Australia Dear Home Builders (ADHB) is a private residential builder company constructing hundreds of residential homes every year in Australia. Currently all project management related activities and documents are handled using an old off-the-shelf Project Management Information System (PMIS) software which ADHB has bought many years ago. The existing PMIS doesn't respond to the growing needs of the company. Thus the company has appointed you and your team as an external project management firm to provide them with advice regarding the development of a new PMIS for ADHB. ADHB is clear about what features they want to be included in the new PMIS, and would like to limit changes as much as possible. ADHB has an internal IT department which is capable of developing this software, but would also consider outsourcing this development to an external IT company if they can deliver higher value (they have already identified AST Software Co. as a potential software development company which can deliver the product). Moreover, you are requested to submit a Project Execution Plan (PEP) for this development in terms of how to manage the activities required to develop the new PMIS.
