The BUSI 681 Week 6 method, step by step
Start from the need
Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.
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.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (Gray and Larson and project research).
Plan the resources and timeline
List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.
Plan the evaluation
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Follow the required template or headings and check length (Not set in the guide; the four required documents) and APA.
Start the proposal with a measurable objective (scope, time, cost), then list deliverables that become Part 2's work breakdown. Use a RACI format for the responsibility matrix, a probability-impact grid for risks, and a table for communication (stakeholder, information, method, frequency, owner).
A structure for BUSI 681 Week 6 Case Study: Project Model Part 1
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,400 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Project proposal | Purpose, scope, objectives, deliverables, budget and timeline. | ~390 words |
| Responsibility matrix | Who is responsible, accountable, consulted and informed. | ~340 words |
| Risk assessment matrix | Risks rated by probability and impact, with responses. | ~360 words |
| Communication plan | What each stakeholder receives, how and when. | ~310 words |
A topic angle that works
These documents are the planning backbone the course has covered: scope and objectives, responsibilities, risk and communication. Make them specific to your project so Part 2 can build the schedule directly from them.
Model paragraph with notes

Stakeholder: clinic physicians. Information needed: opening date, equipment readiness, scheduling go-live. Method: 15-minute update at the monthly physician meeting and an email summary. Frequency: monthly until the final month, then weekly. Owner: project manager.
