The MGMT 690 Week 2 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Read the whole project brief before this stage. Knowing where Red Zuma Case Project Parts 1 and 2 leads lets you collect the right information now.
Choose a subject you can research
Pick a real organization, product or setting with enough public information to support every stage. A subject that runs out of data halfway through is hard to recover.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Back the analysis with credible sources (The Red Zuma case in the Create text): company filings, industry data, peer-reviewed research.
Format, length and teamwork
Check length (Not set in the guide; follow the case instructions in the Create text) and APA. For group stages, split the sections early and leave a day for one person to unify the voice.
Enter tasks in a work breakdown structure with summary tasks, link dependencies, assign resources with rates, and check the critical path and total cost against the case's constraints. Save a baseline before entering progress so variance can be measured, and keep the Word answers tied to figures from the Project file.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The initial schedule finishes on October 28, two weeks past the case's target date, because site preparation and permitting are both on the critical path. Overlapping the final design review with permitting, which the case allows, brings the finish to October 14 without adding cost.
