How MGMT 651 Week 4 Agile Project Plan Outline is graded
Liberty grades Agile Project Plan Outline with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in MGMT 651 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
An outline that names sources under its points earns more useful feedback than headings alone.
The MGMT 651 Week 4 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
Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (Gido and agile literature).
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
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within 1 to 2 pages, in current APA.
Use three levels (I, A, 1), with level-three points naming the content and sources you plan to use. The outline should show the instructor how the 16 pages will be filled.
