1. nstructions
One of the critical stages of a project is planning. Through
project management standards and practices, enterprises are
conducting and executing information technology solutions
implementations. Therefore, project management activities
interact with the SDLC, extreme prototype software
development, or infrastructure implementations. For this course,
you will develop a project plan for an information systems
development. This plan will be part of the formal request for
proposal (RFP) document. You can work on your own document
or use a template provided with the syllabus.
In this final project, you will research, analyze, propose, and
design a comprehensive RFP for a complex IT solution or
development. You can complete the project plan for the scenario
or project worked in assignments for Weeks 1-4, or select a
scenario to work on your information technology development,
as part of the requirements and specifications document to be
part of the RFP.
For this assignment, create a mock request for proposal (RFP)
either for the scenario you worked on during Weeks 1-4, or for
a selected IT application design project as suggested in Week 1.
You can use your own document format, use templates
published by the Project Management Docs portal supported by
PMI, or follow the outline below. In this document, you will
provide all the key items anticipated in the closing phase.
Include each item using a heading to identify the item and brief
sample content under the heading.

When selecting your project topic, make sure it is not too small
or too complex (remember time constraints—this course lasts
eight weeks), and avoid choosing an area where you have little
or no knowledge. The project should not identify a specific
