BUSI 681 Advanced Project Management II Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · MBA · Business and accounting · Updated

BUSI 681 completes Liberty's advanced project management pair, taking Gray and Larson's text from reducing project duration, project leadership and teams through outsourcing, earned value, closure, international projects and agile methods. The samples keep the composite water utility from BUSI 680 and follow its capital projects manager through all eight weeks: four Part 1 threads, four synthesized group replies and both halves of a project model that plans the replacement of 420 lead service lines.

What BUSI 681 covers

Each module assigns one chapter, 9 through 16, and one presentation, and closes with a 30-question open-book quiz limited to 45 minutes; the opening week adds the requirements checklist and introductions, and Module/Week 2 adds the ungraded topic submission for the project model.

Forum Part 1 threads of 500 to 750 words are due in Module/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 for 50 points, and the group's 450-to-600-word synthesized Part 2 reply follows each a week later for 25, both needing three peer-reviewed sources and a biblical integration; Project Model Part 1, a proposal form, responsibility matrix, risk assessment matrix and stakeholder communication plan, is due in Module/Week 6 and Part 2 in Microsoft Project in Module/Week 8, each worth 150 points.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes BUSI 681 Advanced Project Management II this way:
This is the second of a two-course series covering advanced topics in Project Management, cross-referenced with PMBOK concepts. Topical coverage includes: reducing project duration, leading and managing project teams, outsourcing, progress and performance measurement and evaluation, project closure, and agile project management.

Where BUSI 681 papers lose points

BUSI 681 submissions lose marks when a group reply stitches members' threads together without a shared argument, when a project model topic is too large to schedule in detail, when the Microsoft Project file lists tasks without links, rates or resource assignments, and when Part 2's budget, roles and dates no longer match what Part 1 promised.

Using a BUSI 681 sample well

The samples draw on research about adding staff to late projects and overlapping development stages, project manager leadership, trust and executive sponsors, team development and virtuality, partnering and relational contracting, earned value forecasting accuracy, conflict and mutual knowledge in distributed teams, cultural diversity in work groups, risk matrices, lead service line replacement and scheduling under uncertainty.

BUSI 681 questions, answered

What is the BUSI 681 project model?

A two-part case study on a project the student chooses: Part 1 in Module/Week 6 holds a proposal form, responsibility matrix, risk assessment matrix and stakeholder communication plan, and Part 2 in Module/Week 8 builds the project in Microsoft Project, 150 points each.

How do BUSI 681 group forums work?

The instructor assigns groups; each member posts a 500-750-word Part 1 thread, and the group then writes one synthesized 450-600-word Part 2 reply, each citing three or more peer-reviewed sources with a biblical integration.

What textbook does BUSI 681 use?

Gray and Larson's Project Management: The Managerial Process, chapters 9 to 16, from reducing project duration and leading teams through outsourcing, earned value, closure, international projects and agile project management.
