Activity Instructions

For this discussion, write a 2–4 sentence scope statement of your capstone project. Think of it as an “elevator speech,” something you could tell someone easily in the time it takes to ride an elevator a couple of floors.

In just 2–4 flowing, conversational sentences, cover the following:

1. What your chosen organization or topic is.
2. What the scope of your project is.
3. What problem or questions it will explore and attempt to answer.

The idea here is to really help each other develop a well written “elevator speech,” essentially a scope summary, which can be used as part of the introduction in the u05a2 assignment, Final Capstone Proposal – Individual.

Note: It is important to realize that you must earn at least a 70 out of 100 on the u05a2 assignment, Final Capstone Proposal – Individual, to pass this course. If you do not earn at least 70, you will not be prepared to do the capstone project in MBA6900, and will have to repeat this course so that you can get your proposal ready. The main reason that some learners do not pass the u05a2 proposal is because of a scope that is too broad, too narrow, or not well defined. Thus, this exercise is designed to help you in this area, so that all of you can be prepared to submit an effective capstone proposal in u05a2.
