Project Life-Cycles

Read the Kitchen Heaven Project Case Study in Heldman et al. pages 84-87, 139-141, and 283-285 and read pages 190-193. (See attached MGT-440 Week 2 Project Reading)

Part 1: Action Steps Column (A)

Create a list of action steps or activities and enter them in the Inputs (the blue portion) of the Logical Framework template. Be sure to include the associated Outcome each activity (see template). For each action step/activity add at least one assumption made related to the completion of the action step/activity.

Only define the action steps required to achieve each outcome. Resources, budget and due dates will be completed in Topic 7.

Each action step/activity should contain one and only one deliverable (i.e., one document, one action completed, one delivery made)

Each outcome will consist of a minimum of five action steps/activities.
Each action step/activity will have at least one assumption.

Part 2: Project Life-Cycles

Describe, in (500) no more than 750 words, the five project life-cycles defined by Schmidt (predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, and hybrid) and justify which life-cycle should be used to complete the Kitchen Heaven Project. (Project Management read Chapter 8 pages 125-137)
