ssignment 2: DU Keystone Conference: Initial Planning
As a project manager for Ducks Unlimited, you have just been tasked with planning the
upcoming Keystone Conference where the organization’s long-term strategy for the next ten years will be fleshed-out. You will have two chapter representatives from every state in the U.S. attending a national conference in Charlottesville, N.C. twenty-one months from now. In the meantime, you will need to organize ten separate teams to work on individual projects of their choosing that will be presented during the conference. These teams will be working virtually (no travel) until the actual conference. Your overall budget for this project is 1.2 million dollars.
Use the Web to research the corporate strategies, culture and organization of Ducks Unlimited before starting this paper.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper that accomplishes the following:
1. Describe the elements of scope for the project.
2. Evaluate priorities, list them and explain your rationale.
3. Develop a preliminary WBS.
4. Make recommendations for a communication plan.
