What I expect you to do in this first column is identify 5 problems mention in the case study. In the second column labeled urgency identify the time period in which you feel this needs to be completed. In the third column labeled Visibility identify the impact of the problem -- high, medium or low. In the fourth column labeled annual benefits -- give me an idea of what this problems resolution would save the company in dollars -- give me a guesstimate. Then in the fifth column rank your problems in the need of resolution. Finally in the sixth column -- what is your proposed means of solution -- keep it short and sweet. Because your project could get killed at this point.
