Software Corp. has been hired by the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz,
Germany to develop an online knowledge-sharing platform for its students. The
contract has been signed on the 27th of August 2001 and the project must be
completed by the 22nd of October 2001. This is due to the university’s promise
to provide the system before the semester’s first exams take place.
This proposal examines the details of the project in order to make it run
smoothly. It addresses the issues of the project’s scope, activities that have to
be conducted throughout the project, financial feasibility, scheduling, and the
project’s viability.
To sum things up, we consider the project as feasible and relatively easy to
realize. The timeframe is sufficient and the project will provide a return on
investment of about 39%, which is outstanding. The project’s risks can be
considered as relatively low. Providing the expected functionality will be a
challenge, but is definitely achievable because we have exactly the right people
and enough time to complete this task.
