Data driven decision making Discussion Week 3
Data driven decision making Discussion Week 3
Kick-off meetings are commonly held for many types of events and occurrences; however, they play a critical role in project management. Select a project (real or proposed) that would benefit your current or a past employer. Prepare an agenda for use at the project kick-off meeting that shows the important points you will discuss.
Your PowerPoint presentation will consist of two slides. The first slide will feature bullet points that briefly describe the project and the benefit to the employer. The second slide will feature bullet points that describe the balance of the agenda for the meeting. Each of these slides must contain speaker notes and five to six bullet points. Add a title slide and a reference slide showing at least one source used to prepare your assignment. Attach your agenda to the discussion forum as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

Nearly all projects produce lessons learned, many of which have applications to other current or future projects. While these lessons may be shared at any point during a project, a lessons learned meeting should be held at the end of every project. Using the project from this week’s first discussion, prepare an overview for a final lessons learned meeting that shows the important points you will discuss.
Your presentation will consist of two slides. The first slide will feature bullet points that briefly describe the lessons learned. The second slide will feature bullet points that describe how the lessons may be of use to other current or future projects. Each of these slides must contain speaker notes and 3 to 4 bullet points. Add a title slide and a reference slide showing at least one source used to prepare your assignment. Attach your slides to the discussion forum as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
