A High Level Outline Option for Presentations

Below is a potential high-level outline approach for presentations. This is only one; it is not the only one, it may not be fully complete. It is just something to give each group some additional “food for thought”.

1. Welcome and Introduction:

   1. Business Background and History.

   2. Case Background and History.

   3. Key Stakeholders (an opportunity to leverage a tool example – Stakeholder Assessment).

   4. Related Relevant Information to the Business or Case –

      1. Assessment of the Business Market/Environment.

         • Identify any unique factors to the market/environment that are relevant to the business or case.

      2. Assessment of the Business Competition.

         • An opportunity to leverage a tool example – Assess position of your business against others in the market/environment via a SWOT Analysis.

      3. Financial Analysis.

      4. Other Relevant Items.

   5. Within this section is an opportunity to integrate a multi-media component into your presentation about the business or case.

2. Assessment of the following related to your business or case:

   1. What happened?

   2. What role did Key Stakeholders have in what happened?

   3. What other factors influenced the situation?

   4. What resulted?

   5. What Went Well?

   6. What Went Wrong?

3. Application of Project Management Knowledge Areas to the Business or Case (to Yield Improvement):

   1. For each relevant Project Management Knowledge Area (do completely for each Project Management Knowledge Area, one Project Management Knowledge Area at a time) –

      1. Name what the Project Management Knowledge Area is.

      2. Explain why the Project Management Knowledge Area is relevant to your business or case.

      3. Explain how you would apply the Project Management Knowledge Area to your business or case to yield improvement (another opportunity to leverage tool examples relevant to each/every Project Management Knowledge Area you are covering – multiple opportunities to leverage multiple tools).

      4. Explain what impact you believe application of the Project Management Knowledge Area will have on the case.

      5. Explain how you would measure and validate for the desired impact or impacts on your business or case.

   2. This could be another opportunity to integrate a multi-media component into your presentation relevant to a Project Management Knowledge Area being covered.

4. Current State:

   1. Add any relevant current information on the business or case.

   2. This could be another opportunity to integrate a multi-media component into your presentation.

5. Conclusion.

6. End.

7. Works Cited/References.

8. Appendix:

   1. Include additional complete or full tool examples relevant to the case that you may have referenced in your main presentation only but did not include the full example in the body of it.

   2. Include other relevant information that you may have referenced in your main presentation only but did not include in the body of it.

Tool Examples to Consider Within and/or Supplemental to Presentations

1. Stakeholder Analysis.

2. SWOT Analysis.

3. Developing examples of Strategy, Vision, Mission, and Goal statements.

4. Scope Statement (what a proper one would be; write your own).

5. Flow Chart of both the Business and IT processes in a visual format.

6. Risk Assessment (also known as a RAID Log).

7. Risk Mitigation Plan to address risks.

8. Probability-Impact Matrix.

9. High-level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

10. Milestone-level plan and/or a Gantt Chart.

11. RACI Chart.

12. Project Budget and/or tools to report on budget performance (plan versus actual performance, may be integrated within a Status Report).

13. Communications Plan (to improve upon communications and transparency issues).

14. High-level Test Plan and/or Testing Approach.

15. Procurement Plan (to better manage contracting-related issues).

16. Status Report (to track progress, financials, risks, issues, etc.).

17. Training Plan – How you would leverage training to aid in adoption.

18. Change Management Log – With actual changes made included.

Questions to Ask As You Consider Presentation Topics

1. Does your topic fit the assignment well?

2. Is your topic adaptable to the needs of the assignment from a Project Management perspective?

3. Will your topic allow you to –

   1. Develop a high-quality overall presentation?

   2. Effectively analyze the topic in terms of the Project Management Knowledge Areas?

   3. Apply the Project Management Knowledge Areas and offer improvement opportunities?

   4. Apply the Project Management related questions I note in class and in my Canvas announcements (also see Item 3 in the High Level Outline Option for Presentations section above)?

      1. What Project Management Knowledge Areas, Tools, Techniques, and/or Processes would you employ?

      2. Why?

      3. How?

      4. How would you expect what you employ to improve the situation (e.g., what are the expected benefits from employing the Project Management Knowledge Areas, Tools, Techniques, and/or Processes used)?

      5. How would you measure the impact to validate for the desired effect (e.g., how will you prove the intended benefit was realized)?

   5. Create strong tool examples with real case data included to support the above items?

4. When you do additional internet research on the topic is there more/additional information available online, through other resources, or on websites/company/corporate sites that you can leverage for your presentation?

5. Make sure it is a topic that will allow you to develop the best presentation possible.
