FUND RAISING PROJECT
Assume you are a member of a class on project management. Each student will join a team of 5–7 students who will be responsible for creating, planning and executing a fund raising project for a designated charity. The fund raising project has two goals: (1) raise money for a worthy cause and (2) provide an opportunity for all team members to practice project management skills and techniques.
In addition to completing the project a number of deliverables are required to complete this assignment. These deliverables include:
a) Project Proposal
b) Implementation Plan
c) Risk Management Plan
d) Status Report
e) Project Reflections Presentation
f) Project Retrospective/Audit
Approved projects will receive $250 seed money to be reimbursed upon completion of the project.
“MUST” OBJECTIVES
Every project must meet the “must” objectives as determined by the instructor. There are four must objectives:
All projects must be safe, legal and comply with university policies.
All projects must be capable of earning at least $500.
Page 61 All projects must be able to be completed within nine weeks.
All projects must provide an opportunity for every member of the project team to experience and learn about project management.
Among the factors to consider for the last objective would be the extent there is meaningful work for every member of the team, the degree of coordination required, the extent the team will have to work with external stakeholders, and the complexity of the project.
“WANT” OBJECTIVES
In addition to the must objectives, there are “want” objectives that the instructor would like to achieve. The following is a list of these objectives:
Earn more than $500 for a charity
Increase public awareness of the charity
Provide a resume worthy experience for students
Be featured on local TV news
Be fun to do
