Best Practices
- Fill out the template in its entirety.
- Use the information you gather to answer the Week 3 Checkpoint (which uses the same case study) to help you begin your plan.
- Do not wait until the last minute to read the Case Study. You need to work a little on the document each week, and follow the suggested milestones for completion.
- There are several books in the DeVry online library on project management that can be a source of reference for helping you determine the information that should be included in the plan.

leave an audit trail.
Informal Reportscan be paper or electronic; if electronic, project wikis
or collaborative software can be useful.

their results are either Formal or Informal.
