Final Project Overview

Scenario

You are a GIS Manager for a non-profit environmental organization where you lead a small team of GIS Analysts. A pre-proposal your organization submitted for a funding opportunity made it past the first round of review. You received an invitation to present your proposal to a panel of reviewers, who will choose between your organization and a pool of competitors for the project award.

Your job is to design a GIS work plan, summarize it in a visual presentation, and convince the panel of judges that your team is the best choice. Your role as a leader is to think through the potential opportunities and obstacles, provide a vision for your team to implement and bring in the project.

At the successful completion of the Final Project, you will:

apply concepts and tools from previous lessons;
design a Visual GIS Work Plan;
consider your target audience and their requirements;
persuade a client to hire you and your GIS team.
