Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a polished business presentation consisting of a formatted and revised business letter, a dynamic spreadsheet, and a formatted and revised slide presentation.
In the professional environments of today, one of the most important and frequently used tools for communicating information is an office productivity suite such as Microsoft Office. Office productivity suites consist of bundled applications designed to help users create various deliverables such as word-processing documents, spreadsheets, and slide presentations. Your ability to select an appropriate application based on key specifications and to use various tools and functions within the application to create polished professional deliverables will be critical for successful communication and collaboration with clients and stakeholders in any field you pursue.
In this project, you will take the role of a business analyst and apply essential skills and techniques within office productivity applications to prepare three related professional deliverables: a business letter, a spreadsheet, and a slide presentation. Review the Final Project Scenario document to learn more about the simulated business case.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at different points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure a quality final submission. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Four. The final submission is due in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply appropriate tools within office productivity applications for supporting the creation of professional-quality documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
Integrate key business specifications into a variety of office productivity suite applications for ensuring effective deliverables
Apply appropriate style and formatting conventions in creating professional documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
Apply fundamental best practices for revision within office productivity applications for the finalization of a professional-quality document and presentation
