Create a Project Plan: I suggest something simple such as planning a trip (you choose the location), building a doghouse, planning a party, etc. Keep your WBS to approximately 15-20 items. Follow the template (you can use MS Word, Excel, MS Project) and submit the following in your project plan.
You should include in the paper:
Executive Summary: a one-page cover sheet
Scope of work (or Statement of work): Make it one sentence that simply states the time, cost and scope of the project.
Project Objectives: 5-10 bullet items explaining the value you expect to receive from the project.
Work breakdown structure: 15-20 activities required to complete your project in an outline format (MS Project)
Responsibilities matrix
Communications plan
Network diagram (forward pass, backward pass, identifying the critical path) (Microsoft Project)
Gantt chart
Milestone Chart
Resource requirements list
Baseline budget
Time phased budget
Optimize the schedule (Recommendations to reduce the schedule length and calculate impact on the budget (include examples of outsourcing with applicable example contracts)

Risk Management Plan
