Capstone Project Introduction and Background Known or identified problems are often addressed through the implementation of new technologies, business policies or operational procedures. However, promising new technology approaches and procedural changes need to be considered carefully before implementation in an enterprise. Each student must submit an individual capstone project paper for successful completion of their designated degree program. This written exam paper demonstrates mastery of curriculum based knowledge and skills as well as literature-based research skills and APA format and citation requirements. The final capstone paper should be approximately 25 -30 pages and conform to APA guidelines for citation and reference. Week 1: Project Proposal Describe in 2-3 sentences (a short paragraph) the project proposal that contains the following:

Section 1
Introduction
1.1 Description of Organization (Template guide: Do not identify the name specific name
of your organization)
Clearly and concisely describe the organization that is the focus of your paper. You
should use an anonymous name for the organization and describe it as best as possible using
at least the following attributes:
1.1.1 Evolution of the organization (history) 1.1.2 Core Functions 1.1.3 Enabling Technologies
1.2 Business Problem
Describe the business problem that is being faced or perceived by the organization
you work for or are studying. Identify what parts of the organization are affected by the
problem and what benefits might be gained by the resolution of the problem. Do not present
solutions here; just describe what the problem is, its affects, and how a solution to it will
improve the situation.
1.3 Supporting Research (Template guide: You must include a minimum of 3 sources)
In this section, present information about the extent to which this type of problem
affects other companies. Determine whether this is perceived as a larger problem that affects
companies providing similar products or services. Use the library or other online
resources to determine if anything has been published that describes the problem or offers
an understanding of how significant it is beyond the individual company you are
investigating. Remember to cite your sources within your narrative and in your reference
list!

problem, or someone who has been given responsibility to address the problem.

Section 3
Solutions
3.1 Potential Solutions (Template guide You may use a table to show how you evaluated
your options)
There is usually more than one way to address a problem. However, the results and
risks vary with each proposed solution. Investigate possible solutions by using the online
library or interviewing people given the responsibility to resolve the problem. Describe as
well as possible at least 2-3 different approaches to the problem. Remember to cite the
sources of your information both within the narrative and the reference list, including
interviews!
In this section, if applicable, you may also describe any previous attempts the
organization has made to resolve this problem. Describe the success or failure of these
attempts. Analyze why these attempts may have or have not worked. This section may
require you to conduct interviews from different perspectives to get a true picture of what
went right or wrong.

Recommendations
4.1 Recommended Solution
In this section describe the solution you are proposing and the rationale you have
from making this recommendation. If there is evidence of this solution being used to solve
similar problems that you have found in articles, cite them here. Identify the resources

4.2 Implementation Considerations
In this section describe how you think the implementation of solution will benefit the
organization. Make sure you describe this in context of business measures (financial gain,
