Do you think the A-Bank receipt imaging system project was a success?
Defend your position with all of the following 1 – 7 topics listed below and for each of these
topics, you should address the following questions and show support for your position:
– How successful was this aspect of the project?
– How did the success/failure of this aspect contribute to the overall success/failure of the
project?
1. Planning (and design): planning/design process, methods, management, etc.
2. Stakeholders: Stakeholder involvement, communications, etc.
3. Cost: Budgeting, overall funding (outside sources), penalties, etc.
4. Team: Effectiveness of the team, communications, politics, game play, etc.
5. Scope: Scope development, change management, etc.
6. Risk: What were the risks? How well were risks managed/mitigated? Contingency planning,
etc.
7. Time: Time management, etc.
Although your group may regard the project as being successful in some respects and failing in
other respects, your opening introduction paragraph should state a clear stance on the success or
failure of the receipt imaging system project as a whole. The topics listed above may appear in
your paper in any order that you choose.
Your final document must include a cover page and works cited page, neither of which count
toward the 4-page requirement.
PowerPoint slide printout. These 10 slides do not count toward the 4 pages required for the
assignment. Put your “script” for the slide in the notes portion. TIP: Follow a guide for creating
effective PowerPoint Presentation slides. There are numerous ones out there, e.g.,
http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/design/, or http://www.lifehack.org/articles/featured/10tips-for-more-effective-powerpoint-presentations.html, or many others, most of which have very
Page 1 similar messages. Remember to develop the slides as if you were present, speaking in
conjunction with each slide.
You should write the paper with the assumption that the reader has read the case and therefore
you should not include long or numerous quotes from the case.
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, and flow will count toward your grade on the
paper. Tip: Perhaps select someone in your group to do the final edit on the document and to
make the paper read as though written by one person. Tip: The Writing Center
(http://writingcenter.unlv.edu/) provides free in-person and online services to assist students in
all stages of the writing process.
