We have three project proposals to consider in next week’s Project Management Office’s (PMO) Review.
Piper Industries Corp. needs the projects to be complete and to be generating revenue within 12 months
of next week’s PMO Review. Wendell Deirelein, our vice-president, has assigned you to analyze the three
projects below and make a recommendation as to which project the company should invest in. The
recommendation must include your description of the five phases of the project and the key deliverables
(project completion date and cost) for each project.
Project Code Name: Juniper This is an enhancement of a current widget being offered by our company.
Risk of completion of this project on time is low.
Product plan shows the critical path to be 6 months at a cost of $325,000 to bring the product to
market.
Product is forecasted to have a ROI of $250,000 for a period of 2 to 3 years.
The third year is forecasted to be the end of life for this product line due to advances projected in
technology.
This is a standard product line that marketing believes many customers will want to purchase. Project Code Name: Palomino This is a new line of widget products including enhancements using existing technology.
Risk for completion of this project on time is medium.
Production plan shows the critical path to be 9 months at a cost of $655,000 to bring the product
to market.
Product is forecasted to have ROI of $450,000 for a period of 5 years.
This product will be a custom part for one of your strategic customers—historically the forecasts
from this customer have a 5% margin of error.
The seventh year is forecasted to be the end of life for this product by the customer. Project Code Name: Stargazer Research and development has already started on our new widgets. The company has spent
$450,000 on this product so far and the estimate to bring this product to market is $575,000.
Risk of completing this project on time is high.
Product is forecasted to have ROI of $300,000 first year; $550,000 the second year; and
$750,000 the third year.
The product life is forecasted to be 7 years for this product. (This forecast included derivative
product which will cost more).
By delivering such an innovative product to the marketplace first, your organization will be seen
as a leader in this industry.
Your sales and marketing teams have discussed this type of product with a few of your strategic
customers; while some are interested, there are many questions about the business. Sincerely, Copyright © 2016 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. 1 Project Management E-Mail
