Exercise 1 - Background
You are the Project Manager for a new, very visible, and big income
producer project. In your preliminary analysis, you find out the
following:
This project will have multiple interfaces to various systems and
hardware for internal and external customers.
This project is a discretionary project and you will need some help
from a team of specialists within your organization.
In your meeting with the manager of the specialists, you find out
that they have a non-discretionary project that is number one on
their list of priorities. This other project was dictated to the financial
organization by the Federal Reserve Bank. Non-compliance with
this other project places the firm under severe penalties.

approximately 1000 hours to complete”.
