DORALE PRODUCTS (A)

SCOPE MANAGEMENT
SUBJECT AREA DEFINING A PROJECT
 

Dorale Products was undergoing favorable growing pains. Business was good. New product development was viewed as the driving force for the company’s future growth. The company was now spending significantly more money for new product development, yet the number of new products reaching the market place was significantly less than in prior
years. Also, some of the products reaching the market place were taking longer than expected to recover their R&D costs, while others became obsolete too quickly.
 

Management recognized that some sort of structured decision-making process had to be put in place whereby management could either cancel a project early before massive resources were committed or redirect efforts to different objectives. David Mathews was assigned as the project manager in charge of developing a new product development (project management) methodology for Dorale Products.
 

David understood the benefits of a project management methodology, especially as a structured decision-making process. It would serve as a template or a repetitive process such that project success could be incurred over and over again. The methodology would contain sections for project scope definition, planning, scheduling, and monitoring and control. There would also be a section on the role of the project manager, line managers, and executive sponsors.
 
To make the project management methodology easy to use and adaptable to all projects, the methodology would be constructed using forms, guidelines, templates, and checklists rather than the more rigid policies and procedures. This would certainly lower the cost of using the methodology and make it easier to adapt to a multitude of projects. The project managers could then decide whether to implement the methodology on an informal basis or on a more formal basis.
 
The first draft of the new methodology was completed and ready for review by the vice president (VP) of operations who had been assigned as the project sponsor. After a review of the methodology, a meeting was held between the sponsor and the project manager (PM).

Case Approach

Scientific Methodology

We use best scientific approach to solve case study as recommended and designed by best professors and experts in the World. The approach followed by our experts are given below:

Defining Problem

The first step in solving any case study analysis is to define its problem carefully. In order to do this step, our experts read the case two three times so as to define problem carefully and accurately. This step acts as a base and help in building the structure in next steps.

Structure Definition

The second step is to define structure to solve the case. Different cases has different requirements and so as the structure. Our experts understand this and follow student;s university guidelines to come out with best structure so that student will receive best mark for the same.

Research and Analysis

This is the most important step which actually defines the strength of any case analysis. In order to provide best case analysis, our experts not only refer case materials but also outside materials if required to come out with best analysis for the case.

Conclusion & Recommendations

A weak conclusion or recommendations spoil the entire case analysis. Our expert know this and always provide good chunks of volume for this part so that instructors will see the effort put by students in arriving at solution so as to provide best mark.

VP: “I have read over the methodology. Is it your expectation that the methodology should be used on every project?”
 
PM: “We could probably justify using the methodology on every project. This would give us a really good structured decision-making process.”
 
VP: “Using the methodology is costly and perhaps not all projects should require the use of the methodology. I can rationalize the use of the methodology on a $500,000 project. But what if the project is only $25,000 or $50,000? What ifthe project is 30 days in length rather than our usual 6- to 12-month effort?”
 
PM: “I guess we need to define the threshold limits on when project management should be used.”
 
VP: “I have a concern that we should define not only when to use project management but also what a project is. If an activity remains entirely in one functional area, is it still a project according to your definition? Should we also define a threshold limit on how many functional departments must be involved before we define an activity as a project?”
 
PM: “I’ll go back to the drawing board and get back to you in a week or so.”
 
David’s meeting with the sponsor has raised the following questions. How should David respond?
 
1. What is a reasonable definition of a project?
 
2. Is every activity a project or should there be a minimum number of functional boundaries that need to be crossed? If so, how many boundaries?
 
3. How do we determine when project management should be used and when an activity can be handled effectively by one functional group without the use of project management?
 
4. Do all projects need project management?
 
5. Since the use of a formal project management methodology requires time and money,what should be “reasonable” threshold limits for its use?
