Part -1:

You have been hired by a large company with branch offices around the country to assist with rollout of a new companywide compliance system.

While initially the focus was on implementation of the technology, it was found that success will require at least 10 hours of training for all managers across the country on both the use of the new platform as well as a host of new compliance policies being introduced.

Of the options discussed, it was generally agreed than the training should be hands-on and conducted in person at a central location. This will obviously require getting organizational buy in as not all managers are going to be willing to commit to taking time out from their normal responsibilities just for some training.

In addition, such large scale centralized training has not been done before by this company; therefore, the CEO wants feedback from participants to evaluate the effectiveness of any training sessions.

As a result, your manager has given you the responsibility to develop an outline for a proposed project that would meet this upcoming need.
Submita 2 page MEMORANDUMthat does the following:

• Names the project

• Briefly describes the project

• Identifies potential stakeholders directly or indirectly involved

• Specifies the overall objective and any outcomes for this project

• Details how success will be evaluated

• Highlights what is needed to ascertain the measurable organizational value (MOV) of this project.

You will need to make some assumptions (it is even encouraged) but the assumptions must be documented.

Part -2:

You have been tasked with the project of organizing a company offsite 2-day training session in which people are brought in from different parts of the country. This entails everything from preparation, accommodations, and facilities.

Submit a 2 page executive MEMORANDUM summarizing the project's objective, any scoping boundaries used to define the project, and relevant facts about the tasks or resources.

• Identify all related tasks and resources needed to complete this project.

• Highlight or specify any measurable deliverables relating to your project.

Part -3:

The project for the company offsite 2-day training session has been given a preliminary go-ahead. However a budget needs to be submitted for approval.

Write a 2 page MEMORANDUM explaining the financial implications of your project that does the following:

• Adds costs estimates to your resources (both labor and material) - Refer to websites like the United States Department of Labor for estimates.

• Adds estimates for all task duration and sequencing of tasks (including precedence relations)

• Summarizes any relevant facts about the project duration, number or type of resources, critical task sequencing, and how duration estimates were arrived at

• Highlights if there are any milestones for your project

Part 4

The company offsite 2-day training session project is about ready to enter the execution phase. However, management has a history of being surprised with projects that finished over-budget, did not adhere to the timeline, evinced waste of resources, or did not meet expectations.

Address your strategy for the following in a 2 page MEMORANDUM to gain their confidence in your project management abilities:

• Analyze and report unplanned changes

• Evaluate project quality

• Procedures you plan to implement for handling change control issues

• How you plan to communicate whether the project is meeting any stated performance and quality objectives
