• 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.

This week, you will continue working on the Scope, Charter, and SWOT Analysis that you have been working on throughout the past 2 weeks.

For Week 3, complete the following:

  • Create a visual using the Gap Analysis map of the identified gap, documenting the flow from the point of origin to the destination. After watching the YouTube video, “How to do a GAP Analysis” media piece in this week’s Learning Resources, identify the gap and analyze the flow or lack of flow of information as the gap in a process.
  • Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using PowerPoint slides or another method. Be sure to review the media piece, What Is a Work Breakdown Structure? in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Create a Project Timeline using aGantt chart, which defines who is responsible, due dates to start /finish activities. (You might also use this as you track your dissertation IRB submission for your proposal). You can find an example on pp. 95–96 of the course text, using PowerPoint slides or another method. Be sure to review the Gantt Charts, Simplified media piece in this week’s Learning Resources.
By Day 7 of Week 5

These three planning documents will be added to the three design and planning documents from Weeks 1 and 2 (totaling six tools) and kept current/updated as you develop this project.

You are not required to submit this assignment this week.
