MPM 790 - Project Management Capstone

To demonstrate mastery, the student completes an individual project management capstone centered around a value-added opportunity for an organization (nonprofit or business). The student is required to identify and engage with an organizational point of contact (client) and complete a project plan. The student will work with the client to obtain requirements for a product, good, service, or result. Throughout the course of the project, the student must demonstrate mastery of programmatic outcomes, detailing the business case, benefits, project charter, and thorough assessment of the 10 knowledge areas of project management, formulating the project plan. As an autobiographical research component, the student is required to journal their experience and author a reflection paper, which synthesizes their learnings from the project. All deliverables must be scholarly; the reflection paper must conform to APA writing style. Additionally, the student is expected to present the project plan in a baseline meeting with project stakeholders, consisting of the client and members of faculty at the end of the program.
