MGT2 - Executive Summary Task 3C.docx Executive Summary Xemba Translations Case Study Xembas Executive Summary C: Executive Summary In the project analysis we found and encountered costs and schedule issues. Below you can view and find the variance main root cause: Resource restrictions – We found some resource constraints because of leveling resources. Such resource restrictions can be eliminated by reassigning a few resources to other areas that are running behind schedule. Fire encounter – There was a fire that happened at the suppliers main warehouse that pushed back the project a few weeks behind. If some of the equipment resources can be reallocated, the delay can be easily reduced to a few days instead of weeks. Weather conditions – As learned in this project, a big snowstorm hit the Midwest delaying the testing phase. It was recommended to have a backup location where weather conditions are not an issue. The Cost Variance (CV) was main affected by the weather conditions making the web-based meetings an issue and causing delays to the testing processes in the testing phase. The CV could be eliminated by having the costs of the firewall moved to the ITs budget. This suggestion was proposed by Xembas CEO. The CEOs suggestion by moving the firewall costs to the ITs budget can significantly reduce the budget by $31,000.00. The budget suggested can be used to purchase the extra equipment (computer desktops) that were identified for telecommuters.
