This capstone course enables you to apply the project management knowledge and tools developed throughout the Specialization by producing a coherent set of core planning deliverables for a project of your choice or a provided case study. You will draft a narrative project charter statement, define scope through a work breakdown structure (WBS), sequence activities, and develop an integrated schedule and budget. You will also clarify team roles using a responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) and identify key project risks with appropriate response strategies. The course emphasizes independent research and practical decision-making, with capstone deliverables evaluated through AI‑graded assessments aligned to the course rubric.
By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Develop a narrative project charter statement that defines purpose, objectives, scope boundaries, and key stakeholders. - Create a work breakdown structure (WBS) that decomposes project scope into manageable deliverables and work packages. - Sequence project activities by identifying dependencies and logical relationships among tasks. - Build a project schedule using activity durations, sequencing, and milestones to produce a feasible timeline. - Create a project budget by estimating costs and aligning them to the WBS and schedule. - Create a responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) that clarifies roles, ownership, and accountability for project work. - Identify project risks and define appropriate response strategies (e.g., avoid, mitigate, transfer, accept) aligned to risk exposure.
This section will prepare you for your capstone project and final peer review. It will also answer any questions you might have about the project assignment, the grading rubric, and what you can expect in the upcoming weeks together.
