Assignment

For this assignment, you will conduct some academic research on project management and Six Sigma applications. You may use your textbook as a resource, but you must also use at least one additional outside resource. It is highly recommended that you use the ECPI electronic library since the sources in the library are valid and credible resources. You will use your research to formulate your own plan and proposal.

Your report must cover the following points but not necessarily in this order. Please do not limit your responses to this bulleted list. Your report must be in essay format.

• Explain why project proposals, including Six Sigma projects, must support an organization's mission and goals.

• How are project management skills important in the Six Sigma process?

• Project plans must provide details about how the project will be accomplished. Select six of these details and describe and discuss their importance.

• Consider a project that you are working or might work on either at work or here at school. Using information in the textbook and your resource(s) as a guide, write a project proposal.

• Be sure to include in your proposal why your proposal should be accepted.

NOTE: Your opinions, interpretations and conclusions are an important part of any research assignment. However, you must provide support for such through your research.

Your report must meet the following criteria:

• Your report should be approximately two pages in length and should use APA Style.

• You must use at least three resources, one of which can be your textbook. Please seek help from the Writing Assistance Center (WAC) here in your Canvas log in if you are unsure how to use APA Style.
