Situation - Your Program Manager let you know the DIT COO had expressed his appreciation for all of the preliminary work you have been doing to prepare his project managers for developing a Cost Management Plan Template, but at the same time he was growing impatient. You and your Program Manager both understand the pressure stressing the COO, but you and your Program Manager also know your project is exactly on schedule and the next step will begin to produce the tangible evidence the COO needs to be a little less stressed.

Assignment - Carefully review the Project Scope of your ASDG project you are conducting for DIT; pay special attention to item 3 of the Project Scope regarding assisting the DIT project managers to develop a Project Cost Management Plan Template. Go to the internet and search for a sample Project Cost Management Plan template (MS Word format) you think could be customized for DIT and attach into the forum for viewing/ sharing or provide a link if available. Describe the template and explain why you selected this document over other options for the current project. How can this template be improved, pros and cons?
