Solved by verified expert :Justify the commitment of
Project D using the portfolio process you defined in Part II: Project Outline.
Make whatever assumptions are necessary (cash flows to fit NPV analysis,
strategic alignment determination, etc.).
Prepare
the following items for the report to be submitted:
1.
Recommendation
Memo—Write a relatively short memo to your manager
describing your recommendation for changing the project portfolio based on
your portfolio process. Justify your decision on Project D and describe any
impact on the rest of the programme (Projects A, B, and C) and your rationale
for that impact. Attach whatever data is needed to back up your recommendation.
This memo should be 7–8 pages (not counting attachments). No more than 6 pages
of attachments for this part.
2.
Executive
Summary Project Plan—Assume you
are in the definition phase of Project D and developing an executive-level
project plan that will be an attachment to your recommendation memo. It should
follow the attached outline. This document should be at least 10 pages but no
more than 18 pages, including any attachments.
3.
Commented
Copy of Part I—Please
provide a copy of the commented copy of your Part I: Project Proposal process
document when submitting the final deliverable. Make a note of any improvements
made to your process as a result of trying to use it. (This is for reference
and will not be graded.)
The documents should be double-spaced, in 10- or
12-point font, and with one-inch margins. These are documents for an executive,
so be concise and to the point, and leave out the fluff. The use of appropriate
grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure will be part of the
grade.
Please
make sure that you cite and reference all your outside sources properly, as per
the Harvard Referencing System.
