PJM Performance Dashboard
PJM6125 Project Evaluation: Performance Dashboard
Overview and Rationale
For this assignment, you will create a project performance dashboard.
Program and Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course syllabus:
LO8: Create a performancedashboard to summarize and report project performance status
In addition to these key learning outcomes, you will also have the opportunity to evidence the following skills through completing this assignment:
Critical thinking and analysis
Problem solving
Essential Components & Instructions
Throughout this course, you have used a project you selected to create a set of performance metrics, identify performance tool for each metric, and write a performance report relying on earned value. But Earned Value is only one of the evaluation tools identified by each of you. For this final assignment, you will create a performance dashboard for the project you have used throughout this course. I have included some readings on performance dashboards in the reading this week, and you have already done most of the work with your performance evaluation matrix. Here is what you need to do for this assignment:
Using the latest version of your performance evaluation matrix (make sure you have updated it with my feedback), create a performance dashboard that includes all the relevant performance evaluation tools you identified
Specifically, create a way of presenting and/or displaying the performance data in a single page or excel spreadsheet so that relevant project stakeholders could view it
In addition to creating the dashboard, you will need to provide a guide and/or legend to it. Namely, you will want to provide a few paragraphs describing who is responsible for updating and maintaining the dashboard, how frequently the different metrics will be updated, and any other relevant details you think are pertinent.
Format
As I grade you dashboards, I will be looking at the following items closely:
Does it include all the tools you identified in your performance evaluation matrix?
It is arranged in a clear and professional looking manner?
Do you provide a clear description / guide for each of the metrics?
Do you state how frequently it will be updated and by whom?
The document should be free and clear of grammatical and typographical errors
Please be sure to review the attached rubric. It along with these assignment instructions will ensure you have a solid understanding of the assignment requirements.

Food Pantry Distribution Analysis
Description:The organization is a partial choice food pantry located in a suburban Massachusetts community. Utilizing a partial choice model, clients receive food staples each month, but choose which meats, breads, pastries, dairy and produce he/she desires during each visit. As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the organization immediately transitioned to no- and low-contact food distribution methods (drive through pick-ups and home deliveries) to feed community members in need.According to the local Board of Health, limitations of the organizations physical plant will prevent clients from resuming use of the partial choice pantry even when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Utilizing recommendations from the Board of Health, the organization is seeking a sustainable method of low or no contact food distribution for the communitys vulnerable population.
Deliverables/Goal:A proposal containing at least three innovative ways to alleviate hunger, providing either food, or other assistance, to those in need, while following COVID-19 safety precautions. Also, providing recommendations to improve current distribution process while abiding with Board of Health regulations and ensuring sustainability.
