This course will provide students with an opportunity to apply the essential skills and knowledge they have learned throughout the Project Management Professional Development Certificate program, in a real-world setting. Working in pre-assigned groups, students will deliver a set of standard project management deliverables, as well as specific deliverables outlined by the partner agency. Groups will compete to deliver the best product for the same project. At the end students present their findings to the partner agency.

For each Capstone project, students deliver a standard set of project management deliverables, as well as project specific deliverables, as listed below.

1. Project Charter: Addresses the Capstone activities, may also serve as a project deliverable
2. Stakeholder Register: Describes the stakeholders, may also serve as a project deliverable
3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): a visual outlining the activities on the project
4. Schedule: a visual, showing milestones and dependencies
5. Risk Register: not focused on student activities, tailored to the Capstone project products
6. Budget: not focused on student activities, tailored to the products/outcome of the Capstone project deliverables
7. Project Status Report: produced twice during the term, outlining alignment to original plan
