The purpose of this Case Study assignment is to walk through the logical framework (LogFrame) and to create the project management documents needed to successfully lead a project.

 

Read the Kitchen Heaven Project Case Study in Heldman et al. pages 84-87 and complete the following:

Part 1: Logical Framework Template Column A

• Complete the      Goal, Purpose, and Outcomes (the green portion Column A) of the Logical      Framework template. NOTE: Do not rely on the content or wording in the      Project Case Study Checklist (page 86). Your work should be original and      based upon your understanding of the full scenario presented in the case.      Successfully completing the Logical Framework will yield different      results. The case provides the information required to complete each      assignment but leaves room for individual interpretation and assumptions.
• One Goal      statement is expected.
• One Purpose      statement is expected.
• A minimum of      three Outcome statements are expected.
• The Goal,      Purpose, and Outcome statements must be stated using the “Objective =      Action Verb + Object” format. Refer to Schmidt pages 34-40 for details.

Part 2: Project Charter

• Using the      information in the Logical Framework template and the case, complete the      Project Charter.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
