Project 2: Project Management in an International Environment

Introduction

In this two-week project, you will work with a project team made up of your fellow students using basic project management skills to plan for the design, construction, outfitting, and stocking of a new retail store in Brazil for your US-based home improvement company. As this is the first time the company has opened a store in an international market, your team will blaze a new trail for the company and set the example for future international expansion.

This project will require you to create several deliverables using templates provided in the steps below to ensure that the new store is fully operational by the target date.
