Team Project Overview
You have been brought together as a team representing the stakeholders in a small hospital with many physicians. The physicians must be credentialed, or approved and verified, before they can work at the hospital. Your task is to help the stakeholders come to agreement on the credentialing application to purchase and implement. As a Project Manager and team, you will take the company through the selection process, integration, implementation, and Go Live.
Project lists
• Choose a product to implement; Add resources.
• Structure the project plan in MS Project.
• Assign resources.
• The expectation is the project will start now and Go Live on October 1st so schedule the project accordingly.
• Keep in mind the dependencies for each task that you will learn about during the process mapping exercise.
• Each team member, and others as determined by your team will be assigned tasks as resources for the project.
Project Deliverables - 2 MS Project files + PowerPoint presentation file + presentation practice video
• Project Plan (WBS) - MS Project file with assigned resources, dates, process flow (dependencies), task grouping, and a reasonable Gannt Chart.
• Final step, changing the date on your project to start to next year instead of this year. This final step will prove if you have correctly setup you project file. 
• Change the date for the entire project, not each task. Make sure to open your final project plan for this    year, save it as the next year version, then make your date change. remember to use a naming convention that tells me the year of the Project Plan.
•  Incremental Project Deliverables - Team Assignments
• Assignment 1 (Process Mapping)
• Assignment 2 (Budget) - This should be an Excel file. 
• Make sure to perform calculations in Excel so that I do not need to assume the item or total costs. 
• Associated costs with vendors should be included in the project planning process.

        I have worked with Rashid in adjacent groups for the past few quarters, along with working alongside him in our shared work-study function in the Information Systems Department at TCC. The first thing I noticed about Rashid was his outgoing and friendly demeanor. Along with that, Rashid has developed his technical skills at a rapid pace. Often we will get enveloped in a discussion about networking or security subjects and it is evident from his enthusiasm and experience that he has a passion for his work and his aspirations for the future. Whatever the  project may call for, any professional team would benefit greatly from his input and attitude.
