You are managing a multi-department technology project to migrate and rebuild a set of legacy applications to a new platform (Migrating Legacy CRM to new CRM). 6 months into the project you start to realize the vendor and business teams are not going to meet the scope and timeline of the project (i.e. requirements definition is only 50% complete, full requirements and scope validation is delayed and not all solutions will be approved in the timeline)

What are your next steps? You are worried that the budget and resources are already stretched thin.

There is a steering committee meeting coming up in a week. At this meeting you are to provide a monthly update/ summary over various aspects of the project.

Prepare a Project Plan (there is no specific template for a project plan, so you can create your own template) to discuss the overall status of the project. Also plan to advise over the issues and plans to resolve and ensure aspects of the project can proceed.

Please state any assumptions you have made in your document.

You can include the following points in your project plan:

• Budget: 1 M
• Initial Project timeline: 18 months.
• Milestones
• Scope Change / Requirement Change
• Impact Analysis
• Provided a re-baseline of scope, schedule and budget.
