This next phase of the project is meant to build off the previous phase (Unit III Scholarly Activity) and chapters.
Phase II: The Rest of the Story…
Phase II Work Breakdown:
Step 1. Using the Online Library as well as your favorite search engine, conduct research on the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet project that was awarded on October 2, 2000 to Electronic Data Systems (EDS). (You are also free to perform additional research on the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) if you wish.) at least 2 references total!
Step 2: Based on the NMCI project information you obtained, analyze and critique the NMCI project in terms of the following:
Provide an analysis based upon your experience/knowledge regarding communication within a business environment and more specifically, within project management.
Step 3: Explain the challenges EDS faced in each of these areas; if, how, and why they went off track; and how EDS might have managed these areas to prevent or minimize the problems.
Step 4: Create the Phase II deliverable.
Phase II Deliverable
For this assignment, you will submit a four-page report that presents an analysis, critique, and recommendations/remedies regarding the project management areas of estimating resources, costs, quality, and communication as they apply to NMCI’s performance. 2 references within 5 years.
If you were the lead manager on a project dealing with the NMCI, how would you go about creating a resource requirements plan? Do you believe the NMCI put forth enough effort in the planning stages?
