Given the critical nature of the project, the company has developed a high-level budget and potential income for each application.

• Year 0 is the projected cost the company has estimated for the build of the component. This includes a 15% overhead cost for project management work
• Year 1-Year 5 is the amount of revenue the company has estimated for the product
• The Acceptable Rate of Return for all projects with the company is 10%

Step 4: Manage a project

• Describe the process that your team will use to elicit and decompose the requirements for the project
• Develop a Project Overview Statement document for the project
• Create a WBS for the project. Remember your WBS is a deliverable base, so there should be a section of your WBS which outlines our project management deliverables
• Using the following information develop a Gantt chart

  	Optimistic Estimate	Pessimistic Estimate	Most Likely Estimate
  Application 1	4 months	9 months	6 months
  Application 2	1 month	5 months	3 months
  Application 3	5 months	10 months	7 months
  Application 4	1 month	7 months	4 months
  Application 5	5 months	10 months	8 months
  Application 6	2 months	9 months	5 months
  Application 7	5 months	12 months	7 months
  Application 8	3 months	13 months	9 months
  Application 9	4 months	11 months	8 months

• Describe strategies you can use to bring the project timeline to 12 months.
• Develop a team agreement
• Using your defined prioritization process, prioritize each application.
• Using the defined organizational structure, create a pictorial and narrative description of the organizational structure for the project.
• Identify at least ten potential stakeholders for your project.
• Identify at least five risks to include both threats and opportunities associated with the project. For each risk, please include the following information:
  • Category
  • Impact
  • Probability
  • Description of the risk
  • Mitigation Strategy
• Describe the process your team can use to determine if the projects are making the appropriate revenue.
