            Side note from instructor:

1. Your response should be between 15 -20 pages only, including all auxilliary pages such as Title page, Reference page and Table of Content.

2. This research project requires you to tie together the key components of project management.

3. Ensure all responses you provide (including numbers and facts) are supported with information from the journal, or where necessary, provide appropriate assumptions and additional information from external sources. However facts from the journal will trump all external sources. This journal including all other external sources should be correctly referenced.

4. Use effective APA in-text citation to help the reader know exactly where you are picking your facts from. 

5. Your groups should help you bounce off ideas off each other, since no one person knows it all. 

6. If there are any questions or clarifications needed, the PM may contact me. All the best!
