The BUSI 415 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (The course textbook and at least 1 scholarly research article).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.

  6. Format and length

    Follow the required template or headings and check length (Not set in the guide; follow PMBOK guidelines and the instructions) and APA.

Define the probability and impact scales first so scores are consistent, then rank risks by score and focus responses on the highest.
