The MGMT 625 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
Write objectives that name the audience, the behavior or outcome, the level and the time frame.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (Your project management plan and the PMBOK Guide).
Plan the resources and timeline
Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.
Plan the evaluation
Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.
Format and length
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within 1 to 2 pages, in current APA.
Check the 100% rule at each level: the children of every element must add up to all of its work. If you choose a Gantt chart instead, show WBS numbering in the task list and dependencies in the bars.
