\begin{tabular}{l|l|} \hline Exercise & Understand how using proper project scoping techniques can help project managers do a better job of managing. Read the following case exercise and complete the project charter and scope statement. Be prepared to discuss what you as a project manager would do. \\ \hline \end{tabular} You are a lead project manager working with the quickly growing Peak Information Technologies, an image management company. The company specializes in digitizing images that cannot be fed into an automated scanner (historical documents, insurance claims, old books, etc.). Peak Information Technologies (PIT) has a large operations staff (called "filmers") that digitally film documents using flatbed cameras. Filmers have been increasingly tuming in medical claims of Carpal Tunnel which is costing the company a significant amount of money (raising insurance premiums). The president of the company has come to you and demanded, "I want you to initiate a project of redesigning filmer work stations in order to solve employee Carpal Tunnel problems, OK!" In your quick pre-project investigation (or needs assessment) you spend time with the filmers who sit in chairs (figure 2) and manually feed thousands of documents a day on to their flatbed scanners (figure 3). Once a document is positioned correctly, the filmer presses a button on the side of the camera bed to take a digital picture of the piece. You have noticed that virtually all people complaining of Carpal Tunnel problems have been with the company for less than 1 year. All employees use the same workstations. Additionally, in reviewing the technique of long term employees (over 1 year), you notice that they seem to be very fluid in their movements to place documents on the bed and press the camera actuation button without moving their wrist in awkward angles. Newer employees tend to use a rigid supinating action (figure 1 ) when operating the camera. Deliverables - What are the deliverables of the project? Additional Tasks/Activities - What activities are required to facilitate this project? Dependencies - What is this project dependent on? Assumptions - What are the assumptions of the project? Affected Groups - Which groups are affected by this project (e.g. IT, Marketing, Engineening, Accounting, etc.) \begin{tabular}{l|l|l|l|} \hline Level of Effort & & Project Manager & Technical Manager \\ \hline Approved & Sr. Management & & \\ \hline Signature & & & \\ \hline Date & & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{l|l|} \hline Exercise & Understand how using proper project scoping techniques can help project managers do a better job of managing.
