PJM330 Module 8 Project Management Simulation Analysis - 2

PJM330 Colorado State University M 8 Project Management Simulation Analysis

OPTION #2: PORTFOLIO PROJECT – PRESENTATION

The entire Portfolio Project is worth a total 350 points, and it is composed of three parts:

• Part 1: Weekly participation in the discussion forums for the project portfolio simulation (15 points each week during Weeks 1-6, 90 points total)
• Part 2: Summary paper submitted during Module 7 as a Portfolio Project Milestone (75 points)
• Part 3: Presentation of the simulation, including best practices gained and lessons learned – this is due in Module 8 (185 points)

Each part of this project is important and must be completed on time, and Part 3 is due this week.

Part 3: Your presentation should be well structured, like all project management communications. Use the following outline as main points of your presentation to provide structure. Utilize presentation software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Prezi, to help create graphics and talking points for your audience.

• Introduction: Provide background and tell the viewer what to expect from the presentation.
• Key decisions made: Describe a few of the decisions made in the simulation that were critical to the overall success or failure of the project.
• Lessons learned: Use subheadings and address successes, issues, and actions to consider in the future when faced with similar challenges.
• Learning-curve benefits: Based on the key decisions made and lessons learned, explain how the learning-curve would benefit similar projects in the future.
• Best practices: Compile a list of three best practices that can be applied to similar projects in the future.

You are also required to submit detailed speaker’s notes containing a script for presenting each slide. The notes can be embedded in the presentation using the speaker’s notes capability or submitted in a separate Word document. For some tips on making dynamic presentations, view the visual presentations page (Links to an external site.) in the CSU-Global Online Research and Writing lab.

Include a minimum of four academic or professional references that provide information and guidance for assertions made in your presentation. As always, follow CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.) for formatting and style. Note: Outside sources means academic and research other than the textbook, course materials, or other information provided as part of the course materials.
