You are five weeks into the Green Computing Research Project, and the full-time team

members are together for the first time. You, Ben, Matt, and Le all work in the same location,

but Teresa and James are based out of town and do most of their work virtually. Le

is also new to the company and has just moved to the United States. She is staying in a

hotel and looking for a place to live. She would like to buy her first home, but she wants to

make sure its a good investment and somewhere shed like to stay for at least five years.

You get along well with your project sponsor, Ben, and Matt is a great resource, although

he is extremely reserved. Le is also very quiet, and you quickly discover that she is an

excellent researcher and writer, but she is not comfortable speaking in public. Teresa and

James are much more talkative and are excited to be working on this project. However,

James seems to be reluctant to use much technology to share ideas, and he enjoys faceto-

face meetings and discussions. You have made preliminary agreements with two outside

consultants to assist you with editing and the teleconferencing topic for your research.

You have to prepare a monthly progress report and presentation for Ito, the program

manager. You also have short meetings as needed with Ben, your sponsor, and you send

him a weekly progress report.

Prepare a responsibility assignment matrix in RACI chart format based on the

WBS you created earlier and the information you have on project team

members and other stakeholders. Use the template (ram.xls) and samples in

the text. Document key assumptions you made in preparing the chart.
