SITUATION: After the Pegasus Project fell apart (Thermodyne Case) in February, you have been hired by Mr. Webber as Pegasus project manager. As part of your new job, you are responsible for developing the project recovery plan. The project requires the integration of many activities across functional lines and subcontractors, including Product Development, Testing, Production and Marketing. Although the project is in deep trouble right now, some progress had been made over the past six month and Thermodyne management is determined to complete the project. Mr. Webber informs you that 30 team members are now assigned full-time to this project. Some experts had been hired recently who assessed the technical progress on the project and determined that it is feasible to complete the Pegasus project within the next 12 months and within a budget of $1M. The formal kick-off for the project re-start is scheduled for May 16.
Based on various meetings with key personnel of the new Pegasus team, you can determine the following building blocks of the project:
The project is broken into four major team efforts, each requiring approximately equal resources: (1) Product development led by Ralph has been started on April 5, and is committed to be finished by October 31. The product development includes 7 interrelated activity groups: R&D, concept design, mechanical design, electrical design, software development, environmental permitting, and integration; (2) Prototyping led by Kate, to be started on August 10 and finished by January 31; (3) Field Testing led by Kim, with activities scheduled to start on January 15, 2010 and to be completed by March 25, 2010, and (4) Pilot Production, scheduled to start on November 15 and to be completed by April 30, 2010. Except for team 1, all other major teams organized their work into six task categories.
