- You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and potentially implement a small nursing informatics project. While you may not have the opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a small informatics project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need to design, plan, and propose how to implement and evaluate a small informatics project that can be completed within a 9-week time frame during this course. This project will be completed in two parts.

To Prepare
- Continue working with a manager, or consider how you will work with a manager, to finalize a small informatics project for your organization. If time allows based on the type of project, you will also implement and evaluate the outcomes. Each week, you will develop and apply a component needed to complete the project.
By Day 7 of Week 5
Continue working on theScope, Charter, and SWOT Analysis, as assigned thus far. You will add Gap, WBS, Project Timeline in the coming weeks (six tools; 8–9 pages including application and rationale for tools) to be submitted in Week 5.
For Week 2, conduct a SWOT analysis.
- Project Design: Conduct a SWOT analysis which will provide information for the Scope and Charter. You can use a Word document and insert a table. Directions can be viewed in the video, How to Perform a SWOT Analysis. Some of the content is relevant to both the project for this course as well as organization for your DNP Project or dissertation. Overall, the first step for any project, work, or your DNP Project/dissertation requires a plan: what you will and will not do. That information is defined in a project scope and charter.
You are not required to submit this assignment this week.
