DNP Project Timeline
This assignment is required to submit a timeline relative to our selected DNP Project. The purpose of this activity is to systematically identify all work that is needed to execute a project. A timeline provides an overview of the project management and interrelated tasks to be completed by certain dates. Project management is a process of coordinating a project and directing team members to meet the defined goals and objectives identified for a student's specific DNP project. A timeline includes work to be completed each week and/or month and should define the length of time when the project will be completed. A timeline serves to keep team members and other key stakeholders who are involved in the project on track as a means of communication. Stakeholder meetings should be included in the timeline to validate the project is on track.
*The timeline will consist of a breakdown of project activities, work tasks needed to complete the activities, time and resources needed to accomplish the plan. Four overarching processes are to be included in the timeline:
Four Overarching Project Processes
1). DNP Project Development
• Project implementation steps
• Proposal development
• Human subjects training
• IRB preparation & submission
2). Implementation Processes & Procedures
• Letter(s) of permission
• Necessary resources
• Direct/indirect costs
• Stakeholder training/development
3). Data Collection & Evaluation
• Data collection methods
• Data analysis/interpretation
4). Project Closure
• Refinement & development of final manuscript
• Dissemination of scholarly project
• Submission to library repository
Overall structure for this assignment: timeline aligns to DNP project, overall work breakdown structure included, predictions for work completion, professional appearance and overall structured logical sequence, and accurate spelling and grammar.
