Group Project Assignment

You and your team have been hired to do a project for a private library called Alexander's Great Library. This library stores very old and rare books that are not available anywhere else. They currently have three computers in the staff area, and five computers for public access. They also own one Multifunction device that the public has access to. Currently, all their data is stored on a shared hard drive on one of the staff computers. They have 4 staff members, but not all of them need a computer. A needs assessment has already determined the following proposal:

  1. Convert 100 books to electronic format (PDFs)
  2. Upgrade all the workstations to new computers of your choosing. Include a monitor, keyboard, and mice.
  3. Move the existing and new data to the cloud. They do not currently have a cloud provider.
  4. M&C: The sponsor has made a request to the PM to provide online services to help promote and sell the scanned documents, she is unwilling to increase the budget or time allowance. What happens to the project? Use what you have learned in class to make good decisions. It should be one to three paragraphs long.
  5. M&C: Customers are a major stakeholder in the project. The customers are concerned about losing physical access to the books. They want information on the project and the potential outcomes for them. How do you deal with these stakeholders? It should be one to three paragraphs long.

The Sponsor is Madame Tussaud. She is the owner of this private library and has asked you to create a project. Your first task is to create a project charter that contains an approximate overall time and cost. Make sure this is signed by Madame Tussaud before the work begins.
