Project Overview Statement—Executive Summary
• •
Kosmic Music – Solutions provided for Kosmic Music could be ported on the same platform of this project as both the offices are in the same floor. FMS – Status of this application and need for those information in to the proposed solution sets.
Project Conditions Project Assumptions • • • •
Auto CAD Design Review would be the software that would be used to review the drawings at the client machine. Draftsman who are creating the drawings should convert the same in to a .dwf file and then store it in the repository IT Resources that are presently available are being shared for this solution. Simple Linear Work flows for the authorizations and approvals.
Project Issues • •
Adaptability of the Draftsman to create a .dwf file for all the drawings being made. Present IT Infrastructure and also the connectivity of internet through a DSL.
•
Usage of Windows environment, the AutoCAD design review would not open in a Mac Version. As the Executive Sponsor is using a Mac System the changes in the IT Assets should be taken care.
Project Risks • •
Many external vendors and implementation of their software and hardware is involved. So there could be a risk of schedule delay if any vendors don’t turn up on time. As the Key End users travel most frequently the availability of their time for implementation and training is mandatory.
Project Constraints •
Delay or Schedule changes by the end users would be a major constraint for coordinating the different vendors and hence the implementation would get longer.
