Background:Manage Your Health, Inc. (MYH) provides a variety of health care services across the globe. MYH has more than 20,000 full-time employees and more than 5000 part-time employees. MYH recently updated its strategic plan, and key goals including reducing internal costs, increasing cross-selling of products and exploiting new Web-based technologies to help employees, customers, and suppliers work together to improve the development and delivery of its health care products and services.The Information Technology department is developing an idea for an intranet application to help support these strategic goals, a “Recreation and Wellness Intranet”. The purpose of this intranet application is to help all employees improve their health. A recent study showed that MYH pays 20% more than the industry average for employee health care premiums primarily due to the poor health of its employees. They believe that this application will help improve employee health within one year of rollout which should result in lower health insurance premiums, providing net savings of at least $30/employee/year over the next 4 years.This application should include the following capabilities:Allow employees to register for company sponsored recreational programs such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, walking and other sports;Allow employees to register for company sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking and manage other health related issues;Track data on employee involvement in these recreational and health management programs; Offer incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them.Analyse the data to correlate involvement with these programs and improvements in workplace attendance.Your task as project manager is to develop the following:A project scope statement for the project which should be as specific as possible in describing product characteristics and requirements as well as all of the project deliverables. It should also include testing and training as part of the project.Identify at least six milestones and describe each of them using the SMART criteria.Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project which is based on the project scope you develop in task 1.Using the WBS developed in task 3 create a Gantt chart using MS Project 2007 (or 2010).Using the Gantt chart from task 4 update your Gantt chart with the milestones from task 2 and include task durations and dependencies. The schedule goal for this project is 6 months.(NOTE: The selected milestone has to be on the critical path.)Produce a finance plan, a communication plan, a quality plan, a risk management plan, and a training plan for the project.Assumptions:You can assume that MYH would not need to purchase any additional hardware or software for the project.Any other assumptions that you make must be realistic and fully documented (explained in detail).RationaleThis assessment has been designed to allow you to show your ability to:Be able to demonstrate how a practicing project manager actually applies project management skills, methods, techniques and tools ;Be able to use an industry standard project management software tool (Microsoft Project 2007); Apply project management skills, methods, techniques and tools to a real world problem typical of a project manager;Be able to describe what exactly a quality system is and how it is achieved in project development; andBe able to identify how the disciplined application of quality assurance can lead to significant productivity gains.Be able to demonstrate how to expedite project tasks during project delivery
