Week 10 Assignment – Project Proposal: Execution, Control, and Closure

Overview

Note: This is the third of three  assignments that, as a whole, cover all aspects of the project life  cycle relevant to your selected project. Now, it is time for you to discuss your  project’s challenges (e.g., risks), performance management plan (e.g.,  earned value management), and proposed plan for closing the project when  it is done. 

Instructions

Write a 4–6 page paper in which you  define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen  project. In your paper you must: 

1. Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the  project’s greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations. The plan  should also include rationale for why the selected challenges are the  greatest challenges and why the chosen mitigation recommendations  were made.
2. Provide specific and detailed information on how you will measure  project performance. Define how the project will be measured and include  at least three key EVM metrics that will be used to determine progress  and performance success. This should also include rationale on why those  specific metrics were chosen.  
3. Create a plan for closing the project properly that includes  details on how that closure will be coordinated with any necessary  stakeholders.
4. Create a performance evaluation to measure project effectiveness that includes scope, cost, time, and quality.
5. Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources  that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed  on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help  with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
