CASE STUDIES

NEW CENTURY HEALTH CLINIC

Background

To ensure the quality, cost, and timeliness of the new
information system, New Century is considering a project management approach.
To obtain a better understanding of project management, Doctor Jones contacted
Precision Planning, a consulting firm that specializes in managing projects of
this type. He invited the company to deliver a brief presentation on project
management concepts and advantages, and to submit a proposal for project
management consulting services.

You joined Precision Planning two
years ago as a project assistant, after working two summers as a student
intern. Your supervisor, Charlie West, asked you to develop the presentation
for New Century and you are excited about the opportunity. Charlie said that
main objective is to provide a clear, informative presentation.

Charlie wants you to include the
following topics in your presentation: an overview of project management and
its history, a description of the process, and an explanation of the most
important terms and concepts. Charlie also wants you to describe task
identification, various types of relationships among tasks, and schedule
development. He says you should show how Gantt and PERT/CPM charts are
developed, and how they can be used to plan, track and control projects.
Charlie also said that your presentation should include a specific example to
illustrate all the main points.
