Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment.

Note:

– As a hint, you should have an intro paragraph, 3 sections in the paper body (1 for each question) and a closing paragraph.

– In question 1 you must clearly state the project management methodology (i.e Top down, waterfall, etc) you are using and then apply it to the trip project.  As another hint there are 4 places you are considering going to.

– When you discuss cost in question 2 I need to see real values…this means you will do some research on costs.  Not looking for you to be a travel agent and provide costs to the penny but there should be enough data to be able to make a decision of where to go based on cost alone.  Costs should include more than just an airline ticket (think of when you go on a trip and all the other costs involved in taking a trip like hotel, food, etc).  As a hint, the easiest way to show, compare, discuss the costs is to place them in a matrix with the various locations you are going to and show the total cost.

– When the 3rd question asks for non-cost; I need to see at least 2 non-cost items discussed and how they are impacting your decision on where to go; only discuss non-cost items (you already have discussed cost in question 2).  For example do not discuss money exchange rates here….that would be a cost factor.  Something like the weather would be a non-cost item….and since I just gave you that one, weather cannot be one of your 2 items discussed.

– In your conclusion I should see your recommendation of where to go based on your paper discussion/findings.  This is where you have looked at both the cost and non cost factors to make a decision.  You may find that cost might outweigh the non-cost items or possibly it is the other way around where non-cost drives the decision or possibly a combination of them both.  The purpose of the assignment is to help you gain insight that when you are working on a project you should consider all factors involved and not rush to a decision based on one factor.
