Overview

Lauren was selected to be the project manager of a project of implementing a colour laser printer for consumer and business market at a reasonable price. However there were issues in cost and time estimates. Case study is all about what needs to done by the project manager to overcome this problem.

Review the case, Sharp Printing, AG,and answer the questions at the end of the case study. Discuss each question and provide support for your answers.

Q1. At this point, what would you do if you were the project manager?

Q2. Was top management acting correctly in developing an estimate?

Q3. What estimating techniques should be used for a mission critical project such as this?
