Assessment Description

The purpose of this assignment is to create a final project management plan and retrospective
based upon the IT project management activities students have been developing throughout the
course.

Using the feedback you received from your peers and instructor on the assignments in Topics
3-7, make revisions and finalize your project management plan. The final, revised versions of
all plan components created in the Topics 3-7 should be included. In addition, include a 250-
500 word project retrospective that addresses the following:

1. Discuss what you learned from completion of the group and individual IT
project management activities.

2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the project management strategies you

employed by discussing what you think worked well in the project plan and
what you would do differently if you were assigned a similar project.
Provide specific examples related to process, tools, and team dynamics to
illustrate your ideas.

Submit the final project management plan and retrospective to the instructor.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is
