It is now December $1,2022,$ and you have been assigned to determine which deliverables of the WBS below will be developed in$-$house and which will be purchased from external services. It is expected that some of these tasks will be performed in$-$house and some are expected to contracted out to an external source. Experience within the organization has to be a major concern as this decision is being made. Although the organization has some resources with some application design and programming experience, the experience level is basic and is in legacy systems. The current design and programming staff do not have experience with either client server application systems or web design. The organization desires this new software application system to be developed, utilizing the more modern technologies and leaning specifically toward a web$-$based software package. The business sponsor wants at least three of these tasks to be performed by external sources and at least three tasks to be conducted in$-$house. The schedule of milestone tasks are listed below.

Analyze tasks $1$ to $10$ and determine which ones will be conducted in$-$house and which ones will be contracted from external sources.

For the tasks that are to be purchased from external sources, explain why these tasks should be purchased instead of conducted in$-$house $($minimum of $30$ words$)$ and find one vendor that could be the contractor who can perform this task $($including the web link$).$

For the tasks that are to be conducted in$-$house, include the reason that the task should be conducted in$-$house $($minimum of $30$ words$).$

Finally, select one task that you plan to purchase from an external source and develop the evaluation criteria that will be utilized in selecting the most ideal vendor for the task.
