- Continue to implement, or propose how you might implement, your small nursing informatics project by applying the 10 tracking documents (Part 1) developed in Weeks 1-6. Track your project to make sure the implementation is going as planned or consider how your proposed implementation might go. Remember, this process is like what you will experience in completing your DNP Project or dissertation.
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 develop and compile the final paper, discussing the plan for implementation and tracking project progress with your manager who will provide oversight for the project. If you do not have time to fully implement the project due to constraints discussed with your manager and instructor, continue to write it up and submit it as if you were implementing. Be sure to document and justify why you could not actually implement and discuss the constraints.
Continue to work on Part 2, the Project Final paper and Presentation. Remember that Part 1 and the previous 10 documents will be added to your final paper submission.
Part 2 is due by Day 7 of Week 9.
You are not required to submit this assignment this week.
