USA SWIMMING: THE DATA INTEGRATION PROJECT

1. A nice way to think about such a huge project would be to decompose it into the following components: enterprise/local architectures, enterprise database, web portal, member services, national team services, athlete services, swim meet services and local club services. Assess each of these components in terms of their anticipated outcome specification uncertainty. Briefly justify your assessment of each component.

2. Table 4 from the case describes the project team. Instead of this structure, it would be far better to have a project team comprised of both USAS and Statera personnel and a project steering committee. Who should be on the project steering committee (you can if you wish to identify roles not mentioned in the case)? Be sure to identify your project steering committee members, justifying the selection of each member. Who should be the project manager (you may decide on a single project manager or co-project managers)? Justify your selection.

3. This project is far too complex to implement as a single, large project. The first question decomposed the project into a more manageable set of subprojects. Recommend a project plan that indicates the sequence in which these subprojects are to be undertaken. Allow for the possibility of subprojects occurring in parallel and to account for dependencies between subprojects; e.g., subproject C should not begin before subproject A has been completed. Your plan should strive to accomplish the overall project in a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost while meeting the needs of all stakeholders. Explain and justify your plan.
