Assignment 1: Application: Using Microsoft Project
Starting a project without a plan is like going on a road trip without any directions. You may progress along the way, but you might not end up at your desired destination. A project plan provides basic information that guides the execution and control of the project. At its most fundamental level, a project plan will describe the “who, what, when, and why” of a project. Microsoft Project is one of the most widely used project planning tools. The ability to understand and create project plans in Microsoft Project enables a project manager to effectively plan and manage project implementations.
In this Assignment, you generate a project plan using Microsoft Project.
To prepare:

  • Review      the information in this week’s Learning Resources on using Microsoft      Project.
  • Consider      how to efficiently schedule tasks in a project plan.
  • Think      about how you should sequence tasks that have dependencies.

By Day 7 of Week 3
To complete this Assignment, you will create a Microsoft Project plan for a patient information management system. The primary deliverable for the plan is the patient information management system itself, but it is comprised of many modules. Include the following tasks, subtasks, and timeframes:

  • Create      the Admission, Discharge, and Transfer Module (requires subtask I,      configuration period: 25 days, training period: 10 days)
  • Subtask      I: Create the Patient Registration Module (requires subtask II,      configuration period: 4 days, training period: 4 days)
  • Subtask      II: Create the Master Patient Index (configuration period: 4 days)
  • Subtask      III: Create the Patient Scheduling Module (requires subtask II,      configuration period: 7 days, training period: 15 days)

UNIT 6
Topic: Tactical Planning (Continued)
Benchmark – Strategic Planning: Action Plan
Details:
Use your completed strategy map to formulate functional-level strategy for the primary business functions included in your plan. Functional-level strategies are the action plans used by departments within organizations to support the execution of business-level strategy at the managerial level. Create a 500-750 word action plan that addresses the following:

  1. Identify which management tactics and strategies you will implement to meet your strategic goals for each of the stakeholders, departments, or business functions impacted by your plan: MBO, MBM, single-use or standing plans, competitive advantage, contingency planning, building scenarios, crisis planning, and innovation.
  2. Provide an explanation of how you will apply managerial decision-making methods throughout your action plan.
  3. Which business functions will be impacted by your action plan? What tactics will you use to manage implementation across business functions? What can you do to enhance collaboration/cross-functionality to ensure the success of      your plan?
  4. Identify leadership strategies you plan to implement throughout the execution of your action plan. In particular, explain which strategies you would implement to foster team collaboration among the multiple stakeholders who must collaborate to successfully implement the plan. Why do you think these will be successful?
