Part 1 – Broadband X

Read the Broadband-X case

Preet Zayan has asked for your help in creating the documents that will make up the project plan for implementing ERP at Broadband-X.  Use your critical thinking skills!

Assignment Specifics

Preet has asked your team to draft the Expected Benefits and Associated KPIs section of the project plan.

The document you create should:

• Include a title page with the name

• Include a table of contents

• Have a section for each benefit Broadband-X expects to achieve by implementing the new ERP system.  In some cases this will be the remedy of a current problem.  In others it will be a potential business improvement.  You should have at least 5 sections.  For each benefit include:

  • A paragraph describing the problems and improvements

  • At the conclusion of the project, how Broadband-X can measure whether or not this benefit was achieved

• Be written as if you are a member of the Broadband-X team -- so "we" not "they" -- and were using this document to help manage the project

• Submit in a word document

Part 2

Assignment Specifics

Preet has asked your team to draft the Risk Management section of the project plan.

Hint: You may find it useful to do a little internet research on common ERP implementation risks.

The document you create should:

• Include a title page with the name

• Include a table of contents

• Have a section for each risk Broadband-X may face in executing the ERP implementation.  You should be able to identify at least 5 risks.  Each section should include:

  • A shorthand title for the risk (for example: "Inconsistent accounting data while running parallel")

  • A paragraph describing the possible negative outcome and how it could harm Broadband-X

  • A paragraph describing how the risk can be mitigated (prepared for so as to lessen the effects)

• Be written as if you are a member of the Broadband-X team -- so "we" not "they" -- and were using this document to help manage the project
