PRO600 UMUC Amazon Leadership and Teamwork Practices
Project Plan
Directions: Working together with your team, create a shared project plan for completing the white paper and presentation. All team members should contribute their ideas and work in collaboration to develop the agreement. You are welcome to use an external collaborative tool such as a Google Doc if that works for your team. You should modify the document template below to suit your plan.
The plan should divvy up the research into the case study and develop a strategy for writing. Will each member of the team write his/her “piece” to inform the collective paper? Will you draft an outline first? Will each write on a theme? How will all team members contribute ideas, while achieving an integrated work product with a professional unified voice?
Upon completion, distribute a finished copy of the plan to each member. Every member should “electronically” sign the copy. The last person to sign should post a copy with signatures in the team area of the classroom.

Case Study (cases not on the list are subject to approval) |
Amazon Leadership Practices. |
The Project Plan |
To research the leadership and teamwork practices of Amazon and what aspects of their practices have failed or succeeded. |
Discuss how the team will handle research. |
Amazon has 14 leadership principles the company believes; each team member could choose two of the principles to research. |
Discuss the team’s approach to writing and editing the paper. |
Create an outline to discuss first on how the paper will flow. Each team member will provide an edited version of their research so that once submitted to the team leader the document just needs to be formatted properly and inserted into the paper based off the outline. Before the final paper is submitted it will be reviewed by the whole team as well as the EWC. |
Provide any other planning notes. |
Make adjustments to research if current topic is not producing enough information for research. |
Acknowledgment of Agreement | |
We actively participated in the development of this project plan and agree to abide by it. |
