MGMT 404 Week 2 Course Project (Updated)

MGMT 404 Week 2 Course Project (Updated)

Objectives

The objective of the Course Project is to give you an opportunity to practice the skills learned in class regarding the planning methodologies of a project. These skills are directly applicable toward your senior project.

Guidelines

For this project, you may choose one that is of interest to you, or you may choose to begin planning for your senior project. When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small). Here are some successful past project ideas.

• The opening of a coffee shop
• A charity event for a local social service agency
• A meditation pool and platform in the center of town
• A redevelopment of a local playground
• Design and installation of a computer network for a small business
• Software development project

A project to build a house or create a website is NOT acceptable.  

You are not limited to the list of projects above. Please refer all questions concerning what is acceptable as a class project to your instructor.
