Project Management

Unit V PowerPoint Presentation

Instructions

The executing process group is one of the most important parts of the project since the project’s activities are completed during this process. The executing process group can be complex, depending on the project, so project managers rely on tools and technology to assist them with the key functions of the execution process (i.e., communication, scheduling, resource management, and quality management).

As the project manager for the annual adoption event at Lucky Me Animal Rescue, you have been asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to facilitate the rescue leadership’s understanding of tools and technology that can be used during this project in the areas mentioned above.

Note: Assume you have access to any available tool or technology. Your goal in this presentation is to help the rescue understand why the tools you recommend will help the project function more efficiently and lead to success.

Your PowerPoint presentation should include at least three tools for each of the following functions performed during the execution phase:

· manage communications,

· manage the schedule,

· manage project resources, and

· manage quality.

Your PowerPoint presentation must be a minimum of eight slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides. You must utilize the speaker notes function in PowerPoint to elaborate on your slide content. Each content slide must have a minimum of 75 words in the speaker notes area; however, ensure that you are not repeating actual slide content.

Alternatively, you may add audio narration to each slide with the same word count requirement listed above. Should you choose this option, you will need to submit a transcript of your presentation audio in as an appendix after your PowerPoints (PPT) presentations reference list when you upload your assignment in Blackboard. Appendices, other supporting materials etc. are added after your reference list. Appendices are labelled, for example, Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, etc. Each appendix starts on a page of its own. Appendices and other supporting materials should not be submitted separately in the Blackboard.

You must use at least three sources that are peer-reviewed or academic in nature, one of which may be the textbook. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for all sources used
