Combining Final Paper:
This week you will assemble your work into one comprehensive management report for the client. The report should include all work from the previous six weeks. When compiling your work into one report for this assignment, do NOT condense the report. The report should include the entire body of work you have completed for the first six weeks of this class. Add an introduction to tell the client what you studied and a conclusion to tell the client your conclusions.
The simplest way to do your Week Seven report is to set up your document and add to the report each week as you complete your weekly papers.
You can copy and paste your Week 3 and 5 papers into your Week Seven document but be certain to write a transition paragraph at the beginning of each of the sections so that the Week Seven Final Report flows properly. Remember that this is what you would be submitting to your client, so be sure to order your combined assignment title page, table of contents, week 3’s assignment, week 5’s assignment, week 7’s part 1, conclusion, and finally references.
You also should copy and paste all of your past references into the final Week Seven document references section.
You can and should use section titles and subtitles to make your report more visually appealing and facilitate communicating your message to your client. This will help with your table of contents.
I will attach my week 3 and 5 papers. I need you to Complete a 1 or more page paper indicating whether or not you are making any adjustments or modifications to your solutions based on your reassessment.

And then combine the work into one comprehensive management report for the client. The report should include all work from the previous weeks. When compiling your work into one report for this assignment, do NOT condense the report. The report should include the entire body of work you have completed for this class.

You need to add a screenshot to your paper for your project schedule if you use a non-MS Project application. This way the instructor can view your submission.
Once you create your Microsoft Project schedule, create a column for resources and add the resources associated with the activities in your schedule. Make sure that you not only consider human resources but also other physical resources. This exercise will help you more accurately assign costs later in this course.
