Project management assignment!need help to draw structure chart!
You are a project manager at SNE Heavy Equipment.
You have just returned from a two-week trip from Barbados where you closed a very successful,well-managed project.You had given the team a well-deserved end of project party and released them from the project.On checking your voice mail at home,you see you have two messages.The first one is from the company president,William G.Pepper III who wanted to thank you for a job well done.He thought the
write-up in the Thursday's newspaper,The Mop and Pail,was great publicity for the
company.You suppress a smile and check the next message.Your smile disappears.
The message is from your boss,Director of Consulting.
"Welcome back,I couldn't get you on your cell.Guess you must have been on the
plane.Look,we have a situation.Project Minor has hit an all time low.The clients are
really unhappy with progress and the deliverables so far.In addition,performance is
pathetic and we are on the hook.The project manager is Alfred E.Newman.You may
know him already.I know you just got back but can we meet about this on Monday?
ASAP?I may need you to go to Aberness by Tuesday and get us out of this.You have
a good weekend."
You ignore the last remark and replay the message.Alfred had never been a good
project manager,but it may not be his fault.The clients here were Cold Stone
Minerals,a conglomerate of 3 leading mining companies.You knew that the project
in Nunavut was critical but you have no idea what could have gone wrong.Why do
you have to get this disaster project?Aberness up in the far north of Scotland in
December must be nice you surmise.

Monday - December 17,2007
As soon as you walk in to the company office in London,you realize that Alfred's
project must have been really bad.There is no welcome from anyone after your
successful Barbados project.Your boss calls you immediately for a closed-door
meeting.
It appears that the ￡1,300,000 project for delivering a computer system to locate
precious minerals has repeatedly identified incorrect drill sites.The contract cost is
relatively small.The eventual business from this project would generate revenue close
to ￡10 million.You raise an eyebrow and make a mental note "So why did Alfred
become PM for this,if it was such an important project?Didn't anyone read his
'Lessons Learned' reports from past projects?"
