Write a 350- to 525-word summary on how you will manage the team’s resources in the face of these new timelines. Answer the following questions in your summary:

  • How many people are on your team? What are their roles? What are their skill sets? How can these be rearranged to meet the new requirements?
  • Are there enough human resources to complete the project two weeks earlier? If not, how can you increase the team’s capacity?
  • Are there aspects of the project that can be condensed or skipped? What are the implications of skipping or condensing tasks?
  • Are there costs to be considered with these changes?
  • Make sure to use APA format and cite sources.

How can you leverage what you’ve learned about solving problems in teams to meet the new project requirements? How do you intend to communicate the new requirements to the team in order to gain their buy-in?

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the characteristics of effective goal statements
  • Be able to evaluate effective goals.
  • Be able to write effective goals.

Requirements

According to one model developed to provide practical guidelines, an effective goal conforms to three “must” criteria: It expresses a specific and measurable result, and it sets a date for achieving that result. It should also only have a single result. It is not advisable to put multiple objectives together. So the goal should follow this format:

(1) To + (2) Action Verb + (3) A Single Specific and Measurable Result + (4) Target Date.

Evaluate the following six goals and complete the two required parts below.

  1. To complete the project within two weeks.
  2. To be perceived as the highest quality hotel in the tri-state by the end of 2030.
  3. To write objectives next week.
  4. To double profits in Mexico.
  5. To sell 10% more nachos and 5% more beer at the hockey game on February 20, 2021.
  6. To increase sales in 2030.

Complete the following two parts:

  • For each of the six goals, write a brief critique (2-3 sentences) based on the guidelines (the “must” criteria) provided at the beginning of this assignment.
  • Then based on your critique, please rewrite to improve these six goals.

Expectations

The assignment is effort-based, so it is important that you complete both parts of this assignment with serious effort. Incomplete, careless, or rushed work will result in deduction of points.
