“Related to course you are studying.” I’m taking a coding course.

Assignment Instructions

Scenario:  Technical managers are often required to explain technologies and make business cases to leadership.  Technology managers need the skills to summarize and assess technical articles and publications.  Then they need to make and pitch a business case to non-technical leadership/executives.  In my experience, managers that are capable of getting buy-in from leadership are more effective.  

Assignment:  

Find a technical article on the web that is related to the course you are studying.  Write 3 independent sections based on the article. (Summary, Assessment, and Business Case).  Each section should be independent from each other.  For example, The business case should not refer to your summary or assessment sections.  Be sure to use headings for each section.   

Summary: 

The first paragraph should summarize the article.

Assessment: 

The assessment should be focused on what you think/learned about the article. 

Business Case: 

The business case is your business pitch to executive leadership.  This section should be very professional and you should stay away from personal pronouns such as “I” or “you” but instead focus on the company and business objectives.
