I am stuck with this assignment.
Creating an Assessment Timeline[WLOs: 1, 4] [CLO: 1]
In any assessment process, it is necessary to ensure your project stays on task and will meet established deadlines. This assessment is no different. In the Community Needs Assessment – Hopkins Park, IL Download Community Needs Assessment – Hopkins Park, IL https://uagc.instructure.com/courses/144449/files/23014919?wrap=1file, you will note a hypothetical project management chart using the Monday system. Prior to beginning work on this assignment, visit Monday.comLinks to an external sitehttp://www.monday.com/.. This website is free and allows you to track and organize various activities, like community assessments.
For your Week 1 assignment, you will need to create your own project plan using the Monday website. You are encouraged to copy the project headings in the example. Where yours will differ is in the due dates, status markings, and timelines. As you are completing this in Week 1, most everything will have a status of “Not Started,” which is perfectly acceptable. Review the Community Needs Assessment – Hopkins Park, IL Download Community Needs Assessment – Hopkins Park, ILhttps://uagc.instructure.com/courses/144449/files/23014919?wrap=1file for examples.
