Senior management expects you to release a new printer which will allow you to leapfrog the competitor's expected new printer announcement and capture market share early. The schedule is highly aggressive, allowing you to ramp up manufacturing and marketing soon enough to dramatically pre-empt the competitor's announcement and seize a market leadership position. Management has indicated that releasing the new printer ahead of the competition is critical to success. Consequently, the points available for meeting or exceeding schedule goals are much higher than for scope. Target specs, required to be sure of far exceeding your competitor's new printer, are clearly defined, well understood, and expected to remain stable throughout the project. Management has committed to providing stable access to resources during the project.
