In this assignment, you will need to create a presentation for the upper management at your chosen course project business. The presentation will focus on suggesting two pieces of technology that you feel are essential to the implementation of your chosen strategic management goal. This presentation will be in PowerPoint and requires the recording of audio. Below is a detailed breakdown of what should be included in the presentation.

2- MAPPING STRATEGIC GOALS

The stage is set for your strategic goal to become a reality. Before that can happen, you'll need to think through and map out the tasks within the project. This assignment will focus on planning out the individual aspects of the project using the project management tools that you've previously learned. You will be able to use Word or Excel for this assignment. (Choose whichever you're more familiar with.) It's important to think through the goal you're trying to accomplish and how you'll reach it. The more detailed you can be with your tasks, the smoother the project management cycle will go. Your submission this week should accomplish the following:

• Create a Gantt chart using the tasks listed in the previous chart.
• Create a network diagram using the tasks listed out in the previous chart.
