Important note for the writer: This is a project which is in continuation with the last assignment of the same subject. I am sending you all the details of my assignment which I have submitted along with all the necessary documents that needs to be followed in this assignment. It is a bit tricky project so please ensure that you give more focus on its quality.
I am doing a project for an organisation named Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital in India. And I am designing a Patient feedback survey and providing an Implementation plan to the organisation.( Please note that I am not going to conduct a survey just design a survey questionnaire)and provide a good implementation plan.
Please provide my assignment on time.
I am attaching files to it . Feel free to contact me or email me at any time.
Attachments named ‘assignment2(2) is my project proposal which I have sumbitted and according to that please make an interim project report. I am adding two examples of how to make an interim report to match the standards of the assignment.

Introduction
This assignment contributes 20% of your final mark for ALS.
In project management, continued progress (and funding) is often dependent upon periodic reports such as an interim report.
The report should be prepared in the style of a project report from your project organization, but nevertheless be written as an academic paper to meet the University requirements for this subject. This means there needs to be appropriate degree of citation and academic referencing.
Consider the audience and purpose of an interim project report. It should detail the progress of your project. Interim results are useful to support of the project continuation by your sponsoring organisation. Brevity and clarity of expression are essential requirements.
Structure
The structure of the report ‘tells the story’ of your project to date, and enables the reader to see that you have met the requirements of the project brief. (If variations have arisen in the course of the work unfolding we need to be able to see what variations occurred, why they occurred, and how they were dealt with).
There may be deliverables other than the project report – e.g. you may have produced a plan, questionnaire or a policy or a budget, and these may be either a part of your project report, or included as an appendix.
One important way in which this report may differ from others you have produced for work is that we require a review of what the relevant literature contributes to your project, both in the background sections and in the discussion. Depending on the project, this may be structured as a separate section, or it may be integrated into your analysis. We are looking for evidence that you have reviewed the peer-reviewed literature for academic evidence, that you have read what others have said, and that you have applied it (where feasible) to your approach. The ‘grey literature’ (e.g. major policy documents or reviews) may be as important as academic research sources; most projects need to use evidence from both sources. The academic literature will be even more important when you turn to the your final draft article assignment, so you need to be sure you are well-versed in it from now onwards. It is also worth noting that organisations are now seeking to use evidence for policy and management practice more so than in the past, so this will add value to the report to the sponsoring organisation.
This report needs to make sense to people who are not familiar with your work as well as those who know it well; and that more than one of the academic staff for this subject will be reading your report, and only one will be familiar with your topic area. Your organization may require specific headings in your report, in which case please use those, otherwise you may find it useful to use these components or headings in your report.

The report should advise the audience (i.e. your funders)
Is your project on time and on budget?
If not,
can the project timeline and budget be regained?
If so, what strategies will you recommend to ensure the project can regain its timelines and or budget?
If the project timeline and budget cannot be regained
What additional resources can you seek?
Can time-lines be altered? Are there any interim results, and do they support the continuation of the project? (Beware, the temptation will be to discuss this at length and at the expense of other important management needs).
The word count on this report is intentionally brief – you are encouraged to consider ways in which interim data can be represented concisely. An overview of results, using summary tables and diagrams supported by a minimum of exposition but yet sufficient to ensure clarity to a reader unfamiliar with your project should be included if you indeed have any results at this time (some may not).
Finally, we recommend that you initiate the document that will become the project report as early as possible in the project – finalising it will be easier if you’ve added relevant material as you go (starting with key parts of the project proposal). Base your report on the excellent work already achieved in your project proposal and ethics applications – in many respects this report is a continuation of those works.
Marking criteria for Assessment 4: Interim Project Report
1.
The report includes an Abstract / Executive Summary which succinctly summarises the project to date, with a focus on the progress of your process.
5%
2.
An Introduction explains the organisational and operational context of the project so that the reader can understand how the project fits into the organisation, as well as any major constraints. The rationale for the project is presented in a clear and substantive manner.
5%
3.
A Background or Literature Review identifies the current relevant peer-reviewed literature.
5%
4.
The Methods section describes your project design, data collection strategy, and data analysis design. The methods are sound, justified, and have been implemented appropriately.
Ethical aspects of the project design and data collection are included. The HEC approval number is provided where relevant. All variations from the Ethics Application and Approval are identified, are reasonable, and have been submitted as recommendations for consideration and approval by the sponsoring organisation and HEC.
10%
5.
Provisional outcomes (preliminary/interim results) are summarised and, where appropriate, illustrated. Data presented in graphs is discussed within the narrative.
10%
6.
Interim Deliverables (linked to the proposal objectives) are reported.
10%
7.
An appropriate Discussion is included, which discusses both any interim reports (where relevant) and the management of the project to date.
Supporting documentation is provided for the project management discussion (as appendices):
Gantt Chart showing progress to date and any variances
Expenditure to date and budget variance
Stakeholder management plan and variances
Risk Assessment Plan, variances, and mitigation
It is likely that since the project plan was devised additional steps may have become apparent. These should be documented in your report, and described in a short commentary. Any outstanding tasks and challenges are presented (and say if there are none). If there are variations or delays there is a brief description of the proposed mitigation strategy.
