Project Management- Project part 1 Title: Initiate and Plan
Project Introduction:You have been newly appointed as project manager in a corporate office and have been assigned a project for the new branch offices that are being constructed. The project is due in 6 months. The idea is that three newly constructed medical offices need to be outfitted with new printers and the projects will be worked sequentially. Each office needs a new color printer to prepare high-speed, multi-page reports. The printers must be able to handle both high quality and draft quality color printing back-to-back pages. The printers must come from a major supplier because the company wants to maximize potential discounts for corporate clients. Potential sources include Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples. The printers must come with a significant warranty and a guarantee of quick response for service as down time could significantly influence major project deliverables.Project part 1 Title: Initiate and PlanResearch three companies’ websites and identify three potential printers that could meet the requirement.
