Seremala ltd has been selling its products in the Nairobi wood-shows, art and craft galleries and to locals who embrace wood art. The business has had a boom post-covid. Mutinda, the CEO thinks it is now time to go global. Mutinda wants a website that will showcase his products, allow secure online ordering, and has social media capability. In addition, Mutinda would like to provide videos on how to wood carve. The videos will be free for a two week period and then there will be a nominal monthly subscription fee. This monthly fee will allow one to watch unlimited videos and download wood carving patterns. Mutinda wants to add enough videos to get the subscription service started and then he will add additional new videos each month. He contacts Silantoi, a family friend, who owns a software and website development business. They meet for lunch and Mutinda gives her all the specific requirements for the website. Mutinda would like to have a website launched in less than three weeks. He will be a vendor at a large woodworking show in six weeks and wants a website in place so potential visitors can peruse his products prior to the show. Silantoi is happy to help Mutinda with the website and carefully takes notes of all his website requirements. She tells Mutinda that she needs to estimate how long the website project will take given that she and her employees are in the midst of several projects. However, she promises that she will try her best to have the project completed within three weeks. Mutinda tells Silantoi that he is willing to pay extra in order to have the website completed within a three-week period. Silantoi goes back to her office and puts together the project activities, the time to complete each activity, and whether an activity time can be reduced (crashed) by hiring additional workers. She does not want to begin shooting videos for the subscription service until the videos for the wooden products are complete. Silantoi can hire out additional workers at a cost of Ksh.1500 per hour (Ksh.12,000 for an eight hour workday).Her project management expert is on a short leave this week. Silantoi needs your help.
