You will present an overview of the project and provides the project sponsor with an overall view of the project plan.

Note!

The video or presentation will involve a process-orientated task by analyzing the process of completing the project, analyzing the results of the project, and evolving transformation of the results and issues of the project into a summary of the project along with a lessons-learned report (Processes). The collection of data from performing the project would be conducted by the student, which will be analyzed and synthesized. The student through whatever means that is effective that can include Excel® and/or Microsoft® Project® will transform this data into a final management report (Data). After using tools such as Excel® and/or Project®, the student will use a microphone to create narration for a slide presentation via PowerPoint® with automatic transitions, Movie Maker, PowerPoint® Video Tool, or other such presentation/video tools available to the student. Either the PowerPoint® or resulting MP4 video will be embedded to a discussion thread for asynchronous discussion activity (Devices). Finally, a peer review process will follow the submission of the presentation that provides an integral network of outsiders analyzing and evaluating the course project summary and lessons learned provided (People).
