You work as a project manager for a hospital system that has just decided to replace an aging, mainframe-based, emergency room system with a modern, standalone computer system. The replacement project has been named the Emergency Room Stand Alone Initiative (ER-SAI). Another project manager was assigned to plan this effort, but has unfortunately gotten ill and youve been asked to essentially pick up from where they left off. Youve been asked to ensure three (or four) items are prepared and ready for stakeholder review: A Project Charter A Work Breakdown Structure A Network Schedule Diagram A Stakeholder Register (for project teams with four people only) After sifting through the previous project managers notes, youve found the following documents (that are obviously work in progress). The information collected includes: 1. A rough outline of Critical Tasks 2. A Risk Assessment Critical Tasks (in no particular order): Issue Development (7 days) Requirements gathering for: Hardware (22 days), Software (19 days) and Network (20 days) Identifying System Interfaces (10 days) Identifying Software Team Staffing Requirements (2 days) Determine & Purchase Hardware (15 days) Determine & Purchase Software (30 days) Determine & Purchase Network Equipment (30 days) Build Interfaces (60 days) Install & Test Hardware (30 days) Install & Test Software (14 days) Install & Test Network Equipment (30 days) Test System (5 days) Train Hospital Staff on system (5 days) Risk Assessment (preliminary): The most critical factor in this initiative is meeting the projects delivery date. A recent audit has pointed out the inadequacies of the current legacy emergency room system and the hospital may now have liability issues if they do not correct this situation. Since the software is being purchased from one of three reputable vendors the only consider with whether the current IT staff can build the required interfaces from this new ER System to other existing hospital systems.
