[Remember, this is a basic template. You should use both the IWU APA7eGuide.pdf and your APA 7th Edition Publication Manual to prepare your paper. Throughout this template, remove the prompted information in the brackets [], including this reminder.]
Introduction
[In the introduction section, provide an overview of the topic you have selected. Sub-sections in the introduction should include an overview of the topic, the reason for selecting the topic, and the importance of the project in light of the knowledge gained throughout your course work (Typical length 1 to 2 pages)].
Problem Statement
[Provide a review of the background of the topic area. As an example, if the topic were cloud computing, what factors have influenced the use of this technology? What factors were most important in the emergence of cloud computing? Every technology innovation stems from a past historical computing perspective. Provide some insights on what has driven the topic you will be basing your capstone project on. (Typical length 2 to 3 pages)]
Discussion of Problem
[This is the section or sections that will provide the details on your project. The general form of this part of the project is up to you. You know the topic area. You are the subject matter expert. You may create as many sub-sections as necessary in relating the project information. (Typical length depends on the topic)]
Presentation of Potential Solutions
[Provide a discussion of various potential solutions that could resolve the problem you identified earlier. Be sure to offer sufficient background on each potential solution to assist management in understanding the possible solutions versus the one you will subsequently recommend in the next section. (Typical 4 to 5 pages)]
Discussion of the Proposed Solution
This section should introduce the proposed solution you are recommending to management. You need to provide several sub-sections that provide a detailed understanding of the solution, why it is being recommended, details on how the solution would be implemented, and a basic project schedule for completing the project. You may provide a brief financial budget if desired; however, a budget is not necessary. (Typical length 5 to 6 pages)]
Conclusion
[Provide a succinct conclusion to the project. Include a brief paragraph that summarizes your project, provides an overview of your processes and procedures, and restates the suggestions and recommendations you make for the project. (Typical length 1 to 2 pages)]
References
[You should provide a minimum of 10 references that support the importance of your project and any supporting literature or other sources you have used in developing your project. You must use APA 7th edition for your references and the accompanying citations in the text of the paper. The basic layout of references is shown below, with correct indentation. Again, you need to be aware of the formatting requirements of APA 7th edition. See the IWU APA7eGuide.pdf and the APA 7th Edition Publication Manual].
