...- 1 PM586 SEC H PROJECT PART 1 SEITZ HUNTSVILLE PROJECT PROJECT REPORT Introduction Project Planning is the key to the success of a Project. Seitz Huntsville Project is a very large project with a budget of $2,750,000 to be completed in only 18 months. Janis Clark, the Project Manager for Seitz Huntsville Project seems very determined in implementing this Project, having all the support from board of directors and access to functional elements at the corporate plant. Steve Pokorski, the Vice President of Operations, and Joe Downs (was also a Project Manager candidate for this project), the Director of Plant Engineering, were also asked to help Janis in anyway, even if they had to go out of the way. 2 Janis Strategy Mark Green, the Project Sponsor asked Janis to furnish the Project artifacts before proceeding further and Janiss approach was to convert her task list to Project Charter, Scope Statement and WBS. Since she had already created a task list, it was easier for her to build a WBS but that certainly is correct path. Janis, to the best of my knowledge, should have created a Project Charter first with the help of her assistants. A charter document is the WHAT of a project and if not planning properly, the Project is destined to fail. Charter document is used to communicate between the Project Teams, Stake holders and the rest of the company about the Project. This document is the foundation of the Project. It authorizes the project manager to proceed with the project. After...

...Course Project Introduction | | In this course, you will have one course project and will require two different assignments – Course Project Part I and Course Project Part II. This project will test your knowledge of all of the project management tools and techniques that we'll cover in this course. Before you begin, please review the PM 586 Course Project Tour. [You'll find the link above.] This audio/visual tool will take you on a "tour" of the project and will highlight many of the logistics and "need to know" information to successfully complete the two parts of the project. In addition, this course project does require use of Microsoft Project. If you are not familiar with the software or just need a "refresher," please run through the tutorials above or look at the end of the chapters in the textbook for a mini-lesson of the software. Course Project Description | | Johann Seitz founded the SEITZ Corporation in 1982. The main products of the firm were small- to medium-sized plastic bottles and containers, used mainly in the food and dairy industries. By 1985, the annual sales of the corporation had reached $31 million and the firm enjoyed a dominant market position in the upper Midwest. In 1998, Walter and Teri Seitz, Johann’s grandchildren, assumed the day-to-day operation of the business. Teri Seitz was a somewhat unstructured, but diligent, student of the latest business school theory and decided that in order to meet increased competition, especially...
