Assignment - Email in Action
Objective: To Inform and Inquire
Audience: Your boss, Michael Kaufman, Triple Constraint Watch
From: You, PMO Manager, Triple Constraint Watch
Overall Assignment Goal: Write a concise and appropriate e-mail for the situation
This assignment has two parts:
1. Prewriting. You must assess your audience using the same method as last week's assignment (how you assess your boss will determine tone and approach)
2. Final product (the email)
For prewriting, remember these topics to cover:
1. Assignment topic and purpose
2. Audience identification and assessment
3. Adapted strategy and topic
4. Main points to be covered
5. References used (only if you need though). In this case you are producing the "final" product, so your References must be in APA format on its own References page.
Delivery Method: Write your email in your own platform and before you hit send, take a screen shot (or multiple shots).
Background: You are the PMO Manager for the company Triple Constraint Watch. Your boss, Michael Kaufman, has scheduled three appointments to interview applicants for the position of project manager. All of these appointments are for Thursday, February 7; however, he now must travel to Toronto that week. He asks you to reschedule all the appointments for one week later. He also wants a brief background summary for each candidate.
Although frustrated, you call each person and are lucky to arrange these times. Saul Salazar, who has been a project manager for nine years with Summit Enterprises, agrees to come at 10:30 a.m. Kaitlyn Grindell, who is a systems analyst and a consultant to many companies, will come at 11:30 a.m. Mary Montgomery, who has an MA degree and six years of experience as a senior project coordinator at High Point Industries, will come at 9:30 a.m. You are wondering whether Mr. Kaufman forgot to include Grace Ho, operations personnel officer, in these interviews. Ms. Ho is usually part of the selection process.
Your Task: Write an email to Mr. Kaufman including all the information he needs, while trying to find out if Ms. Ho should be involved.
