Justify the commitment of Project D using the
portfolio process you defined in (Project Outline). Make whatever assumptions
are necessary (cash flows to fit NPV analysis, strategic alignment
determination, etc.). Your team should prepare the following items for the
report to be submitted to the Instructor:

1. Quantify the objectives of the various
   projects, the objectives of the SBU and the objectives of the parent
   company and present the KPIs of the industry . Other suggestions are:

·
Assign weights to the specific
parameters in the selection criteria in coming up with the final ranking and
include a marketing component to measure perception

·
Offer a risk assessment measurement and
risk mitigation plan. Specify the types of risk, weigh them with respect to
impact and offer a plan to handle. It would seem to me that each project has
unique implementation and commercial risks, which would make the risk matrix a
necessity.

·
comments on any organizational and/or
governance issues

1. Recommendation
   Memo—Write
   a relatively short memo to your manager describing your recommendation for
   changing the project portfoliobased on your portfolio process.
   Justify your decision on Project D and describe any impact on the rest of
   the programme (Projects A, B, and C) and your rationale for that impact.
   Attach whatever data is needed to back up your recommendation. This memo
   should be 6–8 pages (not counting attachments). No more than 6 pages of
   attachments for this part.

1. Executive
   Summary Project Plan—Assume you are in the definition phase of Project D and developing
   an executive-level project plan that will be an attachment to your
   recommendation memo. It should follow the attached outline. This document
   should be at least 8 pages but no more than 18 pages, including any
   attachments.

The documents should be double-spaced, in 10- or
12-point font, and with one-inch margins. These are documents for an executive,
so be concise and to the point.
