Assignment 1 (20 points) Due Date: July 27th 2013 The case assignment is a group assignment and is based on A&D High Tech (A): Managing Projects for Success (Case Packet). Please use the spreadsheet A&DHighTechA_Exhibits.xls downloadable from LMES. The CIO of A&D High Tech, Matt Webb, needs to determine whether the proposed online store project can be completed in time for the holiday shopping season. A new project manager, Chris Johnson, has taken over the management of the project. He has all of the components of the plan, but he needs to integrate them and is looking to quickly come up with an answer. Please prepare an executive summary for the CIO (Max 2 pages, excluding Appendix). You may consider the following question (among others) to help you with the executive summary: 1. What is the projected completion date? (Assume there are no holidays and ignore the sunk cost of the planning team’s effort.)What is the total cost? How much of the total costs are labor? costs? Capital costs? What is the critical path(s) in the project? 2. What are the risks in the project? How would you mitigate the risk? 3. What is your opinion on the potential for the project to be completed on time? Please also be prepared to present the executive summary to the CIO (power point, max 4 slides, excluding Appendix) on 27th July during the ISOM 5460 class1. The CIO and other members of the board are likely to ask questions about your plan.
