Building on Assessment 1, you are a project manager on a major project, and are now required to prepare the relevant documentation for the project budget, schedule and resources. Base your responses on current recommended practice, as described in contemporary literature and personal research into the industry of the Case Study. The focus is to be on the selection and application of appropriate theory, tools and techniques not how accurate your budget, schedule and resourcing are. 
Read your project case study carefully. As you work through these three tasks, identify any areas where you do not yet have sufficient information, and may need to ask further questions from your project sponsor. 
1.Develop an appropriate budget for the Case Study project. Include details of all assumptions you have made in preparing this budget.
2.Prepare a schedule for the Case Study project, identifying the key milestones for the project deliverables. Discuss the relative merits of the methods, tools and techniques used and compare these with any that you chose not to use.
3.Finally, estimate the resources required for successful completion of the Case Study project. Integrate this with the schedule and identify potential resourcing stress points for the “critical path” that will need careful management. Identify tools and techniques that might be used here.
A report format is acceptable, but must include explanation of the approaches used throughout the project life-cycle. Diagrams, charts, tables and illustrations may be used to communicate or describe an approach. These should be supported by a written discussion and not relied upon to tell the story themselves.

1) (3 pages) Choose a photograph that affects you in a powerful way emotionally, that brings up strong positive or negative feelings. Write about it in two ways:
– Write the facts. What can you KNOW by looking at the photograph?
– What can you imagine that is not clear in the photograph? Make up a story about what you imagine is going on in the picture; the background, location, people, weather, etc.
2) Describe an event or action you are fairly sure you will never experience firsthand. Use the first person (“I”) and be very specific–the more details you incorporate the more likely it is that your reader will believe you. Include your feelings and reactions. (1 page)
3) Visualize a place that you really love, be there, see the details. Now write about it. It could be a corner of your bedroom, an old tree you sat under one whole summer, a table at McDonald’s in your neighborhood, a place by a river. What colors are there, sounds, smells? When someone else reads it, she should know what it is like to be there. She should feel how you love it, not by your saying you love it, but by your handling of the detail. (300 pages)
4) Find 5 stories from a newspaper, popular magazine, or tabloid that seem to you to form–either partially or wholly–the basis for a story. Briefly list what each story is early in your writing practice for this assignment. 
Next, sketch out, free-write, or outline a story based on one of them that captures your imagination. Indicate where the story begins, who the main characters are, what the general tone or mood will be (dark or comic, etc.), and from whose point of view you would tell the story.
Often, these newspaper accounts will be the “end” of the story and you will have to fill in the events leading up to the more dramatic event that made the news that day. Or perhaps the story leads you to ask what is going to happen to the person now. (1 page)
