PROJECT AND RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (E2) ‐ PRACTICE TASKS

Attachment:

From: CEO

Memorandum to all Board Members:

The project to redesign Crowncare’s website is due to commence shortly but already potential
problems have been identified with the proposed functionality of the new site and the fact that it
is not easy to navigate.

The Project Manager when questioned has expressed concern about the lack of initial discussion
surrounding project constraints. He feels that the extra time now needed (and therefore the rising
costs of the project) to improve the functionality are a result of these constraints not being fully
understood in the first instance. He estimates that the change to the functionality will delay the
project by several weeks.

The Board has had feedback from the project team members who have complained that there has
been a lack of visibility of the project manager. Team members have said that they were unaware
of any deadlines as they had not been shown any plan or schedule of work and this had made it
difficult to prioritise tasks and understand how they can contribute to the project.

I have called an emergency meeting with the Project Manager in order to come up with some
immediate solutions which could address the estimated project slippage.
