A & D High Tech Project Plan• Critical Path

A & D High Tech Case Plan• Potential of the project to be

completed on time - Feasible– The online store project is feasible and could go live

before the holiday season– Extensive testing phase should highlight potential

problems– Strong Project Management & history of timely delivery

A & D High Tech Case Plan• Risks & Mitigations

– Scope Creep - Incorporate Checkpoints & Milestone, Functionality Vs Aesthetics, No changes after Functional Requirements

– Human Resources - Hire only experienced resources with both prior Domain and Technical experience

– Resource Back Up - Take services of another Consulting Firm

– Mythical Man Month - Resource Leveling and Loading• Room for Accommodating Scope

Changes– Minor alterations to existing requirements are feasible

but no big changes can be accommodated e.g. adding/changing few fields vs adding a new page.
