- Evaluate how well your small nursing informatics project was designed, planned, and implemented.
Continue to implement your small nursing informatics project, or propose how you might implement your project, applying the 10 tracking documents developed in Part 1. Now track your project to make sure the implementation is going as planned. Remember, the goal of this project is to demonstrate, through a small nursing informatics project, your understanding of nursing informatics.
The Assignment: (17-20 pages)
Activities to track with application of tools:
- Is the project staying within scope? (Scope)
- Were all of the gaps identified? (Gap Analysis)
- Is the project following the timeline? (Project timeline)
- If you had a budget, is it on track?
- Were all of the work activities correctly assigned? (WBS)
- Are team members responsible? (RACI)
- Did the project start on time, inline to meet due date? (Gantt)
- Are you holding weekly status meetings and documented all activities? Are all team members in attendance and communicated with? (Communication Plan)
- Are all changes approved and documented? (Change Management Plan)
- Are all risks identified, prioritized, assigned an owner and mitigation plan developed? (Risk Management Plan)
Using these activities above for guidance, continue to work on Part 2, the Project Final paper and presentation. The 10 documents from Part 1 will be added to the final paper as appendices. The paper, 17-20 pages not including references, will include a comprehensive description of the process and evaluation of the status of each activity.
The final summary will include the complete evaluation of the full project and lessons learned: what went well and what needs updated and revised.
In addition to the scholarly paper, you will also construct a 10-15 slide, narrated presentation for the stakeholders in your project. You will have the opportunity to share your presentation with your colleagues, prior to the final submission, for critique and feedback.
Part 2 is due by Day 7 of Week 9. You are not required to submit this assignment this week.
