Kaplan University MT400 unit 7 assignment

Unit 7: Assignment

Our book describes the implement phase as “the phase where all the designed and developed

process improvements will actually be ‘brought to life’.” The execution of the implementation can

make or break a project, regardless of its perfection in design. In this Assignment, you will apply

three of the implement phase steps to your project.

For this Assignment, write a 4–6 page paper (double spaced, not including title page or

references) that answers the following questions (use the subheadings/numbered questions

below to organize your paper):

Question 1 – Implementation strategies

Evaluate the suitability of the four implementation strategies discussed in step 2 for your project.

For each strategy explain the specific pros and cons of using it for your project, and then select

the one you think will work the best in your situation.

Question 2 – Test and pilot studies

Based on the discussion in step 5 describe how you would do a test or a pilot study before you

go into full implementation in your project.

Question 3 – Contingency plans

Based on the discussion in step 8 discuss a back-out or a contingency plan that you would

adopt if your implementation does not go as expected.

Grading note: In the grading rubric below, you will see a section on analysis and critical

thinking. The points in this section will partly be based on your ability to apply the concepts

discussed in your assignment to the specific circumstances and details of the

process/organization you selected. Writing in general terms without applying the concepts and

analyzing your specific project may get you points in the content section, but you will lose points

in the analysis section.
