Technology Project Plan 2
Introduction
Recently, the College of Continuing Studies (CCS) experienced a major
restructuring for Instructional Design process. Under the new process, instructional
designers will work in teams to design courses, instead of working individually. The new
process added senior designer positions designated to archiving, training and media
management. In addition to creating those positions, the college also added an
Instructional Technology Assistant to manage the flow of content into Blackboard Learn
as the Instructional Designers complete their manuscripts. Due to the collaborative
nature of the new process, we needed a project management software to help keep
track of courses. This software would also allow team members to definitively know the
next step within the process. As the new Instructional Technology Assistant, this new
software would be beneficial to my duties in keeping track of what courses need
migration into Blackboard Learn and their respective due date.
The focus of this project is to select and implement the project
management software, Wrike. Wrike is designed for multiple users to: (1) monitor
projects, (2) assign tasks, and (3) ensure completion prior to the project’s deadline. The
intent of this document is to create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as an initial plan
for implementing the Wrike software. This document will include the following
