Your report should describe both the research methodology and the information gathered from all the relevant sources. This should allow you to make some general comments and observations.
At a minimum, you should include:
• An introduction - provide a brief description of the purpose of the report. Present the definitions or model of project quality management that underpins your work;
• Trends, research findings and assumptions;
• Data collection – describe your respondent’s commentary;
• Discussion/synthesis – describe what you found and what you think it means. What is the gap between actual and desired processes and outcomes and what appears to cause it? What are they doing well? What are they doing badly (refer to the theory).
• Recommendations. How can they close the gap – references to theory are expected. These must be correctly cited in-text and as end references.
You will submit a report of no more than 2500 words covering, at least, all the elements listed above which will be in a scholarly style adhering to the APA referencing.
SUBMISSION (Applicable to both Part 1 & Part 2 of the assignment)
