FINAL COURSE PROJECT PRESENTATION (SIGNATURE
ASSIGNMENT)
You will create a 12 to 15 minute presentation via a
PowerPoint® presentation that is set up for automatic
transitions of slides with voice narration or a Narrated Video
Presentation. You will present an overview of the project and
provides the project sponsor with an overall view of the project
plan. In some cases, the business sponsor/executive will not
have time to read the entire plan, so they would prefer a
presentation highlighting the key points of the project. You
should include the project baseline start and finish dates for the
project. You should also include a short table with the high-
level budget that indicates the baseline total planned budget
amount for the overall project within your presentation. The
following sections and information should also be included.
Section A: Summary
Part 1: Planning, Monitoring, and Execution
Part 2: Communication Plan
Part 3: Project Status including Quality and Performance Levels
Section B: Project Plan
Part 1: Milestones

Part 2: Review of MS Project® Schedule
Part 3: Review of MS Project® Resources
Part 4: Review of MS Project® Budget
Section C: Project Budget/Schedule Analysis
Comparison of Actual vs Budgeted Costs
Explanation of Cost Variances (EV)
Explanation of Schedule Variance (EV)
Section D: Project Overview
Needs Assessment and Business Strategy
Leadership & Management (Project Organization & Leadership
Style)
Section E: Conclusion
Section F: Lessons Learned Report
Please review the rubric for this presentation to ensure all

requirements are accomplished with your presentation. This
presentation will be submitted by the end of week 7.
You will automatically be assigned to two other presentations to
conduct your peer reviews that will be due by Saturday of Week
8.
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).
