Development of a one-page project management plan
Value 10%
In this assignment, you will prepare a one-page project management (OPPM) plan dealing with a specific healthcare issue. The purpose of this assignment is twofold: you will learn about a specific issue/topic; and you will learn to prepare the OPPM plan. The template to use for this assignment is located directly below this message in the moodle. When you open it, you should download it to your own computer. You will see that I have inserted a number of things into the template as an example of what yours should look like. Simply delete out all the information I put in, and put in your own.
Please check it out ASAP to become familiar with it. Save a few copies of it and practice around with it. The idea behind the OPPM assignment is to show how all the relevant details about carrying out a project can be done on one page.
How to proceed with this assignment:
1. Think up a current healthcare topic or problem. Literally any topic will do.
2. Think of how the topic/problem you have picked could be carried out or solved by 4-5 people in a project management fashion. Consider yourself the project manager.
3. Using the problem you have selected, show me how you would carry out all the work by inserting all the relevant details into the OPPM template. Assume you have a budget of $100,000 for this project and four months maximum to complete it. You do not need to break the budget down any further than this on the OPPM.
4. All the details about how you would carry out this project shall then be included in the OPPM template. Make sure you save the template each time you work on it. Once it is completed send it to me via email. All I need is the one page. Your name and student number should go in at the top where you will list yourself as the project manager. Don’t send anything else.
