Coca Cola is flowing into the Cloud! Brian Shipman Kenya Spratt Dexter White BMGT 487 7380 Project Management Professor Mitchell Richard 02/28/2017 Introduction Now that objectives have been identified and the way to achieve those objectives, all key players need to be identified for a successful transition to Microsoft Office 365. To do this, an organizational chart must be developed. The organizational chart helps to identify and recruit individuals that have a direct impact on the success of the project. The organizational chart also helps specify roles and areas of responsibility to determine how they will interact with each other throughout the project lifecycle. By creating an effective organizational chart the project of migrating to Microsoft Office 365 will meet the goals of Coca-Cola and ensure project success.

Summary Migrating an organization to Office 365, is usually seamless to the enduser, minus a few technical issues. However, looking at the human resources that are required for such a project, proves that this project is anything but seamless. Migrating an organization such as Coca Cola will require a lot of highly skilled individuals to ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible. The team will include individuals from the IT Security team, IT Systems Admin team, the Help Desk team, and a group of consultants that specialize in migrating organizations to Office 365. With email being one of the most critical business applications, downtime of any kind can cause massive issues for the business at hand. An important part of a project is to ensure the proper human resources are in place. Creating an organizational chart with descriptions of each position will make the task of assigning proper human resources much easier for the organization.
