Module- Case Assignment: PROJECT INITIATION/EXECUTION AND CONTROL
Case Assignment
Project Execution and Control
Planning the project is intricate and time-consuming, but it is worth all of the hard work when the project begins unfolding and you are able to see the finished product more clearly. Making sure the execution is done to quality, cost, and time specifications means keeping a close eye on progress and making adjustments when necessary.
Using information from assignment readings, websites, and articles from the library's full-text article databases (Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete and/or Proquest Central), research two principles of managing projects. At least two articles cited in the case MUST be from Trident's Library databases. Keep in mind that the requirements are for articles, not books.
Principle 1 (1 page)
• Explain the principle (no quotes).
• Describe how it can be applied to help keep the project on track. At least one article from Trident's Library databases must be cited in this section.
Principle 2 (1 page)

Presenting the Project
Presenting to financers, your management team, client, or work group is a skill that professionals need to master. Multimedia presentations are the norm today.
The project is nearing completion. This is your opportunity to let stakeholders know how they will benefit from the project. Be persuasive and professional. Keep in mind you did not work on this project alone. Good leaders share the credit with their teams.
Presentation Script
• Create a script to accompany the presentation. It should be persuasive and targeted to the group chosen for this presentation. It can be written in a conversational style but since you are engaging in research, cite in the script and add a reference list in APA format.
PowerPoint Presentation
• Create a professional PowerPoint. You will be assessed on the design of the presentation (including colors, backgrounds, professionalism, font, graphics). Optional content: Sound, videos, animation.
• Wording on slides should be bullet points or short overviews of what you will discuss when each slide is shown. You want your audience to pay attention to you and not read along on the slide.
