In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outline of the sections that will be included in the procedures manual as well as a draft of a proposal to submit to both your instructor and a potential project sponsor. The other information you will include is a high-level description of the business process or set of procedures and the intended audience for the manual.
You will also be setting up the foundation of the procedures manual documentation outline that you will add to each week.
Project Selection
The first step will be to select a process or set of procedures for which a manual does not exist today. You will then outline the sections of the manual. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The selected business process or set of procedures should reflect a real-life application.
Domain knowledge: Students will be applying knowledge of this process or set of procedures to determine the contents of the manual.
Select a process or set of procedures that fit these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Keep in mind that this is a draft of a proposal that you could later send to a project sponsor. Approval should be sought within the first few days of the course.
Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
