Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
As a company, we serve the nonprofit sector. In the next phase of our work, we want to get to know our clients more extensively and understand their budgets, scope, staffing, resources, and goals. With your help, we hope to assess our customer landscape to gather this data on current clients and assess areas where we could expand.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Researching the target market through a review of annual reports, 990s, and industry databases
- Conducting a landscape assessment of existing and potential clients in the field
- Compile a report and presentation of findings with recommendations.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities.
- Research our target market through primary and secondary sources
- Identify a detailed report on organizations.
- Create a report including all research and recommendations
Final deliverables should include
- A final presentation that provides an overview of all research, findings, data, and analysis with recommendations
- A slide deck to be presented to the project manager explaining the recommendations.

- Input on choices, problems, or anything else the students might encounter.

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
