Week 5 Tutorial: Project Integration Management Following the case study of Blue Bank from week 4 tutorial: Tasks
1. Prepare the financial section of a business case for the Remote Deposit Capture Project. Assume the project will take 6 years to complete and cost about $500,000 (year 0 costs). Annual operating costs would be about $150,000 per year for three years. Estimated benefits are about $400,000 per year for three years. Use the business case spreadsheet template to help calculate the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs. Assume a 6.5 percent discount rate.
2. Prepare a project charter for the Remote Deposit Capture Project. Assume the project will take 6 years to complete and cost about $500,000. Use the project charter template and examples of project charters in Chapters 3 and 4 as guidelines. Assume that the project sponsor will be the new VP of IT, Harold Johnson, you will be the project manager, and you will have people from marketing and IT supporting the project on a part-time basis. The VP of Marketing, Tricia Young, is also a key stakeholder in the project and head of a project steering committee formed to oversee this project.
3. You know that people will be requesting changes to the project and want to make sure you have a good integrated change control process in place. You also know that you want to address change requests as quickly as possible. Review the template for a change request form provided on the companion Web site (change_request.doc; see the link on the lower left). Write a one- to two-page paper describing how you plan to manage changes on this project in a timely manner. Address who will be involved in making change control decisions, what paperwork/electronic systems will be used to collect and respond to changes, and other related issues.

Week 6 Tutorial: Project Scope Management The project steering committee has asked you to put together your project team. They suggest that you have two people from IT, two from marketing, and one person from the purchasing department all working part-time on the project. As always, you will need the services from Code Corp., the software company that has developed the entire Blue Bank Web site. Code Corp. has people working in several different countries, mostly in a virtual environment. The main contact with that company is Christian Jones. Since this new remote capture service requires the use of a special scanner, you will need to compare different scanners on the market right now. For this reason, you will be working with DevAn, a devices analysis consulting firm based in India that will help you determine which scanners to use with the new application. Alexandra will be the DevAn consultant assigned to you. An initial estimate suggests that one half of the budget will go to outsourced software and consulting services. Tasks
1. Develop a scope statement for the project. Use the template file and the example in Chapter 3 as guides. Be as specific as possible in describing product characteristics, requirements, and deliverables.
2. Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. Break down the work to level 2 or level 3, as appropriate. Use the template file and samples in Chapters 3 and 5 as guides. Print the WBS in list form as a Word file. Be sure to base your WBS on the project charter, scope statement, and other relevant information.
3. Use the WBS you developed in Task 2 above to create a Gantt chart in Project 2007 for the project. Use the outline numbering feature to display the outline numbers (click Tools on the menu bar, click Options, and then click Show outline number). Do not enter any durations or dependencies. Print the resulting Gantt chart on one page, being sure to display the entire Task Name column.
4. Develop a strategy for scope verification and change control for this project. Write a two-page paper summarizing key points of the strategy.

Week 7 Tutorial: Project Time Management One of your duties as the project manager is to lead your team in developing a schedule. Mike and Sophie are the information technology professionals. The marketing professionals are Carlos and Joanna, and John is the purchasing specialist. Don’t forget that you have only six months to complete the project and a budget of $500,000. Dorian, the project sponsor, had told you that it is important to finish on time and within budget, but it is even more important to provide a high-quality service and avoid any potential technical or user problems after implementation. Blue Bank wants to attract new customers with remote deposit capture and avoid losing current customers, so quality and customer service is key. The team decides to focus on key milestones in developing the schedule, being sure that suppliers know their roles on this project and that adequate testing is done. Tasks
1. Review the WBS and Gantt chart you created for Tasks 2 and 3 in Part 2 above. Propose three to five additional activities you think should be added to help you estimate resources and durations. Write a one-page paper describing these new activities.
2. Identify at least eight milestones for this project. Write a one-page paper describing each milestone using the SMART criteria.
3. Using the Gantt chart you created for Task 3 in Part 2 above, and the new activities and milestones you proposed in Tasks 1 and 2 above, estimate the task durations and enter dependencies, as appropriate. Remember that your schedule goal for the project is six months. Print the Gantt chart and network diagram.
4. Write a one-page paper summarizing how you would assign people to each activity. Include a table or matrix listing how many hours each person would work on each task. These resource assignments should make sense given the duration estimates made in Task 3 above.
5. Assume that your project team starts falling behind schedule. Describe strategies for making up lost time and avoiding schedule slips in the future.
