casestudy2.docxSCM 6030 – Strategic Project Management for Supply Chain Management
Module 2 – Case #1 (70 Pts)
Turned in via Canvas. Please see grading rubric below.
You pick the project! Find a project at work (past or present), either something you are working on or a project that you would like to see done. It can be a case of something you are working on, would like to work on or a past project that wasn’t managed well that you would like to revisit. It must be business related and preferred some type of tie to supply chain (if possible). If you can not think of a project or come up with one, let me know and I will give you data for one (but likely much less interesting!) If you are uncertain if something is appropriate, just shoot me an email for advice or to confirm.
We will build on this project in Chapters 6 & 7, so as you think of a project, think of something we can continue to build on in Building a Project Schedule and Managing Risk.
Your assignment:
1) Complete the following:
a. Define the Scope of the Project and complete a Scope Statement (short form), follow the Project Scope Checklist.
b. Complete a Project Priority Matrix
c. Complete the WBS – Work Breakdown Structure from Project (Level 1) to Work Package (Level 5). Remember…You may have to make some assumptions in this WBS.
OBS – Organizational Breakdown Structure and PBS – Process Breakdown Structure are optional, add if you feel you need it for your project.
d. Complete a Responsibility Matrix
e. Complete a Communication Plan
f. Complete estimates for both time and cost for the project, you pick the method and technique from our readings in Chapter 5. Since you don’t have resources like a full project, you can make reasonable assumptions on time and cost as needed.
2) Turn in only 1 file. It can be in excel, word or PowerPoint, but all items must be contained in 1 file for submission.
There are many different templates you can use. There are ones in our book, on the PowerPoint lectures, many formats online, formats from your work or make your own custom formats in excel, word or PowerPoint. Content of the work in a clean easy to understand format is what is being graded.
