system, etc.).
Complete these steps for each major component of the business plan. Your project plan should be specific, detailed, and thorough.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
