Senior management expects you to release a new printer that will allow you to upstage your competitor's expected new printer announcement. The target schedule is shortened to allow you to ramp up manufacturing and marketing soon enough to preempt the competitor announcement with an announcement of your own. The budget will support a cost structure that permits a printer profit margin which is slightly better than that of the current printer.

Your own analysis of the work required and subsequent work breakdown structure has led you to conclude that these targets are difficult but achievable. You're concerned, however, that the market intelligence gathered about your competitor's plans might not be reliable. Management has committed to providing stable access to resources during the project.
