This is the third of three assignments that, as a whole, cover all aspects of the project life cycle relevant to your selected project.

Now, it is time for you to discuss your project’s challenges (e.g., risks), performance management plan (e.g., earned value management), and proposed plan for closing the project when it is done.

Instructions

Write a 4-6 page paper in which you define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen project. In your paper you must:

1. Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the project’s greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations. The plan should also include a rationale for why the selected challenges are the greatest challenges and why the chosen mitigation recommendations were made.
2. Provide specific and detailed information on how you will measure project performance. Define how the project will be measured and include at least three key EVM metrics that will be used to determine progress and performance success. This should also include a rationale for why those specific metrics were chosen.
3. Create a plan for closing the project properly that includes details on how that closure will be coordinated with any necessary stakeholders.
4. Create a performance evaluation to measure project effectiveness that includes scope, cost, time, and quality.
5. Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Develop a process for measuring the progress of a project, providing oversight, coordinating project closure, and determining project effectiveness.

my topic

The health fair’s planning and implementation yielded many benefits. First, I gave each team member tasks that played to their strengths to ensure everyone was on the same page. We used sponsorships and donations to fund venue rental, consumables, and promotional materials on a tight budget. Effective marketing and outreach activities attracted a varied audience to the event, encouraging community engagement and participation. As with any project, we came into issues. Since we overestimated job durations, we had to scurry at the last minute to meet deadlines. Second, communication and scheduling issues made coordinating with food and equipment vendors hard. Finally, even with careful planning, last-minute changes were needed due to weather issues on event day.
