document that will serve as the statement of work for the
project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the
executive team. The project plan should be very detailed, which
is appropriate to accomplish the monumental task of
implementation; however, the executive team is only interested
36. in a thirty (30) minute summation. Therefore, you also must
create a compelling executive summary that is supported by
your detail that convinces the executive team that it should
move forward with your solution.
1. Develop a thirty to forty (30-40) page project plan in which you:
1. Write a five to ten (5-10) page executive summary in
which you provide a high-level technical overview of your
project where you address the following:
1. Describe the scope of the project and control measures.
2. Describe the goals and objectives of the project.
3. Give a detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the entire
project, including technical resources (human capital) that may
be needed to complete the project.
1. Relate the value of the project plan solution to the competitive
advantage that information technology will afford the
organization.
2. Provide all aspects of the information technology
implementation into the project plan.
3. Recommend solution providers who can assist with
development and implementation. Include a cost analysis of at
least three (3) providers.
4. Provide all aspects of the information technology
implementation into the project plan.
5. Revise the documentation based on feedback from the earlier
evaluation of the deliverable.
1. Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1-
5 in which you:
37. 1. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this
assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not
qualify as quality resources.

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
• Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio and MS Project
as appendix of the Word document. Make reference of these
files in the body of the Word document.
Section 2: Revised Business Requirements Document
1. Document all revisions made to the written project plan in the
Document Control section of the business requirements
document from Project Deliverable 2: Business

revisions made to the previous deliverables required in Section
1: Written Project Plan.
Section 3: Project Plan PowerPoint Presentation
38. Additional to your detailed executive summary you must present
your findings to the executive team and the venture capital
group that along with the executive summary will convince the
group that your solution is optimal.
1. Create a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide PowerPoint presentation in
which you:
1. Illustrate the concepts from the executive summary in Section 1
of this assignment.
2. Create bulleted speaking notes for your presentation to the
executive board in the Notes section of the
PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious
names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this
assignment for a realistic flow of communication.
