The MGMT 690 Week 3 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 Part 3 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
Use the stage questions as headings. Each answer should be about your subject, supported by facts about it.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Cite the facts you use (The Red Zuma case in the Create text). Industry reports, filings and journal articles carry more weight than websites with no author.
Format, length and teamwork
Stay within Not set in the guide; follow the case instructions in the Create text and format in current APA. If the stage is a group deliverable, agree on who writes which section early and edit for one voice at the end.
Enter actual progress, review variances against the baseline, and resolve any overallocated resources with leveling, explaining the effect in Word. 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.
After entering week 6 progress, the project is four days behind baseline because the electrical contractor started late. Resource leveling resolved an overallocation of the site supervisor but did not recover the delay; adding a second electrician for one week would recover three days at an added cost of $4,200.
