Description
Individual assignment
As a culminating project, this assignment has two parts: an executive summary and a project plan
created in either MS Project (PC) or Apple Merlin (MAC). Those experiencing problems with Project
software may complete this portion of the assignment in Excel. Use prior course information and data
gathered for your CLC Business Plan to complete this assignment.
Write an executive summary of your CLC Business Plan.
Write a project plan in Microsoft Project or Apple Merlin. Excel may be substituted as needed.
1. Examine your CLC Business Plan: Extract the distinct activities needed to start up the business: (a)
Identify tasks needed to complete the project. (b) Develop a completion schedule. (c) Assign resources
to project tasks.
2. Be creative. For example: If your plan calls for three nurses, you will need to plan for hiring, and
training. Create arbitrary timelines for each activity. They could be very general (2 weeks to hire, 2
weeks to train) or they could dive much deeper (1 week to write hiring ad, 1 week to place ad, 2 weeks
to accept applications, 1 week to review, 3 weeks for interviews, 1 week for offer-letters, 2 weeks to
establish in HR system, etc.). Do this for each section of the CLC Business Plan.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student
Success Center. An abstract is not required.
