Starting Your Project Plan
In Unit I, you were required to develop and submit a project idea. Your instructor should have provided you with
either the okay to proceed with your idea or some feedback so that you can make changes. Once you have
this feedback, you will be able to make any needed modifications to your project idea, and then you may start
putting together your project plan.
Also, in Unit I, you were provided with an outline for your final project plan. For the assignment in this unit, refer
to your unit lesson and required unit resources to begin to draft your project plan, which should include the
components listed below.
1. Project Overview: This section should include a brief background description of the project, including
motivation, goals and objectives, success criteria, major project deliverables, and identified constraints.
o 1.1 Purpose, Scope and Objectives, and Business Case (In these sections, be sure to include how you will
measure project success.)
o 1.1.1 Scope: The project scope may be described in general terms. Include a problem statement, detailed
steps in requirements gathering, information gathering, project constraints, alternatives analysis, and business
case documentation. Be sure to describe the techniques used to derive the requirements for this project.
o 1.1.2 Statement of Work (SOW): Include key milestones, resource requirements, risks and concerns, and
acceptance criteria.
o 1.1.3 Business Case: Include the business needs to be satisfied, the feasibility of the project, a description of
internal and external forces likely to affect the project, a comparative analysis of the costs and benefits of this
project over alternative solutions, and time estimates to return on investment. Identify how the satisfaction of
business needs will be determined.
o 1.2 Project Deliverables: List the major items or project features to be delivered to the client.
o 1.3 Project Organization: List all project team members, their specific roles, and the project organization
hierarchy. Where appropriate, indicate joint responsibilities between the project manager and functional

Sample Solution

s regarding environmental issues as a threat but this do by a referent object in a specific social, political, linguistic structure. (Stritzel, 2007) The vague conceptualisation of the specific referent object as mentioned by the Copenhagen School – need the post-structural position created by the second generation of securitisation scholars where they stress the importance of the role the audience play along with setting the socio-political environment. (Salter, 2008) The purpose of this essay was to assess critically the strengths and weaknesses of the securitisation theory. After discussing the concept of the securitisation theory as conceptualised by the Copenhagen School, the essay went on to discuss how the theory was developed by second generation of securitization scholars by focusing on “what conditions the social content and meaning of security produced threats.” (Balzacq, 2010) The essay then went on to discuss the stance the Aberystwyth School had on the voice of the audience and finally, the idea of environmental securitisation was discussed. It can be argued that security may not be a negative practice, which as discussed above involves the use of hard power but instead the emancipation from the “relative objectivism” affecting both traditional stance on security and the Copenhagen School work. Therefore, it can be said that the concept of security can be revised to provide a unified position on security. In regard to the securitisation of environmental degradation, environmental issues can be tackled rather than those issues being exploited politically. This essay has provided a range of strength and weaknesses to the Securitisation theory.
