SCOPE STATEMENT/WBS EXERCISE Instructions: Continuing to use your Business Case project, this exercise will require you to complete a scope statement similar to Exhibit 7.4 on page 219 of the Kloppenborg textbook. However, your Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria need to be more detailed and specific than those listed in the textbook exhibit (more detail is provided below). Copy and paste your Business Case. Draft a detailed scope description for this project. This should provide details on the project scope that would justify the six (6) Deliverables to be identified. This should be about a paragraph long. Provide six (6) key deliverables that are required within the project. Then, state the Acceptance Criteria for considering these Key Deliverables completed. Acceptance Criteria need to follow SMART criteria. That means these need to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely. This exercise only needs to identify six (6) potential deliverables in the project. Deliverables are sub-projects that need to be completed to ensure completion of the overall project. So basically, you are breaking down the sub-project into smaller "bites." The six (6) Deliverables you select do not need to add up to the overall project or to re-phrase, you are not breaking the project into six (6) equal pieces. You are just identifying six (6) of what may be numerous Deliverables. Project management, project budget, and project charter are not Deliverables. Project Initiation, Project Monitoring and Controlling, and Project Closing are phases of project management and not Deliverables. Your Acceptance Criteria is the situation that exists to demonstrate that the Deliverable has been completed. For instance, a Deliverable for a home renovation could be "Paint the bedroom," which would have a potential Acceptance Criteria of "Bedroom has been painted Desert Rose Tan, all outlet covers/switch plates have been replaced, and all painter's tape removed." A project team member can look at the bedroom and see that the room is painted tan, all fixture covers are replaced, and all tape is removed from the window and trim. This Deliverable can be "accepted" as complete. Acceptance Criteria should be drafted in the past tense, representing this has been completed. Project Title: Partners in Education Project in Minneapolis Public Schools Business Case: Part 1: I have selected the Minneapolis Public Schools Partners in Education Project as the project of interest for this assignment. The internet link to this project can be found here: https://partnersineducationmpls.org. This project falls within the budget range of $500,000 to $10,000,000 with an estimated timeline of 18 months.

SCOPE STATEMENT/WBS EXERCISE Specifically, the Partners in Education project is a coordinated effort by the Minneapolis Public Schools to partner schools, families, and community organizations to support student experience and success (Randolph et al., 2022). This project is new in terms of all the partnerships and services it offers to the Minneapolis Public Schools, with a definite beginning and ending, making it time-bound. It includes several related tasks, such as launching cultural proficiency pieces of training and developing collaborative community partnerships to create a unique product or service- increased student success. This project fits the first element, "new," because it has only recently been undertaken in the Minneapolis Public Schools (Randolph et al., 2022). This project introduces a fresh, new concept by bringing together various stakeholders to impact student success positively. The second element of a project, "time-bound," is met because this project has a definite beginning and end. It has an estimated timeline of 18 months, from October 2019 to March 2021. The third element of a project involves "several related and interdependent tasks," this project meets this criterion because it brings together many different features. Partners in Education works with schools, families, and community organizations to provide better student services (Randolph et al., 2022). It also implements several new programs and initiatives to increase engagement and success in the Minneapolis Public Schools. The project is unifying all of these elements into one cohesive goal- increased success of students. The fourth element of a project, "create a unique product or service," is also met in this project. By partnering with schools, families, and community organizations, this project will create a unique product or service in the form of increased student success in the Minneapolis Public Schools. This will be accomplished by providing students and their families with better tools, services, and resources. Part 2: This project's title is: "Partners in Education Project in Minneapolis Public Schools: Developing Collaborative Partnerships and Implementing Cultural Proficiency Trainings to Increase Student Success (2019-2021)". The Partners in Education Project of the Minneapolis Public Schools seeks to bring together schools, families, and community organizations to create better student services and resources. This project has an estimated budget of $7 million and a time frame of 18 months, from October 2019 to March 2021. Partners in Education aims to increase student engagement, improve academic success, and better equip families for student success. This project will require the coordination of various stakeholders and partners. School and community members will be consulted and engaged to build relationships supporting student achievement (Moua et al., 2019). Partners in Education will also develop and offer culturally proficient training to administrators, school staff, and community members. Through these trainings, partners in Education will grow awareness around student identities, experiences, and learning needs. Partners in Education will also develop a network of community organizations and partnerships to increase collaboration and problem-solving. Additionally, families of Minneapolis Public Schools students will be better equipped to support their children's Education, and resources will be created to help engage students in learning at home. Through this project, the Minneapolis Public Schools can better advance the success of its students and set the foundations for a brighter future. Its scope includes an estimated budget of

SCOPE STATEMENT/WBS EXERCISE $7 million and a timeline of 18 months, from October 2019 to March 2021 (Bishop et al., 2021). Partners in Education will create a unique product by developing relationships, providing training, and equipping families with the resources they need to increase student success
