read and respond to the questions in the Enterprise Resource Planning Project case by Kerzner.

TEAM C

The group project requires students to read and respond to the questions in the Enterprise Resource Planning Project case by Kerzner.

Using this information and the Assignment Rubric located below, develop an APA formatted paper of 10-12 pages in length, not including the title or reference page. Be sure to include the following:

• Title page

• Table of contents

• Summary of case (2 pages)

• Answers to questions #1-14 (6-7 pages) with section headings

1. Why did Prylon give Mannix Corporation a third chance?

2. Do projects go from green to red overnight? If they do, then what is the most likely cause?

3. Should a firm-fixed-price contract have been awarded from the ERP effort?

4. Is it reasonable to expect that requirements will change during recovery?

5. What is the ultimate goal of a recovery project?

6. Do stakeholders expect trade-offs during recovery?

7. What generally happens to constraints such as time and cost during recovery?

8. Why was morale low when Jerry first took over the project?

9. What are the characteristics of a death spiral on a failing project?

10. What was Jerry’s intent in canceling overtime and asking the team to stop working on the project for a few days?

11. What were the risks in Question 10?

12. As identified in the case, what were the life-cycle phases for recovery, and what is accomplished in each phase?

13. Suppose that during the audit phase Jerry discovered that one of the team members, and a close friend of his, was the cause of most of the issues. How should Jerry handle the situation?

14. What should Jerry do during the negotiation phase if Prylon Corporation comes up with its own recovery plan and the plan is unacceptable to Mannix?

(Requires substantial out of text research and analysis. Substantially support your conclusion and offer information that will assist the reader to fully understand the project.

• Conclusion (1 page)

• Team Contract (1-2 pages, found in appendix)

• Reference page

Just a suggestion, but here is how I see this working with 5 people. Open to other ideas for how to spread this work out.

- 1 person does the summary of the case plus question 1 and 2

- 1 person does questions 3, 4, 5 and 6

- 1 person does questions 7, 8, and 9

- 1 person does questions 10, 11, and 12

- 1 person does questions 13, and 14 as well as the conclusion and the team contract (it says this is in the appendix, but I am not seeing it in the book with the ERP case)
