Scenario

J6 Management Consulting Computer designs and manufactures high tech devices for public consumption. Currently, the J6 Management Consulting executive team is considering the development of a new version of their popular smartphone. As with all their products, they intend to design the smartphone to meet current trends and manufacture the device in house to maintain quality standards. Estimates have been made regarding the development project to take it to the point of operational manufacture. The estimates are based on the results of the projects for the two prior versions. The company requires meeting the product specifications, prefers to complete the project as close to schedule as possible, and is willing to assume some additional costs if necessary to meet a 07/18/19 and determine the shortest feasible schedule as constrained by the resources in Table 2.

Project start day: March 26th, 2018

Part 1. Write a memo to the executives about the schedule and any resource issues associated with the schedule. Consider carefully what to consider and how to structure the memo.

Part 2. The J6 Management Consulting executives request that something be done to complete the project earlier using only internal resources. Other project managers pool their free talent and make additional resource units available to you for the smartphone project. The available additional resources are given in Table 3. Prepare a memo to the executives with supporting documentation that describes your proposed solution to reducing the duration of the project.

Part 3. Having gone with the solution from part 2, when Jull 18th 2019 rolls around, assume the project status will appear as in Table 4. Tasks not listed have not yet started. Write a memo to the executive team about the status of the project. Be certain to document your claims.
