Elite Burger: New Product Launch Case Scenario

David Smith is a project manager at Elite Burger. He is managing a project to launch a new vegetarian burger using fresh local ingredients and toppings. Based on the executive team's directions, the project team decided to experiment with ingredients such as black beans, chickpeas, quinoa, and wild rice for creating the new burger. They also decided to introduce a few new and more "exotic" toppings, such as guacamole and sun-dried tomatoes.

A few months into the project, the culinary team tested several recipes and narrowed them down to the three burgers that they thought worked best. The project team is now setting up a taste test to choose which burger should go on the menu. The product launch team has also been brainstorming marketing and promotional strategies.

As the team works on finalizing the recipe and marketing strategies, David receives a change request from the executive team. In addition to testing burgers with fresh ingredients, they want the team to produce and test at least one burger using plant-based meat substitutes.

David has also learned of another risk the team is facing. Avocados' quality and cost have not been consistent in the recipe-testing phase. The supplier has assured him that this is temporary and that they will fix these issues before the project deadline.
