Case:

Your client is an IT company specializing in devices for people with disabilities. Based in the US$,$

it employs $25$ people and sells its products mainly in North America. During its first $5-$years, the

company has experienced rapid growth, but last year$$s financials have shown some decline in

sales. The sales department has recently identified an opportunity for entry into the Chinese

and Latin$-$American markets. As a result, the management team has approved a set of strategic

projects to enable that purpose.

One of the projects being launched is the development of a multi$-$language website platform to

enable online purchases of the company products. With that purpose, your team has been

hired to manage the project. You have been asked to submit a project plan in the next few

weeks that is efficient $($you were told by a Vice President that this project needs to be done

$$yesterday$)$ and for the smallest budget possible. The management team has approved up to

$$45$K for the project, but you have been asked to bring it in under budget if possible. Your team

will gather the necessary information to define a robust project plan.

Your team allowed to make assumptions, as needed, to assist you in completing the project

thoroughly

Deliverable

Your group should create a project plan outlining each of the assigned parts, plus anything else

you feel is important. The project plan will be shared with the Management Team for final

approval of the project. Your plan should be $8-10$ pages $($exclusive of a cover page and

reference page$)$ in length and include additional research done by your team. You can make

any assumptions about the company, resources and other considerations in order for you to do

a thorough job in producing the plan.

Please include a breakdown of how the project plan work was completed $($who did what?$)$ by

your group.

Each group member will be required to submit the final version of the project plan in Unit $6$
