The CIO needs to determine whether the proposed project can be completed in time for the holiday shopping season. You, as the newly appointed project manager, have taken over and gathered all components of the plan to assess a response to the following questions (Assume no holidays and ignore the sunk costs of the planning team's efforts.):

1. What is the projected completion date?

2. What is the total project cost? How much of those costs are labor and how much are capital? What can you say about the labor allocations?

3. What is the project's critical path? What are the major risk elements associated with this project, how would you assess the level of risk?

4. What is your conclusion on the potential for completing the project on time? What options might you propose to either get the project on track or other alternatives to salvage this project?
