Several people working on the Global Treps Project

CHAPTER 09Running CaseSeveral people working on the Global Treps Project are confused about their responsibilities for providing content for the new website. Recall that the team members include you, the project manager, Bobby, the IT guy, and three people who will run shart-tank-like events in Vietnam, India, and Ethiopia (Kim, Ashok, and Alfreda). Recall that the activities in the WBS for the in-house development include the following:3.1.1.1 Guidelines and templates for events3.1.1.2 Acceptance of ideas for needed new products or services3.1.1.3 Custom site for 20 eventsYou and your team also need to provide information for the videos that you are outsourcing. Recall that the purpose of these short videos is to show people how to use the site and provide suggestions for holding the events. That activity is 1.3.1.3 Video creation for website in the WBS. You have selected the company that will do the outsourced video creation, and their main contact person is Angela.1. Prepare a RACI chart for the four WBS activities listed. You decide that one person should be accountable for each of these four activities, spreading the work between you, Kim, Ashok, and Alfreda. Bobby will be informed on each activity, and you will be consulted on the ones you are not accountable for. Document key assumptions you make in preparing the chart.2. You realize that all of your team members have different personality types, and you believe you could work better as a team if you understood each other better. You asked everyone to take an MBTI-based assessment (a free one you found at www.humanmetrics.com). You are an ENTJ, Bobby is an INTJ, Kim is an ISFP, Ashok is an ESTJ, and Alfreda is an ISFJ. Find information about each of these MBTI types and summarize their traits as well as suggestions for improving teamwork.3. Angela, the person in charge of the company preparing the short videos for your website, has suggested that you work together to prepare a detailed list of resources available to help prepare scripts and edit the videos they will create. You decide to use animations instead of real people in the videos, and Angela’s company has a lot of experience in that area. Together, you decide that you will need someone to take on the roles of script writers, script editors, animators, sound experts, content editors, and technical editors. Angela and her team will do all of the animating, sound, and technical work and will provide guidance for you and your team to do the other work. To keep costs down and stay on schedule, you decide to plan for all of the video work to be done in 20 days, using no more than 240 total hours of effort, with about half of the effort from Angela’s company. Prepare a resource histogram to estimate the number of hours by role for each of the 20 days. Document key assumptions you make in preparing the histogram.
