Memo To: Moja Negash Project Manager

Dear Moja Negash

Business Requirements

My team and I have identified the following resource requirements for our project. Firstly, we

must acquire new laptops for our team members and a printer and scanner to handle documentation.

Regarding software, we must have access to the latest versions of Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative

Suite, as these tools are essential for our tasks. We will also require a designated space to meet with

outside contractors, ensuring effective collaboration. Furthermore, to support our project workload, we

will need two additional staff members, which will require a budget of $4,000. Lastly, our existing

personnel must allocate 10 hours per week to work specifically on our project. These resources are

crucial for our team's success and will enable us to deliver high-quality results.

How I created an estimate for each of the resources, have listed in the attached Excel spreadsheet:

Process Used

I followed a systematic approach to derive the cost estimates for the required resources. For

hardware, I based the estimates on the current prices of laptops, printers, and scanners available on the

official Apple website (Apple, 2022). Similarly, the software cost estimates were determined by referring

to the Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite prices listed on the Microsoft website (Microsoft,

2018). To estimate the cost of the outside contractor space cost, I relied on the rental prices of meeting

rooms provided by the Regus website (Regus,2019). The applications cost estimates aligned with the

software estimates, considering the Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite prices from the Microsoft

website. The cost estimate for the additional staff or contractors was derived from the salary

considerations for two additional staff members. Finally, the estimate for the hours needed by existing

personnel to work on the project was based on their respective salaries. This comprehensive

methodology ensured that the cost estimates encompassed all relevant factors.
